French term or phrase: beurre pommade doux (mou)

This is one of the ingredients in a French monkfish recipe:

50 g de beurre pommade doux (mou)

Not sure how all the adjectives relate to each other.
Any suggestions as to a good way of putting this in English?

Sweet Butter

Sweet cream butter, which is simply referred to as "butter", is produced from cream that has been churned until it becomes semisolid. It may be sold salted or unsalted. Many people mistakenly believe that "unsalted butter" is the only type of sweet cream butter (because of the absence of salt) and "salted" butter refers to a product that is entirely different, when actually both products are identical except for the salt. Any butter produced with sweet rather than sour cream is known as sweet cream butter. Both unsalted and salted butter are popular for everyday use, but unsalted butter is preferred for the preparation of sweet dishes.
