Yes... it's easy enough to make but takes 3 days of wait time,
according to this.

We frequent a nearby restaurant that puts cultured butter on the table
and "off" or "spoiled" exactly the reaction I've read in a lot of
reviews. To me, it's more like lightly salted. There's no accounting
for taste. IMO - if they don't like it, they can always ask for olive
oil.
