Gay Lea Grass-Fed Salted Butter
The brick is yellow on purpose.
Gay Lea Grass-Fed Salted Butter is a 250 g block. The ingredients are still just cream and salt, and the cream is from grass-fed cows on Canadian farms. A 10 g spoon is 70 calories and 8 g of fat.
The colour comes from that grass diet, not from added dye. Gay Lea also lists a silkier feel and a set ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. The co-op that makes it is owned by about 1,200 farms.
It is sold nationwide, not only in Ontario. The plain 454 g salted block is a different recipe and a different size.
