Abandoned it? Odd words to use for a current deal still available across all Aldi stores. What would you like me to do - make pointless posts every few minutes to remind people that it's still live? :sunglasses:

Not in my lidl.

Thanks for the Ocado link:

Truly Irish Creamery Butter 454g for £1.44 - Half Price when you order by 27/1/2016. Offer subject to availability. Maximum 20 promotional items per customer.

Actually more expensive than this one, though.

As do Aldi, too.

Nope - no change. And given that butter can only ever contain milk (cream) and salt, any standard British butter is going to be very similar. This and Country Life both show 'Minimum 80% butterfat' on the label, and both are made by the same producer, with the same ingredients, by the same production method.

Any perceived difference is likely to be psychological - rather like the perceived difference between Nurofen and unbranded Ibuprofen. :smiley:

The "solidity" of butter varies according to when it was made. Cow's eating fresh spring grass= higher level of unsaturated fats in the milk=softer butter. Winter feed =more saturated fats= firmer butter. This is natural and can only be corrected so far in the buttermaking process(I have operated a 5 tonne per hour buttermaker by the way!)

Yep kerrygold seems to be the best in terms of how much grass the cows eat (100% grass fed for most of the year I think), which is healthier (vitamins and higher omega 3 ratio) and tastes nicer. Organic is a minimum of 60%.

Either 85p or 89p can't quite remember.
