From //paleo-britain.co.uk

Grass-fed butter
Best choice: raw, grass-fed + organic
Hook and Son //www.hookandsonfarmshop.co.uk sell raw butter, both unsalted and salted but you can only buy it alongside their milk and other products
Waitrose and Ocado //www.ocado.com sell Isigny Sainte-Mere raw butter, both unsalted and salted
Kerrygold is probably the most readily available grass-fed butter (it’s not raw); it is stocked in most UK supermarkets. Cows are grass-fed for up to 312 days per year.
Middle choice: Yeo Valley do organic unsalted and salted butters, available in most supermarkets. The cows are only grass-fed for part of the year.

I know raw milk is banned in some countries. When I was living in Australia people were selling it as ‘bath milk’ in order to be able to sell it legally and people were giving it to their dc and a child died.

I think raw butter would be from unpasteurised milk. Here in Normandy we get big slabs of it in the markets.

We get lait cru and crème crue too. All delicious.

Does anyone know if Aldi does a grass fed butter?

I feel like I remember one in a silver packet?

Thanks for all the replies. I read up on the raw butter but I can't easily get to a wait rose.

Being in a silver packet isn't necessarily that it's raw butter - it's more likely to be a lactic butter, one that has a lactic culture in it, like Lurpak. (As opposed to a sweet cream butter, which tends to have a yellow or gold pack, like Anchor)

Sorry BIWI I meant I think it was grass fed butter.

BIWI I was going to ask about lactic vs sweetcream. Would a lactic butter taste 'off' to someone used to sweetcream? I really like butter with sea salt crystals in, but there's one that tastes distinctly yucky to me, and I was wondering if the lactic / sweetcream difference was the reason.

I saw Isigny Sainte-Mere raw butter in M&S and Sainsburys too.

Less than 85% of Kerry Gold cows feed is grass.

The Isigny is in Booths as well - unpasteurised, and so good I eat slabs of it when I'm feeling greedy Blush.

not Kerrygold. they don't advertise as grass fed year round which means they aren't.

there are local farms that sell real year round grass fed butter. I use www.therealfoodcompany.org.uk/shop-online/raw-dairy-products-50/raw-cultured-butter.html
but there are others. from raw milk is the most nutritious

Gosh @TimeIhadaNameChange this is a very old thread that's just been resurrected! But I never saw your post originally. Yes, definitely, if you're used to one, then the other type may taste a bit weird/funny.

I'm pretty sure Anchor would be grass fed butter - dairy cows in nz tend to be on the grass year round.

Cows eat grass and silage

Horses eat hay & haylage

Both would also be fed a dry mix food too

I don't believe that dairy products have to specify what a cow, goat, sheep, camel has eaten

Kerrygold is the reliable grass fed brand which is always at the supermarkets I go to. I love Yeo Valley, it’s a little expensive and not always available but tastes good and I like collecting the token things (even though I win nothing)
