Butter alternatives to lower cholesterol?

DP has had a blood test which shows his cholesterol level is just getting higher (and the LDL is not good) so we are looking at improving our diet.

He really loves butter, so I buy Kerrygold as a grass fed butter but I think we now have to look at alternatives - is there a good, healthy alternative spread as I have avoided margarine for years? I see that Heartuk.org .Uk recommend Flora Proactiv but are there others we should consider?

I’d rather cut the cholesterol in other ways than use butter alternatives….have you had a look at the ingredient lists?

My cholesterol is slightly raised, so I just eat and sandwich without the butter. I have a tiny bit in baked potatoes, but that isn't frequent. If I make a crumble, for example, I use ground almonds instead.

Have just bought an Olive one from Waitrose to try, has good reviews but not tasted it yet!
