Why is butter so expensive?

[hc4361]

Fresh milk is very cheap in real terms, I pay £1.74 for 6 pints (29p a pint).

So why is butter at its most expensive?

The spreadable taste different mike. Tried it. Give me the real thing.

I agree micmak. Much prefer the real thing but keep in a tub of the other just in case I want a sandwich in a hurry and haven't got the time to let the butter soften.

Micmak......I tried it once in the micro...thought it was going to blow up. Must have had it on too high a heat.

Buy Country life butter, it's British!

[e-male]

@theprof... anchor butter is no longer imported from New Zealand which is why it doesn't have a "grass-fed" label. It is nasty UK milk, made from silage and grain fed animals. It is NOT suitable for a healthy diet as the fat ratios are terrible! If you look at it you can tell it's poor quality now, it isn't a lovely yellow colour - which would normally mean you are getting decent nutrition. Inflamey* omega 6 is not yum lol.

*not a word, but it sounds cool.
