To really want a tub of Lurpack

[waheymouth]

All this talk of Lurpack and I have never had it is making me want to try it now.

What one is best normal, spreadable light or unsalted?

It's £4 for 500g tub in Tesco and Sainsburys so going to treat myself

Kerrygold for life

@girlfriend44 we were the same until last week - trialled Aldi's Norpak - exactly the same and half the price. I'm a convert (ahtough President butter is still my holy grail).

All spreadable are horrible.

Until recently we always used Lurpak lightly salted block butter for toast etc (the blue one) and the unsalted one (red one) for cakes. These are proper butters. But the price hikes have felt like a bit of a piss take so I've recently swapped to either morrisons or tescos own brand salted butter, depending which shop I'm in, and I've barely noticed the difference.

Well I made a mistake. Ended up in Lidl and their real Lurpack was expensive.

I could see a lookalike version so got that for £2.15. Got home and realised it's Danpack Spreadable- I had intended to avoid the spreadable version as posts on here influenced me against it.

Had it on toast this morning. It was ok but nothing spectacular.

Now I'll have to use that and try again.

Irish butter all the way here!
We love Kerrygold. I cut slices off to put in the butter dish & keep the rest in the fridge to keep it fresh.

I sometimes buy the M&S spreadable real butter in the tub & we like that too but that's rare & we pretty much always have a block or two of real Irish butter in the fridge

Spreadable butter is horrible, can’t stand the stuff. Real butter all the way (and own brand is just as good as Lurpak/anchor!).

I'm in NZ and we have spreadable butter which is real butter. It's not cheap though.

I just don’t get the lurpak love. It isn’t even butter but has always cost more than butter. I used to buy Norpak from Aldi at half the price with no real taste difference. But now buy Greenvale Valley Spreadable 500g for £1.99 which I now prefer as it is 50% butter where as norpak is 40%.
I have also gone back to roasting in lard rather than oil at 39p for 250g and using Greenvale Perfect For Cakes 500g at 85p for baking. Not that i am doing a lot of baking at the moment as I am trying to only cook meals in my air fryer rather than turn the oven on. I cooked my son a birthday cake last month. I tray bake and 2 round sandwich tins cost £2.50 to cook in my oven as I monitored my smart meter during cooking.

I just don't get the 'don't get the lurpak love, it isn't even butter' followed by ' I use a spreadable with less butter than lurpak

HEAVEN.

only on MN I’ve seen this love for Lurpack, it’s usually not that popular and is always rated the worst in terms of taste not to mention pricer than most.

I much prefer Cornish butter or Beurre d’Isigny, M&S do good butter too,

But why is something that uses less milk to make cost more than butter which uses more? Surely the butter with it better ingredients should cost more or at least the same price?
I will admit I use very little butter as I don’t eat bread so only use in cooking but even so why is lurpak so expensive when there is nothing special about the ingredients?

It doesn't - for example at Tesco...

250g of lurpak butter is £2.50

500g of lurpak spread is £4.49 (without clubcard)

The butter is more expensive.

You have compared a branded spread with a supermarket butter. Of course the branded product costs more, that's standard across most retail products.

We use an olive oil spread.
Although, we're on a no bread-heavy carbs diet atm.
4k gs down in 2 weeks.😃

Tesco butter is £1.75 as they price match Aldi. Anchor and Kerrygold £2.25 as no price match. Lurpak butter is £2.50 and Lurpak spreadable £2.75 all for the same 250g size pack.

I don't like the lidl danpak but try the aldi norpak...

Ah I didn't realise they had a 250g spreadable

You can now get Lurpak on Klarna to make the payments more spreadable.

Agree with the poster about the Aldi proper butter. Go and buy the West Country butter in the blue wrapper with salt crystals in. It was £1.85 the other day. Have it on toast and appreciate how lovely it is! Keep it in a butter dish or just some Tupperware on the kitchen side. It's fine for at least a week unless it's boiling hot weather then I keep it in the fridge.

It's West Country butter or bust here.
