Premium pure butter and cheese. The original Australian brand. Number 1 brand for 7 consecutive years, originated in Australia since 1869 Allowrie has been making tasty and quality Dairy products from real cow's milk. KCG’s founders, very impressed with Allowrie' s quality & taste, started importing Allowrie to Thailand since 1970.

ALLOWRIE Salted Butter 1 Box (8 g x 100 cups)

Australian made cost 6 AUD in Australia and just 4.5 AUD in London

My mate Mick got his Marmite confiscated at Swampy, on the way in, a few years back.

They probably confused it with Bovril, which is meat-based.

Is this not normal in every country? Are there any place where local food is more expensive than foreign imported stuff? Of course the mark-up may vary by country.

It is described as a Butter Blend. Their version of butter won't have palm oil, but more butter oil. I still wouldn't.

 

Can you see Made In Australia anywhere, for @Cardano😊
