How is it possible to sell Thai brands "Real Creamery butter" containing "nature identical flavouring" and why would it be required as an additive?

 

Not worth bothering with
"Thai butter"
The only one worth buying and readily available is
"Anchor butter" import from New Zealand.

Well Anchor is OK but I prefer Lurpac.   Sold at TOPS and Villa.  Some branches of Tesco Lotus Extra also sell it

Yep as a Kiwi I can support that...………….mostly

 

As I have become hooked on the Elle & Vire French unsalted butter and can't wean myself off it!!!

you can get aussie butter at macro as well, really depends on your individual tastes

 

Local dairy butter 64bht/500gm at YoK (salted or unsalted).

I never buy anything else.

Do you have a picture/photo of the "yok" butter ?

can't say I've ever seen it down here in deepest darkest Chonburi...but maybe I saw it but didn't know.

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.

Ok I see on the website "Allowrie" brand, tried that ...more like margarine than butter.[emoji30]

I liked Emborg too but its now more expensive than Anchor at my local Makro.

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,

Surely the clue is on the label?

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.

Yes the Elle & Vire container states "Fabrique en Normandie" but haven't looked at the others yet.

You can tell its "imported"  because it has a sticker saying it was imported.
