Indeed. The butter I buy here in Denmark is also 80% fat, and it tastes nothing like the blandness of US butter. Speaking personally, though, I definitely prefer Danish butter to French butter, but French butter is still really good.

Are you sure? Lurpak butter has 82% which is what the article says is the minimum/standard in the EU.

As an aside, I've (UK) pretty much only ever eaten Lurpak for the last 40+ years and recently had an 'argument' with a Continental friend who vilified salted butter, which I just couldn't get my head around as I find unsalted butters tedious. Until, that is, I tried 'going fancy' and buying some expensive French salted butter and realised what he meant. Good Lord, that stuff was salty!

I now appreciate that Lurpak is marked as 'lightly salted', which makes all the difference.

Thank you for a lifetime's dutiful service, Danish Milk Cooperative :)
