If not Lurpak, what?

[PolaDeVeboise]

I like the 'white' butter of Lurpak, as opposed to the 'yellow' of most. Can anyone recommend a decent alternative?

If it's because Lurpark is too expensive then Lidl Danpak is a good alternative.
If it's because of the conspiracy theorists approach to Arla/Bovaer then Lurpak is just fine.

I've switched to Danepak which is Lidl's version. About half the price and basically the same.

Sainsbury’s So Organic slightly salted

This.

Of course, if you are a conspiracy theorist, or believe nonsense on the internet over peer reviewed work by qualified scientists, then you probably need to be aware that Arla make a lot of supermarket own brand products with exactly the same milk used to make Lurpak etc.

I've been to one of their factories for work. Last time I was there, they were filling containers for Waitrose and Lidl.

How does wanting to eat organic make someone a conspiracy theorist?!

Why can’t we eat lurpak?

Eh?
Where did I suggest that?

I don't understand how people are eating SO much butter (or horrible spreads). I buy a block of butter every 4/5 months and cut it up putting it in the freezer apart from what I need at that time. I'm reading that people are putting butter on their sandwiches then spreads! Bizarre.

Well I make my block last a decade so you need to try harder 🙄

Aldi nordpak is the best lurpak dupe I’ve found

And if you are so flummoxed that some people manage to eat more butter then you then you probably need to get out a little more…

At least all of this shenanigans is hopefully going to reduce the price of butter, which has reached ridiculous levels of late.

President unsalted the best, block

Where did anyone say how much butter they used and surely you must know that eeking out a block over a few months isn't a typical usage pattern. We probably use 2-3 blocks a month, on toast, sandwiches, for cooking eg frying omelettes and in baking.

What surprises me about all this is that apparently supermarkets are now reducing or even giving away pallets of Lurpak because so many people have stopped buying it. But this only appears to have come up in the last few days, most people will be completely unaware of it, and Lurpak has a few weeks date on it so it's not like people have all suddenly stopped buying a short lived product.

If you want to avoid the additive just buy organic. If you want adupe for lurpack spreadable, norpak from aldi has identical ingredients. I found listening to Inside Science on radio 4 quite reassuring. Inside science

You’re the outlier. Butter in sandwiches is perfectly normal.

To blow your mind I used 3 blocks this week making a birthday cake

I’m looking for a butter which is Bovaer free, Lurpak is on the shit list now….

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I use Nordpak. Does anyone know if this is affected please?

All butter is Bovaer free.
It's scaremongering folk who are suggesting otherwise.

No.
No butters will contain Bovaer.
It's scaremongering to suggest otherwise.

Is Lurpak cheaper now so I can stock up

M and s have a beautiful butter that has salt crystals in, it's beautiful (of salty butter is your thing.) we tend to only get it during December/christmas so it's a treat as getting to an m and s foodhall is a real pain in the bum.

This thread.

I'm hoping for that too.
