grahamg Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 How is it possible to sell Thai brands "Real Creamery butter" containing "nature identical flavouring" and why would it be required as an additive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johng Posted August 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not worth bothering with "Thai butter" The only one worth buying and readily available is "Anchor butter" import from New Zealand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Anchor is OK but I prefer Lurpac. Sold at TOPS and Villa. Some branches of Tesco Lotus Extra also sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s a good one. I use that too. For all that just wants a regular and ordinary butter, Emborg in Makro is also perfectly ok. As for what the OP is going on about, that´s like far too complicated to even begin sorting out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Ok I see on the website "Allowrie" brand, tried that ...more like margarine than butter.[emoji30] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy Orchid butter also at Yok,165 THB a Kg, just cut it up in usable blocks and keep in in the freezer, the same butter, in 200 gram foil packets is up to 119 THB,so buying in Kg. block is a big saving, regards worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President & Elle & Vire are French, Emborg and Lurpak is Danish. Kerrygold is Irish, Oldenburger is German and most well known by Thais is the Anchor brand sold thru Fonterra which is New Zealand. Orchid, Allowrie are both Thai products, what they contain in addition to pure dairy butter I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Elle & Vire container states "Fabrique en Normandie" but haven't looked at the others yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 You can tell its "imported" because it has a sticker saying it was imported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
