    I looked at the website, read the blurb and thought how do they get summer milk in winter ?

    President butter is bought in bulk on offer, kept in freezer, defrosted in fridge and then kept in butter dish on a kitchen counter. OH takes Lurpak organic spreadable to work to keep in fridge there.

    Interesting reading!

    .

    I like Anchor spreadable but only buy on offer and know its not 100% butter, but I thought all spreadables were the same?

    Very interesting, no M&S & Kerrygold softer are 100% real butter, they are different to the other spreadables.

    I know that M&S do a spreadable butter and it's because they feed the cows rapeseed...not even churning.

    Been thinking about this and wondering whether the cow pats are softer too ewww

    Well according to the link above - it may be better for you butter.

    Ps cow pats are pretty soft anyway :-)

    President is my absolute fave, but at £1.70 a pack in Sainsbury's it's out of my budget now, I haven't seen it on offer for ages, is there any around at the moment?

    Americans on low carb forums go nutz for Kerrygold because it's "grass-pastured" as if it were gourmet :D
