Anchor New Zealand Butter

Advantages: very nice good butter
Disadvantages: slightly more expensive

...reason for binning the cows, Anchor Butter, is, and probably always will be, one of the country’s leading brands of butter. Interestingly, over the years the advertising methodology has remained the same for this product – Anchor Cows eat grass all year round to give the butter a better taste. At this point I cannot help but think of that tongue twister that I’m sure many of us were subjected to as children, or perhaps still are ...
...for sure, Betty didn’t buy Anchor butter as the first bit of butter that she bought, because had she done so she would have had no need to buy the second bit of butter – I have never tasted bitter butter from Anchor. Anchor butter is slightly salted and tastes delicious spread on hot toast. Being salted it is not suitable for recipes which demand unsalted butter and, as such, I’m sure that it is shunned by our European counterparts. ... Read review

Advantages: Free range
Disadvantages: Bit more expensive than supermarket own brand.

...offer pack of 500g of Anchor Butter with a 250g Anchor Butter and Olive Oil Spread for £1.99, so I gave it a try. The spread I will tell you about in another opinion, with the butter we all noticed that it was much creamier than my usual Asda Smartpice brand. I just put some cubes of it onto some jacket potatoes for supper, and my son who is 10 and my husband both commented on how much 'nicer' the butter was. Now many of you will be familiar with ...
...over from heart disease. Anchor is a salted butter 2%, traditional in Britain, unsalted butter being more popular on the continent. Many recipe books recommend that you don't use salted butter in cooking, but I find that it gives just as good results in baking, sauces, sweet and savoury dishes, and you can also shallow fry with it, if you take great care. I haven't tried using butter for anything else, except to remove a tight ring from a swollen ... Read review

...Asia and Latin America, Anchor emphasise that New Zealand dairy cows graze on clean,fresh grass and their products are completely free of Genetically Modified (GM) products. Certainly Anchor New Zealand butter is a tasty,creamy,product but with a more yellowish colour than,say,the likes of Danish Lurpak,my all time favourite. If I cannot get Lurpak then I usually opt for Anchor,which comes in 250 gr and 500 gr packets. Apparently it takes 11 litres ... Read review

Advantages: Smooth, creamy taste - no hydrogenated fats either.
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than other brands.

...or other additives. Anchor butter is fantastic spread on toast. It melts fairly quickly (but not too quickly like margarine), so it is possible to spread it over your hot piece of toast without using too much of it. The taste is sublime, like the butter you used to get as a little kid (the stuff that was freshly churned by Aunt Molly or whomever) - it has a wonderfully blended, fresh smooth creamy taste - there are no sharp chemically flavours here. ...
...to use a lot of Anchor butter to get the fantastic flavour, and eaten in moderation it has to be better than eating margarine (with it's hydrogenated oils & fats, and fake taste). I puchased Anchor butter (500g) at Tesco for £1.39 (I think it was on special). It comes in a block, wrapped in yellow paper, with the Anchor brand clearly visible. You can also purchase Anchor Spreadable, and also a half/half type mixture if you wish. They are a little ... Read review

Advantages: Best tasting
Disadvantages: A bit pricy

...that you should remember about Anchor Butter is a few years ago it ran a series of adverts with singing cows, you must remember this because it was annoying, as most adverts are. Anchor butter is without a doubt the most creamy of all the butters that are available, also one distinguishing thing with Anchor is that it is a deeper yellow than all of the others which shows that it is creamier. The butter is from New Zealand, I think and according ...
...and it has a red anchor and green text and that is about it on the packet. It comes in 1/2lb and 1lb packs which are 250g and 500g for us young ones. As with all butters you cannot spread from the fridge, unless you buy Anchor spreadable butter. I find that as Anchor is the best tasting it also runs out quickly, I wonder why that is :). It also tastes better if it is spread on a thick slice of fresh bread with lemon curd. Also as with butter it ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to Spread Nice Flavour Healthy
Disadvantages: Not Many

...Anchor butter from New Zealand has long been a big favourite with British housewives and,I should add,this reviewer as well. New Zealand is one of the least polluted coiuntries on the planet and dairy cows also have fine pasture to graze on. No wonder dairy products from the "land of the Kiwis" are held in such high esteem. Now the Anchor butter people have come up with Anchor Spreadable in nice containers. Tubs are available in 250 gr and 500 gr sizes and the retail price is around 95 pence and Stg 1.70 pounds respectively. So the new product is really not that expensivefor something that is so convenient.Invest in a tub of Anchor Spreadable and what will you get ? What you will get is a mighty fine product. The butter,just like normal Anchor,has a delightful flavour and is ideal for spreading on sandwiches,on croissants... Read review
