Of course it also depends on the cow as to how yellow it is. Our Jerseys have naturally very yellow cream and the cream of a Guernsey is even deeper yet.
The butter we get is a deeper yellow than the store butter like the yokes of our eggs are a deeper yellow than the eggs in the store but the store butter is not dyed.
Now margarine is dyed.
Additional facts:
There are no rainbows in milk.
Even though milk is white, it is not racist.
People are unusual in drinking the milk of another species and in drinking milk after infancy--but that is thanks to a mutation present in some populations (mostly Europe and parts of Asia) but not others. A different mutation in one part of Africa gives people there lactose tolerance (but I think that is a very small part of the sub-Saharan African population).
YAY!
I would much rather celebrate cheese than sleaze.
Thats true. Most of us living in rural Wisconsin are out here because someone needs to take care of all of those retired dairy cows. Not all of them invest well enough to spend their last days on cruise ships.
Modern dairy cows dont get most of their food from grazing fresh grasses. So some butter is quite yellow by comparison but most is only very slightly so. Depending on where you read that too could have an effect in that these days people tend to use “butter” as the term for some awful margarine substance and that is definitely going to need something to make it look like something other than bug guts.
Its really the hill cows that I feel the worst for because they need assistance putting on their prosthetic limbs on the short side.
