The standard butter wrapper gives us only tablespoons, which isn’t useful when following a recipe that calls for, say 1/4 cup.

I’m pleased to announce that at least one company has finally designed a better butter label. Clover, the people with the silly cartoon cows, has started marking 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2-cup measurements on their wrappers, in addition to the tablespoon measurements.

As you can see, their organic butter (top image) doesn’t use the helpful new label — only the non-organic kind. Well, it’s a start!
