Garlic/ Herbal Butter

[chairborne commando]

Does anyone know of a retail grocery store chain
(like Safeway, Albertson's, Kroger, etc.) that carries
a brand of garlic and/or herbal flavored butter?

Preferably, non-cubed if possible.

I've never seen any in the store, but I make my own. I just mash garlic and add it to softened butter, then put it in a container in the fridge. The last time I made it I put it in a baggie. That way you can mush it to what ever shape and size you want it to be. It's really good on vegetables, and that way I can just put it on my serving instead of the whole bowl.

I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I used to work in the bakery at our local grocery store. We had buckets of garlic spread that we used for our garlic bread. It comes in 14# buckets and retails for $28. It doesn't have to be refridgerated after it's opened either. I don't know how long it's shelf life would be, but we kept ours out for a long time and it didn't get moldy. You could go to your local bakery and ask them to order it for you. The down side is that it's a spread and not real butter if that makes any difference.
