    I don't believe it! This thread has been up for over two hours, and no one has yet pointed out that Anchor spreadable is not butter. :)

    (It's a spread made from a mixture of butter and vegetable oil, of course.)

    They were probably trying to work out why the 250g pack is 10p more than the 500g pack :D

    Kerrygold has a softer butter which they claim is butter and supposedly the spreadability is a result of using softer milkfat from summer months, cooling and crystallising it https://www.kerrygold.co.uk

    At £1:60 a pop:mad::mad::eek::eek::eek: one might as well buy the following:
    Organic butter, French unsalted butter, butter with seasalt etc unless there is a butter that has all the taste but a considerably lower price.

    Riverford organic butter is nice. I buy butter in 4x to freeze and put salted butter in butter dish as it softens nicely there.

    Why on earth would I want to pay £1.60 for a hydrogenated spread when I can buy REAL butter for the same price or less ;)
