Triestini love salt. But not in their butter, as destiny would have it.
Don't worry! You can find salted butter at the big grocery stores like at the Torri shopping mall (centro commerciale), but the down side is that you have to go to the Torri shopping mall. It's a Danish brand called LURPAK. Costs an eye out of the head (as the Triestini would say). You may be able to find the same brand in one of the fancy little shops downtown, especially in the cavana area.
Or!
THE FREE OPTION:
You can make it yourself. Here is the recipe. Take 1/2 cup of regular, unsalted butter, set it out until it hits room temperature. Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of salt with a fork or with your fancy mixer. You can always add more salt if you need, but this ratio works for me. Add bread, dim the lights and you will feel like you are in the fanciest Supper Club in the Midwest.
Enjoy!

Beats me why anyone would want salted butter.
ReplyDelete@Passante. It's a cultural thing and has to do with how you eat your bread. Anglo saxies eat it with salted Butter. Smearing unsalted butter onto bread just isn't the same...If you don't do salted butter, though, Trieste is the place for you!
