This ain’t your ordinary “green beans with butter.”
A couple years ago we had a magnificent dinner at Alinea, the amazing cutting-edge restaurant of Chef Grant Achatz in Chicago. In addition to all the mind-blowing courses, one small but totally memorable attention to detail stood out, the butter. Goat Butter. And I have been searching for it ever since. Pure white. Softer than cow’s butter at room temperature. Very subtle yet intriguing chèvre flavors. Recently I was ecstatic to find Cabrima Goat Butter at Whole Foods Market!
From the Netherlands,
Cabrima goat butter is made from fresh Dutch goat milk.
Produced by churning the fresh, pasteurized goat cream. The composition of goat butter has a lower melting point than regular butter, making it easy spreadable. Goat butter does not contain carotene, so the product possesses a clear, white color. (from Cabrima website here)
Goat cheese lovers, you will be in heaven!

I must say I've never seen goat butter but then it's not like I actually went looking for it. Now I'll look.
Most importantly – what's on the table for RH this year?

I learned something today. I had no idea that Goat butter existed. Definitely something that I would enjoy. I need to keep my eyes open while shopping to see if I can find some!
Thanks for the info. Will look for it!
I've had goat cheese that tastes like butter, but never goat butter. OK, I'm heading out to find this, too.
I have seen goat butter at the grocer's here, but never tried it. Thank you for introducing it to us!
One of the advantages of living in the EU is the incredible spread of delicacies from all over Europe – I am still not used to the variety and feel like I have to grab it all, lest it will not be there anymore next time around. Right now I am into Robiola cheese from Italy, with lox on a bagel(lookalike).
Oh, we loved that goat butter at Alinea! How wonderful that you found a goat butter at whole foods, I will definitely look for it. It sounds excellent over haricots verts!
Fascinating. I have never tried goat butter, but its easy to find in the supermarkets in the UK.
I have never had goat butter…will definitely have to taste it!
