Polaner makes it and there are English imports as well. We had it just the other night with lamb chops.

I use buttermilk in baking and in homemade cornmeal waffles.
I like Apple butter and also prune butter, known as lekjvar. It's used in a lot of Eastern European baked goods and Jewish hamantaschen, eaten on Purim.
It also like it stirred into plain Greek yogurt.
