Ethiopian Butter

At the Cheese Magic counter, there is a sign in Amharic. I asked the guy behind the counter what it said, and he said it referred to a sale on butter.
"Do many Ethiopian people buy butter here?"
"Oh yes", he said, "many. We sell hundreds of dollars worth of butter a week."
Just then, an Ethiopian man approached the counter.
"Ethiopian butter, please."
