Very sadly Waitrose have decided to join the Tesco practice of taking the independent Bridel brand off their shelves and replacing it with their own Waitrose brand. Shame on you Wairose!

Hi Sha-We bought all of the butter in London at both Waitrose and Tesco. I thought that the French butters and products were imported from France (and therefore not copied)? Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean

What an interesting test ! Where can I get the Goat’s unsalted Butter ??? (I’m in Dundee).
Since I’m there I’ve tried French food products and I think they are not well copied.
For the butter “President” it’s quite ok but, for example, the products as Goat cheese have not a “real” taste. I have seen a famous French brand of cheese at Tesco ( Coeur de Lion). First, I was so happy, but after reading the label I realised that the goat cheese had gelatin inside… I couldn’t believe that…

Hi Claire-I did want to include Lurpak but in the scramble to try as much butter as I could, we didn’t get any Lurpak or Lescure.

Hey Guys, here at LURPAK we also delight in the heavenly taste of butter on a crusty French baguette. Our butter products are made from cultured cream which gives it a luscious smooth flavour that is hard to resist. Some Lurpak staffers have been known to devour near tubs, which is made better by the fact that our spreadable range is free from artificial trans fatty acids which basically means that it is much better for you and your waistline 

I just thought you guys might be interested for when you conduct your next butter trial.

Bon Appétit

From the team at Lurpak.

Hi pea & pear-Hehe I wish I could’ve done it here but alas the range isn’t so good. I also wish I could’ve brought every single butter back with me

Hi SydneyGal-I know, I wish I could have brought them all back with me! We had really high hopes for the Italian butter but alas, the tastebuds didn’t love it.

Hi Maria-Hehe that’s very true! I was very fortunate to have such eager tasters-it makes the world of difference with taste tests!

Hi andreea-It’s really fun, I would definitely recommend it! I’m planning another one soon as I love doing them.

Hi grace-My pleasure

Hi Julie-Very true, I have heard that Australian butter is different from other butters. I would’ve loved to have baked with them but ran out of time while there Hehe the restraint was purely unintentional, I wanted to believe me!

Hi Y-Yes alas there was no home churned butter and I wasn’t in any state to churn some while on vacation

Hi Maria-It’s fun if your friends like food. Although I must admit I choose my testers carefully. There are some friends that I wouldn’t bother asking as I think they’d find it a chore You’re welcome!
