I haven't read the full thread but I'd like to know how a product can be both "New" and "Original"! It doesn't make sense.

We thought it was vile, and wont buy it again. 🙁

LateKate · 11/06/2019 21:10

Thanks for selecting us to try the new Flora Original

Overall, how satisfied were you and your family with new Flora Original?

My kids really liked it and my husband felt it tasted fine but I didn't love it. I felt it was lacking the creamier taste of my normal butter and reminded me of the more anaemic looking spread we end up with when we go on holiday to France that I always mean to not buy!

Is Flora a brand you can trust?

I think so, it's long established and doesn't try and pretend to be something it's not.

Is Flora a brand that caters to all your family’s needs?

Yes I like the fact that the products are suitable for spreading and baking.

What did you like or dislike about new Flora Original? What did your family like or dislike?

I wasn't overly enamoured with the taste but the kids really liked it and it would perhaps offer a healthier option for them going forward

Did you like the taste of New Flora Original? How did your family like the taste of New Flora Original?

Again personally I didn't (although I didn't hate it) everyone else enjoyed it.

Would you choose New Flora Original for you or your family over other margarine and/or butter brands? Please explain why or why not

Probably not for myself but I would look at the health benefits for the kids and consider switching.

Would you recommend Flora Original to friends or family? Please explain why or why not.

If it came up in conversation I would mention it went down really well with the children but wouldn't see myself going down the route of outwardly recommending it because I didn't love the taste.

Overall, how satisfied were you and your family with new Flora Original?

It got eaten, so that’s a good sign! My husband is particularly picky, so I’d say we were satisfied.

Did you like the taste of New Flora Original? How did your family like the taste of New Flora Original?

We were all very happy with the taste. My husband was only disappointed when he had it on fresh bread, it didn’t quite work for a classic “bread and butter” taste.

Would you choose New Flora Original for you or your family over other margarine and/or butter brands? Please explain why or why not

I’d probably choose it over other margarines/spreads but it just hasn’t quite got the same taste as butter for certain meals.

Would you recommend Flora Original to friends or family? Please explain why or why not.

For those looking to replace the spread/butter to something healthier yes I would recommend it.
