  • But all butter is 'grass pastured' because it's the only way to make butter so a marketing wheeze.
    But having said that Kerrygold might be worth a look in.

    There is no need to buy a specific butter simply because it spreads more easily at low temperatures.

    However, the solution isn't cheap. It's this: http://www.alfille.co.uk/index.php

    I've had one for two years and it works quite well.

    That would go straight in my useless gadget cupboard along with the rest of the stuff my mother insists I need. :(

    Surprisingly, it works well. Far more useful than all the usual electrical and kitchen gadgetry junk one accumulates.

    Normal Kerrygold is also softer than most butters, so will spread easier, if kept at room temperature - there really is no need to keep it in the fridge - it doesn't go off if kept out for a week or two. The only consession I make is that in the summer I will only get half a pack out at a time.

    Its cheaper than the one in the plastic tub and can often be found on offer as low as £1 per 250g block - it is currently this price in Morrisons
