Which butter/spread is actually tasty?

[cuppycups]

I've just had Morrison's own bland and tasteless sunflower spread. I want something delicious on my toast. Any recommendations?

Lidl have a butter with salt flakes in it which is to die for...

Waitrose Essential unsalted. Actually smells and tastes like butter.

Tesco Finest Normandy butter with big salt flakes in it - so delicious we now use double the amount

Got to be Kerrygold. It's miles better than normal butter. And spreadable at room temperature. You must try it.

Le President, or any other French style butter
Lurpak or anything else with added oil is rank

Lurpak (if you’re not dieting!)

Clover light (if you are fat like me and need to lose some serious lbs)

Kerrygold, both as a block and as a spread. Might need to take out a mortgage to buy it these days but it is the best. I find President a bit bland, same with Lurpak which I used to love.

Waitrose essential salted butter.

Jersey salted butter

Butter...

Aldi used to do a lovely Welsh butter. Now they do a nice Cornish one, and Asda sell organic butter that’s very good. In fact almost any proper unadulterated butter will do, salted/unsalted is a matter of preference.

Since having a baby and having to cook more, I've converted to butter. Actual butter in a foil pack. It's just so much nicer and if I need it softened I just blast a bit in the microwave for 5 seconds

Flora buttery

Butter.....mmmm
Toast and butter.....mmmm
Crusty bread and butter.....mmmm

I'm hungry!!

Lurpak
Norpak
Or anchor
Kerrygold is pretty good too

Anything else is bland, disgusting vileness 🤮

Kerrygold - it has one of the highest salt percentages of any butter available (2%).
Currently out in Lanzarote on holiday & bizarrely it's available over here in the local supermarket (not a touristy one either) alongside other local butters.

Definitely real butter, not spread - God only knows what’s in that crap. Agree President is good.

BUT - why not buy British (if that’s where you are)? Less food miles and support UK dairy farmers.

Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Waitrose British salted and unsalted butters are all delicious. Countrylife also a British brand.

Lurpack if butter

Clover or Flora Buttery if it's butter alternative

Butter is just fatty and revolting
WtAF?????
Spread is slimy and synthetic.
Each to their own.
I could happily live without chocolate but I would find the world a very sad place without bread and butter.

Grass fed cows produce the best flavour, so although it is a bit more expensive organic butter will be more 'grassy' and higher welfare farms.

Kerrygold and country life etc will be from cows fed mostly on grass.

Danish cows are mostly factory farmed, don't see a field, so not lurpak.
Anchor has come from New Zealand, probably frozen, definitely not fresh.
Both of these are mass produced that have a reputation for quality because of their massive marketing budgets.

Lurpak slightly salted, and warm it to spread under a hot mug.

I like Lurpak or one if its dupes e.g. Tesco Butterpak

Kerrygold or Yeo valley.

I like President butter in France but it doesn’t taste the same here? Why??

Margarine tastes like crap.

Lurpak or President are both good. The President spreadable is more like real butter as it doesn't have oil in. Anchor if you want a salty spreadable.

I don't get the Lurpak love at all.

Especially if the poor cows are factory farmed cows. Bleurgh.

Big fat NO to Lurpak

Grass fed cows produce the best flavour, so although it is a bit more expensive organic butter will be more 'grassy' and higher welfare farms.

Absolutely agree re grass fed for flavour - but, did you know that organic dairy does not, in itself, indicate grass fed? Organic dairy farm near us keeps the cows in sheds. We are not organic but our cows are out to pasture 9/10 months of the year. Very high welfare, just not on an organic contract from the supermarket.

Think we need ‘free range dairy’ labelling actually, as this is a much higher indicator of welfare & quality.
