That's precisely my point. That the unrefrigerated butter used as is and
the refrigerated butter used as is provide very different flavors and
mouthfeel. And that the "ripened" butter stored out of a refrigerated
state will taste better both immediately, and when compared to chilled
butter permitted to warm.
