Butter or Spreadable Butter
Comments

President spreadable doesn’t taste like butter tho. We have just finished a tub and won’t be going back for more.2

Sorry. I have given you the wrong name
The one we have now is MnS Softer Butter
Ingredients: Butter(milk), Salt (1.8%)
It says it has been churned under carefully controlled conditions.
The President one can be elusive but most often tracked down in Sainsbury's
I hate the ones with oil. They make toast soggy.
ETA - I think perhaps President tastes different because it's either unsalted or slightly salted ( I forget which). I like it but DH prefers Marks

Hi Nels, we use The Butter Works softer butter and keep it in a pottery butter dish. There is no heating in the kitchen but it was still soft enough to spread this morning.3

M & S softer butter (not spreadable) is made from milk from cows on a special diet. It isn't quite as soft as the spreadable as those made with oil but softer than block butter.
Ingredients
Butter (Milk), Salt (1.8%), Minimum 80% Milk Fat4 -
You can get plug in heated butter dishes. A bit extravagant, at nearly fifty pounds, but possibly worth it if it stops a daily irritation. I have seen much cheaper battery operated versions so do look around first.

Draw the business end across the top of the block of butter and you get a thin curl of butter which is much easier to spread.
If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)3 -
This is the m&s butter.

We're using the M & S Softer Butter atm too. I take it out of the fridge about half an hour before using it though, if I remember.
I find Anchor Spreadable tastes exactly like the Anchor block butter. It does to me at any rate2 -
Butter! (A1D! Salted)
Large Butter Knife!
Crumpet, toasted!
Add Marmite to taste.
Hope that settles it!
I work from home so my cat can be fed on demand!1 -

I will definitely be trying the M+S softer butter and I have a stainless steel butter dish on order
