Can I have some spreadable butter recommendations

[thisenglishlife]

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).

@Shessobrave Sorry, no, its definitely not amazing, you obviously haven't tried many other brands, made from grass-fed cows. Danish cows are mainly kept indoors all or most of the year round and fed concentrates. It's grass and other herbage that develops the flavour in the milk and therefor butter. Try www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/isigny-sainte-mere-unpasteurised-salted-butter-250g or even Kerrygold to taste what butter is meant to be like. As for the spreadable shit, that isn't even butter, it's barely food.

Thinking Lurpak is the best is also down to a lack of imagination, IMO.

Proper butter

Proper lidded butter dish in ceramic will keep it at a fairly constant temp. And tbh if it does go soft because you're cooking does it really matter?! - it will soon harden slightly when the kitchen cools.

If the Mr is a fully functional human, using words in the language he speaks to let him know that he does not put said butter in the fridge should work. If not, replace non-functional-human Mr with a real one, as indulgent titters along lines of 'ohhh what are Men like?' rarely solve the problem.

Kerrygold is the best. The likes of margarine haven't darkened the door of this house since DH had to prepare sandwiches for their table tennis teams (the rule was for one player each week to prepare stuff for the rest) so it had to quick, spreadable and cheaper.

Lurpak in a butter dish.

Surely lactic butter and sweet cream butter are going to taste different and it’s about what you’re used to. Lactic butter like Lurpak has traditionally been more popular in the north of England and sweet cream butter like Anchor or Kerrygold in the south.

I have just bought a Le Creuset butter dish from TK Maxx

Then I went to Morrisons to buy some President butter but they only had unsalted . So I bought some Kerrygold. I then found the President spreadable which isn't with the other spreadable butters.

I’ve also just bought a Le Creuset butter dish, from Home Sense (which I think is the same company as tkmaxx?)

Feeling very grown up.

I wonder if there will be run on butter dishes now

@Wombleish that’s the french butter i was on about, it’s lovely!

Lurpak gets my vote but mirror what other posters say, real butter (the unspreadable kind) is the ultimate of butters I’m just too lazy to wait for it to soften.

If I can't get to Sainsburys to pick up President spreadable, I buy a good block butter. But it still doesn't taste as good as the President!

We buy lurpak but if we are feeling poor ( this week as I've just spent a fortune on clothes for ds) we will buy ankor

Aldi Norpak is a good firm spread with lots of flavour whereas Lurpak which it imitates lacks taste. Just tried Lidl Dairy Manor which seems oily, flavourless and is died vivid yellow. We’ll stick to Norpak or real butter

Any normal brand of butter . Cut it off as required into a butter dish . Keep butter dish on the worktop / larder / table .

IRISH butter is the best btw . You want milk from grass fed cows to make really good butter . Abernethy butter is excellent if you can find it .

Why are people in the U.K. and Ireland buying butter from Denmark ? Support your local farmers.

Always real butter, all the time. The best is Morrisons finest with sea salt but Langley Farm is v good too.

Real butter in a butter dish kept at room temperature!

Just realised this is old. Why has it come back up to active threads? None of you are going to be popping out to buy butter dishes now.
