Here in Virginia, I always buy butter (vs margarine). I buy whatever
brand is on sale when I need it. I normally buy salted but occasionally
buy the unsalted just for a change. I can easily taste the difference.
Unsalted has a sweeter taste but it can go rancid if you leave out too
long in the summer.

Anyway, all butter here is always in paper. The last time I saw foil
used was with margarine. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen
margarine in paper.
