I have been using the Co-op own brand full salt butter as it has plenty of taste but i would not use it all the time.

Dairy free would be a spread not a butter.
Sainsburys basics is nice so is Tescos slightly salted. Not keen on lurpak it's a little too salty for me. Anchor is OK it s one I was brought up on but the price compared to the Tesco and sainsburys is extortionate. Lurpak Salty? i found it bland. |

The matter of salting is very specific imo.
It doesn't take much to make it either too salty or too lacking. Welsh butter is traditionally very salty (remember Shirgâr http://moblog.net/media/r/a/s/rassilon7/shirgar.jpg ) which I find too much. I know what you mean about the salting... I use the unsalted butter for sauces and ...well I want to say baking.... but I'm not a baker.... The unsalted butter I buy is used in sauces mainly. I love my lurpak (when it's in the fridge and affordable for me). Lurpak is a lovely thing I get to enjoy now and then |

Whatever's saltiest. Currently using some sort of Guernsey butter (2% salt, which seems to be the highest salt content that's easily found).

I generally just buy Asda's unsalted butter. I've tried brand names in the past and I can't really taste any difference.

My grandmother would only buy kerrygold, takes me back to my childhood if I have that.
Usually now I have spread rather than butter. |

I tried the new Flora Gold today. It tastes a lot better than other products they made but it leaves a waxy feeling in the mouth and the taste gets a lot more bitter after 20 mins even a nice cup of tea didn't remove the wax feeling.

I like goat's milk butter. Or sainsbury's slightly salted organic butter.

I used to love going to my grandma's every Saturday, and having toast done on a open fire with lashings of lurpak butter, since my hubby came on the scene I've became a Anchor girl...

I never knew Lurpak was so popular. I only tasted it for the first time a couple of years ago.
I find it a bit lacking in taste personally. |

I'm with gemma-the-husky. £1 unsalted 250g from Asda but now I've discovered Heron also sell unsalted for £1. Bought a pack of Countrylife there yesterday and previously a small english dairy unsalted butter that was delicious. Heron sell 250g packs of Lurpak for £1 as well but it's not in stock all the time. I also find Lurpak lacking in taste and don't buy it. Heron's really cheap on all dairy products.

Aldi unsalted is great for cooking / baking and only 95p. For spreading I think Lurpak is unbeatable, nice and creamy, not too salty and a nice subtle flavour that doesn't overpower everything else

I only use butter for making buttercream. Lurpak salted is my favourite.
