What's your favourite butter?

[chickenbhunalambbhunaprawnbhunamuchroomrice]

I'm aware this is a highly personal thing! As I'm sat here eating my lunch. A jacket potato with a shit tonne of butter and sharp cheddar. Crispy seasoned skin. It's heaven.

I am a clover girl through and through. If I cant get clover, I'll find a shop that does. I tried to get on the lurpak hype and it's nice on crusty bread. I'm aware clover isn't pure butter either.

What's your go to butter? And your favourite combos?

Kerrygold or President (not the salt crystal one).

Clover isn't any amount butter. It's made mostly from vegetable oils with a little buttermilk added.

My favourite butter is any French cultured unsalted butter.

Lurpak

French with salt crystals

This stuff is amazing, but I'm not sure if it's available outside Ireland.

It's quite easy to make your own butter from double cream.

President is my favourite that you can get in the UK.

Clover is the actual opposite of butter! It’s marg made with buttermilk - ie the milk that is left over once the actual butter has been taken out of it.

For me any salted butter is good, but a wanky posh one with salt crystals on crusty bread for the win.

DP bought Willow once to put on new potatoes and was most put out when I said it wasn’t butter and tasted funny. In his mind it’s a block of yellow fat and should therefore be considered butter. His spread of choice is one of those Vitality type health spreads that claim to be delicious but taste like greasy vomit.

Bungay Butter

Morrison's West Country salted butter. Better than similar from M&S. The Lidl equivalent will also do.

We have 'buttery spread' in the fridge for the kids' sandwiches but it takes months to finish. The real butter gets finished in no time!

I used to like Kerrygold but they reduced the salt percentage so moved to Sainsbury's West Country Farmhouse butter. Also like Italian butter but only occasionally. I have my own butter dish just for me
Kids & DH have Yeo Valley Spreadable Butter which is at least 50% butter - just much easier for sandwiches.

Kerrygold normally but i tried some of that french stuff with the salt crystals on holiday in Brittany last week and it is truly divine!

I'm fine with any real butter, we buy golden cow, but Kerrygold is my favourite.

Clover isn’t butter! We always have salted block of butter just supermarket-much tastier and healthier

President, but moved to Lurpak as President became more expensive and DH insisted on doing healthier choices.🤣

Is that you, Douglasina?!

How's the trumpet playing going - I do hope you've kept it up?!

Brittany butter with Guérande salt cristals, on a baguette.

Otherwise unsalted.

Clover isn't butter it's margarine 🤮
I like Norpak ( Aldi) or Castle Dairies spreadable.

I've done this before when I'm all out on a Sunday evening, very easy!

@Purplecatshopaholic we can not belong here together!

Bungay, Longmans and Sublime

I don't like it when people say you can make your own, it's so easy and delicious, and then DON'T TELL US HOW THEY DO IT! 😠

Kerrygold for me all the time.

I thought you could get Lurpak oily spread (in a tub) and proper Lurpak butter in silver foil? I like real butter, cut in slices straight from the fridge, on twice-toasted crumpets - I like to feel and taste it separately from whatever it's on. OH isn't bothered and has some horrible knife habits so has his very own Anchor spreadable muck (which is usually covered in crumbs and scrape marks along the rim, yuk), he's not allowed anywhere near my proper butter - which is never posh and usually supermarkets own at £1.69ish!

Trewithen Golden Salted Butter - beautifully rich. It makes lovely cakes too.
