It says on 100 % Plant Based.

Ingredients are

Plant Oils (Sustainable Palm,Sunflower,Rapeseed)

Filtered Water
Sea Salt(1.7%
Fava Bean Preparations
Plant Based Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin)
Natural Flavourings


It says Rich and Creamy Alternative to Dairy Butter.


I won't be using it at all.

Just wonder if People have heard or seen this in any shops/Supermarkets.

No Sue...but it sounds pretty bland :-0 :-0

I like butter too much to try alternatives, but by googling I have found that Morrisons, Tesco and Asda sell Flora Plant Butter (they say it's new) and it says you can use it for everything you would use butter for - including cooking, baking, frying and spreading.

I like butter too, Kathleen, but I have never bought plant butter.

I expect that any kind of olive spread is a plant spread but it doesn't have that butter taste. I wonder whether plant butter as it is sold by that name really has a butter taste to it? It would be interesting to hear.

Get some on your next order Joy...then you can let me know :-D :-D :-D

Gerraway wiv yer, Ann. I am not the experimenter in the family. :-D

Should they call it butter when it is not.

I'd give it a try.
I've bought several non-dairy spreads, when my daughter lived at home. Some were better than others.
The new one would be OK in crumbles or other cooking, if it didn't suit for spreading on bread.

Sue - your first post - why don't you use it and let us all know whether or not it tastes like real butter?

It's margarine isn't it?

No it;s Butter.

Sorry won't be trying it as only like Irish Butter.

It's margarine.

My cousins would not eat marmalade so their mother took the jar round to Granny's where they enjoyed orange jam sandwiches.

I bet plant butter costs more than other Flora margarine. It probably comes out of the same vat.

I havc been using Flora Bertolli butter for years, olive oil + butter so no good for vegans. It is perfect on toast and spreads ok right out of the fridge. It is also ok for fry-ups and is calorie kind.

OH has an unswerving loyalty to French Pres. unsalted for baking but uses pure olive oil for cooking inc frying. She dislikes anything with margerine / palm oil in it

Kerrygold is awful stuff.

Well, snap there, Rollo!

Not with you but with your OH. President salted is my butter of choice. If I can't get it I buy Lurpak. :-D

One downer at the moment is that Vegemite seems to have disappeared from our supermarkets. I keep trying.
