I’d have believed this if I never tried Kerry Gold.
Kerry Gold is way better than every other brand I’ve tried.
I actually prefer the Costco store brand grass-fed butter to Kerry Gold.
Their judges disagreed with you:
Kerrygold failed to impress our judges, scoring just three out of 10.
However, it’s important to note this is comparing *spreadable* butter, not regular butter. I’d be more interested in a comparison between different types & brands of normal butter.
I mean… Yeah. If you are looking at margerines and compare it to real butter, the real butter isn’t going to be the same.
But having had to live with margerine most of my life, real god damn butter is so, so much better. lol
I wish Aldi Nordpak compared to Lurpak, but it doesn’t come close in terms of spreadability and creaminess.
I mean, butter is just churned cream. You can’t really fuck that up. You could add more water to the mix, but that would create other issues with consistency, and buttery-ness.
Plus I think to be called butter it needs to have a certain amount of butterfat, I don’t know what it is and I can’t be arsed to open wiki to find out.
So I’m inclined to believe that to be the case

Thank you my sweet Prince, my slumber shall now be assured thanks to your steadfast research!
Yeah but this article is about spreadable butter, not normal decent god-fearing butter. So it’s already been fucked up by blending in vegetable oil along with whatever stabilsers and other shit they have to use to allow you to mix vegetable oil and butter in the first place.
Cultured vs uncultured makes all the difference
Just use real butter.
especially at this time of year, when you can just leave it out of the fridge and it’ll be perfectly spreadable.
When the price topped £9 at the height of the cost of living crisis, it became the centre of a media frenzy, with outraged shoppers sharing their disbelief and supermarkets putting security tags on tubs.
What media frenzy? (Ahh, the bliss of ignorance)
I buy Aldi spreadable butter, as well as their blocks of Welsh butter and pay about £3.50 for one of each… and can’t fault either one of them. If I bought the same stuff “branded” in any of the larger supermarkets, I’d be paying almost double that.
Likewise, I’m rather fond of the HP Fruity sauce… £2.50 a bottle or more… Supermarket branded variety… tastes the same, £1.10 a bottle.
I’ve switched from branded stuff to Aldi own brands a lot since the COL crisis a few years ago, that is still ongoing… Not noticed a single drop in quality. But even Aldi have hiked their prices a lot. Frozen beer battered haddock used to be £3.19, is now £4.79, fresh quality sausages used to be £1.79 (6 pack, not the paste filled 8 packs) for caramelised onion/pork/apple/lincolnshire/cumberland and are now £2.49.
My avg food bill for 2, each month used to be £200-220, including food, drink and cleaning supplies… it’s now £300-320, whilst cutting back on a lot of the luxury items, opting for cheaper things in some places or reducing the number of times we buy them… so steak one every 8 weeks instead of once a month. No fish and chips at home, only as a treat if we go out for a meal (not to a chippy as they’re all bad here).
Lurpak is the best by quite a stretch.
Yes
