Butter-what's your favourite and how much is it?

[FlatteredRhubardFool]

Currently on KerryGold which is £1.90 and rarely on offer. I used to buy Tesco own label but since lockdown I haven't been shopping there. We go through a 250g every couple of days due to my dcs addiction to freshly baked bread toasted and buttered.
What's your favourite?
(I don't want to get into any discussion about butter v spreadable products just want to hear good butter recommendations really).

I like one with sea salt crystals. The Aldi one (black paper) and the Asda ones are nice

I'd like to find a way to give it up, but fear im addicted

@CakeRequired

Unhelpful, but I buy Tesco own brand. It's like what 80p? I do use quite a lot with sandwiches and baking too. Usually have to buy two packs a week and there's only two of us.

I wish butter was only 80p!!

Kerrygold is my favourite, Glenisk too.
I hate margarine or that stuff you get where proper butter is mixed with oils. Just icky. Tastes like you're spreading plastic on your bread. I can't imagine the palate of people who like margarine, it must look like a sanding sheet.

M&S salted butter, best one there is and not bad at £1.60

President one always taste a bit off to me!
Me too!

I like butter that is made with raw milk and unsalted.

Preferably raw sheep or goats milk.

Tastes divine

I have also made my own with fresh cream. Commercial butters from pasteurised milk taste a bit claggy once you get used to raw milk ones (same for cheeses)

I love Lurpak but Aldi’s rip-off version Nordpak is just as good. Lidl’s version Danepak is not however.

I don't use butter every day. I used to be vegan so it just doesn't occur to me most of the time. However, when I have fresh bread and butter or crushes potatoes with butter and dill it has to be Guernsey Butter from Waitrose, £2.10

Most others that I've tried have failed to live up to expectations. I am reluctant to try lots of different ones because I still have half a block of bloody Lurpak in the fridge from before Covid

For example, this raw butter is good

Lurpak. I can’t stand anything else. The last tub I bought was £2.75.

Aldi nordpak spreadable lighter. Utterly butterly tastes more like lard than butter to me.

We have something in my home coubtry called 'tea butter'. It's creamy, white and best enjoyed at about 0.5 cm thickness.

No butter in the shops in the UK like that. I got very close to a similar taste when I made butter from the cream off the top of raw milk I used to buy a few years ago but unfortunately the farm stopped selling the milk.

Anchor or Aldi in the black wrapper.

I buy 2 blocks per week for family of 4. My nan used to use 2 blocks a week and she lived alone.

Lurpak Lighter

Second to that Anchor

President - I prefer unsalted. Costs about 2 quid usually.

President spreadable (slightly salted) is the best.

Morrison's own salted one here unless they have others on a good offer, always a block never any of the so-called spreadable ones.

Our kitchen is really cold so it's usually solid but I've found sticking enough for what I need in a mug and no more than 10 seconds in the microwave is enough to soften it without melting it.

I'm not a huge fan of butter but one I do love is Rodda's, I think it might be a local brand? It's so creamy & salty, I actually gave some as part of a present one year, it's so good 😍 Expensive though at about £2.50 but I love the little lines in it like it's made with the traditional butter pats 😊

I have also made my own and that was delicious too 😋

Glenstal would be my favourite (but probably not available outside Ireland); after that, it’s automatically Kerrygold.

Président spreadable for me!

@TardisThroughTime

M&S softer butter

My favourite too.

Aldi West Country Butter in the black wrapper £1.59 www.aldi.co.uk/west-country-butter/p/013317290136100

For cooking I buy what's on offer or the Waitrose/Aldi basic one

Shirgar, a nice welsh salted butter, but as someone lese mentioned I 've just tried Flora block Plant butter on offer to club card holders for £1 in tesco, very nice

Oh buys a block of butter once in a while.
Gets thrown out after 6 weeks or so. Family of 5. No one eats butter. Or spread.
