Oooh, one of the most reputable butters of France! Artisanal butter from an Origine Protégée and everything! Founded in 1891, Echiré has been at the top of its game for over 100 years now. According to their website, their special oak barrels impart upon their butter a special flavour and texture that renders it world-renowned. Their website is also a treasure trove of fun facts: Apparently it takes 2 hours and 30 mins to churn their butter! No wonder the price points are wha

We finally found Italian butter in Dubai! This is one we recognise from our travels in Italy and we know we liked it in-country but does it hold up internationally? "Antica cremeria" means the old-fashioned dairy. Based in Reggio Emilia, Antica Cremeria falls under Montanari & Gruzza, who produce an impressive array of butters that are, sadly as of yet, not available to the international market.

A little bite of Danish butter for a hungry, international market. We were very excited to find Danish butter in Dubai - to date, the only Danish butter we've had the pleasure to experience! You can find our review for its salted counterpart here but naturally, we thought we'd finally get around to releasing our unsalted review... two years later. Better late than never, eh?

Though it lags in its market share in comparison to its competitive juggernaut, Lurpak, Emborg certain deserves a place at the table. We hadn't heard of Emborg before we started scouting out different

What a delight it was to see another region of the UK represented on our shelves! We were particularly excited to see that this butter came with a UK Great Taste award. Did we concur? Read on, dear fellow butter enthusiast... Oh my word. We won't waste your time by wittering on and taking up blog space. This butter stands out, even months later, as a 'treat' butter. This is one we get out when we want to show off. Fully deserving of its Great Taste 2019 Award, Graham's produc

Anchor UK rounds out our Anchor butter reviews! Produced in Wiltshire by Arla Foods, its parent company is still the New Zealand Anchor we know and love, but with a beautiful British product that's quite different from its Kiwi counterpart. According to Wikipedia, Anchor butter in the UK used to be imported from New Zealand until 2012, when Arla took over the license and started production for the local market. The results are a single company with several very different prod
