As she grew up in Italy, she prefers unsalted, but I tell her that the salted has so much more flavor because salt obviously brings out the flavor, but I think she likes what she grew up with and the unsalted reminds her of Italy, so who can blame her. Lovely dishes of food you made, but I don't know if I could bring myself to bake with that butter...I'd treat it like gold! :)<br /><br />Christina | Christina's Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283573349146845971noreply@blogger.com
