I have an insatiable need to manhandle 10 kg of pure butter with my bare hands

There’s a nugget of management excellence in this video. Not just the delicious butter, but the manager said “I’ll shape for an hour, I’ll wrap for an hour… everyone rotates roles to keep the passion high about what we do”. This is gold. Humans become dull and bored when doing the same task all day, every day. Rotating stations and breaking up the day keeps everyone passionate about the product they produce. Team before self. 👏👏

I cant express enough not only how good this butter is, but just that its a whole other experience. Since having it, ive tried many high end butters from all over and none compare, Bordier truly is a giant step above the rest. I only wish I was able to find a place that could procure it for me here in Minnesota :(

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ This Message is from the slave and Messanger of Allah Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to the Mankind. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore, I invite you all to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin. (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:) Allah almighty our creator says, Say, "O people of the Book! Come to what is common between us and you, that we worship none but Allah; that we associate nothing with Him and that none of us shall make as our Lord any other than Allah." If they reject your invitation, then tell them plainly, "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who worship and surrender to Allah alone)." Qur'an (3:64) Allah almighty says, Your real Deity is but One. He Who is Lord of the earth and the heavens and of all that is between them, and Lord of all Easts. Qur'an (37:5) Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in hereafter life. Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Hell or Paradise depending upon the good deeds.Hereafter life is true life we all should work for that life not for that which is temporary. God Almighty says to the Mankind, Say(O Prophet), “Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.” Quran (45:26)

@@JN-wr9he Butter doesn't carry germs or bacteria well due to it being salty and basically already a preserved food, no risk of them getting anyone sick. All professional restaurants don't use gloves unless they're doing something greasy / slimy and actually need to wear them to keep their hands free of grease or slime. Hands can be washed. If you're wearing gloves you don't wash them that often and a tiny hole can be made in the gloves that contaminates everything. On top of that it's harder to feel through gloves when doing precision work. A well-washed hand with no gloves is much more trustworthy than a gloved one.
