Proper Butter!
Bought this for the first time in a long time recently... It's like a return to proper butter. Ok, it is quite salty, but the term "salted butter" did kind of warn me that may be a possibility; salt makes it last longer anyway so thats not a bad thing.
Not the Anchor I remember
Not the Anchor butter of old. Best back when it was New Zealand butter but lately it has just become bland. Tesco creamery butter is as good or better and cheaper. Used to insist on it but not worth paying the premium for any more.
No longer grass fed...
The taste is OK, not as good as it used to be and a bit of research showed that Anchor has quietly dropped producing butter from grass fed cows, which used to be it's selling point - grass fed being healthier for us and for the dairy cattle too. Kerrygold is still grass fed though and that is reflected in the taste.
Yummy!
Yummy!! The best butter ever!!
no better or worse than others

First time I've had a problem with Anchor butter !
This has always been my favourite butter and have never had a problem with it before. However the block delivered today ( date best before 23 June) is so salty that it is unpalatable. I would say it contains many times more salt than usual and all you can taste is the salt, its blocking the butter flavour completely. I'm still tasting salt 4 hours later.!!! Tescos and so hopefully Arla foods alerted as it wont just have affected one block.
Best taste
