Frying butter is one of those items that elude categorization. It's butter but not to be stored refrigerated. It's a bit like tofu. In a store you don't already know, you never know where to look for it; can be in the dairy section, with the meat, or elsewhere. All you know for sure is, it's refrigerated -- even in Flums.
Advice as to where frying butter can be found are futile. It's available in most decent grocery stores, but it can be in the dairy section, with oils etc. or even elsewhere, mainly because it is to be stored at room temperature, although Coop Flums SG keeps it next to the ordinary butter, but then, Flums always has its own ways. It's Boondockville at its best, a place where people still shut the light down using a hammer.
Why is it futile, if someone takes the time to check and then shares the information? That doesn't make any sense.
Well, using Ghee definitely makes a hge difference to a curry vs vegetable oil, it's going to taste amazing.
Hungry, anyone?
If I wrote that Coop has it next to regular butter, that would be true for Coop Flums but wrong for Coop Walenstadt and probably most Coop branches. But that's exactly what some well-meaning people often do here, not only on this thread. "Migros has X in the W section", "Denner has Y next to U" etc. may all betrue for one store, but Switzerland being Switzerland, things may differ down to a local level, even within the same city.
It's called Bratbutter / beurre à rôtir / burro per arrostire . Ask the staff instead of scanning the wrong shelves. Simple.
Why yes, thank you. I'm starving...
I'll be there in three minutes.

As to the costs, I buy Ghee at chf 8 per 500gm at local Indian store, so no real saving.
