    Well in that case we are wasting our time with any further suggestions

    we have suggested butter dishes, we have suggested only small amounts of butter in the dish, we have suggested warming butter knives and butters mixed with oils

    Now you tell us you live in a hot house where all butter will melt

    Yes, as explained in my first post, I want spreadable from the fridge (as close to) Butter as possible.

    It ain't gonna happen, not with real pure butter anyway.
    Go and have some margarine!
    I bet you like your icecream warm!

    You could try a butterbell/crock. Fill the bowl part with butter and that goes into the other part that you have cold water in. Keeps the butter fresh and much more spreadable than straight from the fridge.
    Change the water regularly to keep it fresh.
    I find it works better than a standard butter dish. I know I haven't described it very well! But Amazon sells them from between £15-£25 and you'll get the picture better than my description I think :)

    Just warn any guests as it's easy to think you pick the the butter bell up and tip it over ..... and they end up wet!

    I like my house very warm, hence why I can't leave butter out.

    The butter dish I showed you will keep your butter from melting even in a warm house.

    You're asking the impossible if you want real butter but are unprepared to keep it in a suitable dish. As others have said, stick to margarine if you want it spreadable from the fridge. Even the butter substitutes don't spread easily straight from the fridge.

    I know 100% real butter doesn't spread.
    I want to know if anyone knows the best dairy spread, with the highest % of pure butter.
    Whenever I'm shopping I can never read the tiny ingredients listing.

    I wondered if anyone had found the best substitute.

    No, like I like my butter (dairy spread) cold from the fridge, I like my ice cream cold & hard from the freezer.
  • Kerrygold softer butter is head and Shoulders above anything else on the market.It doesn't contain added oil( so no idea how they manage to get it to spread straight from the fridge) just pure butter. Yes,it is expensive but Kerrygold also do a spreadable with oil for half the price which is also pretty decent.

    M&S do one too, I've had them both, they aren't really very spreadable.

    The other kerrygold isn't bad.

    Butter is Butter.

    Anything else is Margerine.

    ( That's how I feel about il )
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
