I think that Plugra is made here in the US, in the European style. It is slightly more creamy, since it has a bit more butterfat. It also has a more "buttery" flavor.
I bought some Kerrygold Irish butter, and it was wonderful on fresh bread, I think that it is a cultured butter. It is also from grass fed cows and is naturally quite yellow.

Honestly, I use Cabot which is similar in that they have a version that is 83% butterfat which is the same proportion as Plugra for less money. And yes, French or Irish butter will give you excellent baking results. Less water in the product means a better rising cake.

Now if I can just find it locally. I saw it in the Food Network Magazine. I haven't actually looked for it here, but I don't recall seeing it. I guess it could just be that I wasn't looking for it though ... I hope.

I love Cabot products, wish we had more of them here.
