About the presentation:

Presentation is also the freestyle in sport. You can serve the butter in a small bowl or on a plate, cut it out with biscuit molds or shape it into a roll and cut it into thalers.

How to roll:

1. Place the butter mixture on a large piece of cling film.
2. Now place the foil over it and use your hand to push the butter mixture inwards from the outer edge. Hold the foil tight!
3. Now shape as you like and finally twist the open ends.
4. Now the butter roll goes back into the fridge to set.
