I really miss the half spherical sea salt president butter from France. When I lived there I would finish one per one to two weeks. It is tastes sooo good and I don't know why. Also really interesting how this butter sweats. No idea why.

I tried for a long time to find it in LA but no luck. Sure you can find the boxy President butter but it is not the same.

It is not sweating, it is the salt cristals which are drawing the water/humidity and at saturation it creates this little water droplet.

Yeah yeah I know it is not actually sweating haha.

I second this, I'm in France and I specifically do not buy this President butter because it is too good and reminds me of my childhood. I know it will disappear quickly in my fridge, along with my honey pot.

To avoid this I buy normal butter.
