The butter has such a small amount it is never even noticed, even when reducing.

Better to use your own kosher or Himalayan rock salt.

But it’s up to each company to determine how much it wants to use in its product, and the amount varies (note that salt itself has a sodium content of only around 40 percent by weight):

• Kerry Gold: 50 milligrams
• Land O’Lakes: 95 milligrams
• Challenge: 90 milligrams
• Safeway O Organics: 90 milligrams
• Straus: 45 milligrams
• Horizon: 115 milligrams
• Lucerne: 90 milligrams

I use salted butter all the time and cannot tell a difference. Salt actually preserves the butter and extends its shelf-life. One teaspoon of salt is equivalent to about 2,300 milligrams of sodium so even Horizon butter has just 1/20th of a teaspoon of salt. One teaspoon of salt is in 2-1/2 sticks! Use Land O'Lakes? Three sticks. Straus butter? It would take over one and a half pounds to equal just one teaspoon of salt.

Go worry about something else.

Salted butter has less than 2% salt. These guys specialize in dispensing advice where none is needed. Skip.

But, I have never seen any proof that 'salted butter' or 'unsalted butter' makes a difference… How about making various dishes using both and then test them and post the results!? I never use unsalted butter, and have never had a problem with the foods that I've prepared!
