Can I have some spreadable butter recommendations

The fiance likes Flora, so that's what we get. We won't be buying it anymore. Used to normally use butter left out (before we were together) but would love to know if there's any good spreadable ones (doesn't have to be pure butter).

Real actual butter is the only way. You just need a small lidded dish to keep a sensible amount in.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 12/10/2019 22:51

Lurpak.

Get yourself the Lakeland insulated butter dish and some real butter!

( i like flora buttery) but normally buy I can't believe its not butter as its normally on offer at my ASDA.

Shessobrave · 12/10/2019 22:54

ALDI Norpak softest is by far the easiest to spread, nicest and cheapest!

Flora is Not Butter. Nothing is butter, but butter in a butter dish and that’s the only spreadable butter I will consider. I am a butter racist. I have converted several housemates along the way :) I like President but I’m not made of money so use Morrisons own.

Tip for too cold butter - run knife gently across top of butter to make butter curls, then allow to melt before spreading. Also sanction evil butter in the fridge saboteur. It doesn’t go off. Well it will go rancid but butter is never around long enough for that to happen.

Ffs. Facist not racist.

I'm dairy free at the moment (baby has cmpa) but I like norpak for affordability and president if I am being fancy (on malted brown seeded bread from a specific bakery in Surrey, with smoked salmon).

Fwiw at the moment I have vitalite but I like the idea of real butter in future due to plastic waste.

BarbaraofSeville · 12/10/2019 23:00

Also, the Mr keeps putting it back in the fridge

LTB.

We have real butter in a butter dish. Some brands are softer than others so I prod them all carefully in the supermarket and pick what feels softest. Kerrgold is good and Asda does a wensleydale brand that's also good but I think that's regional so if you're not in Yorkshire you're out of luck.

Get yourself the Lakeland insulated butter dish and some real butter!

This x a million.

If you like Lurpak spreadable, look at the ingredients on Aldi's Norpak.

They are identical but Norpak is half the price.

Blurby · 12/10/2019 23:03

Norpak by Aldi - delicious, easy to spread and is reasonably priced.

quincejamplease · 12/10/2019 23:15

This?

It's a little bit... ghastly.

EnglishRose13 · 12/10/2019 23:17

Norpak. I don't usually care for butter but I absolutely love it

CarolDanvers · 12/10/2019 23:20

Country Life Spreadable is our butter of choice.

justanothernomaj · 12/10/2019 23:20

Yes, it looks ghastly but it keeps butter at the perfect degree of spreadablenss. I don’t look at it very much, I just worship it when making a sandwich. Grin

PatricksRum · 12/10/2019 23:20

Lurpak all the way.

Linzbe · 12/10/2019 23:21

Countrylife. Spreadable straight from the fridge!!

Tweetingmagpie · 12/10/2019 23:22

Only real butter here, I can’t remember the name but I buy a french one in a blue packet, it’s a fancy one and it’s lovely and salty.

Mollypolly2610 · 12/10/2019 23:25

I used spreadable Lurpak overseas (all I could get). Since coming home I’ve tried various supermarket spreadables but the smell gives me the boak! Is it only me? I am going back to real butter.

TheSmallAssassin · 12/10/2019 23:30

Just real butter (Yeo Valley here) in a glass butter dish, keep it somewhere cool in the summer, 10 seconds or so on medium low in the microwave in the winter.

DontCallMeShitley · 12/10/2019 23:39

President spreadable is the best, then Lurpack.
Check the ingredients for vegetable oils which are usually palm oil in some of the cheaper ones.

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 12/10/2019 23:42

Anchor spreadable for us!
