Butter like Kerrygold in Thailand

[Bohemianfish]

Here in the states, I found Kerrygold (from Costco) to be a butter a lot of people, myself included, love to eat. I eat it daily for a keto-ish diet.

 

Is there a similar brand in Thailand? I assume it is imported from New Zealand?

 

And how much are butter prices for high quality grass-fed butter? Tolerable? How is domestic?

 

We try to be on the healthy side with food (organic as we can, food with fewer additives if any) and mostly cook at home - and its cheaper to do so.

 

My wife is Thai and we plan to move there eventually.

BigC and Tops sell it, likely other supermarkets too.

Kerrygold is Irish, surely?

Butter in New Zealand is expensive.  Close to 200Thb for 500gm.

Like all things here, the big retailers took advantage of the Covid supply hassles to ramp up the price of food amongst other things.

 

Electricity suppliers did the same blaming supply issues. WTF, what issues do you have pushing electricity through the grid. It's not like it's being delivered in a truck or courier van lol.

I prefer this brand, over others, including imported.  Buy from local bakery supply shop for ฿315 / 1 kg.  

Home Fresh Gold Butter (เนยโฮมเฟรชโกลด์), if out of stock, simply make our own, using heavy (whipping) cream, till restocked.

 

 

"Home Fresh Gold Butter, salted, 1 kilogram,
produced with the Sweet Cream Process method, using cream separated from fresh milk as the raw material, adding high quality butterfat imported from a famous source, adding a special strain of fermentation culture, and fermenting at temperature to extend the fermentation period for a longer time in order to increase the aroma and smooth, well-rounded flavor. Home Fresh Gold Butter is therefore the prototype of authentic fresh butter that still adheres to the raw materials used and the traditional production process."

I don't see them mentioned here ("Allowrie" blend as an example).

Anchor is butter.

Emborg is butter.

Both easily available at every Makro and others.

I buy Westgold from Villa ,they have some Frech butter too which is good but more expensive. Most other places have yellow stuff pretending to be butter.

Is it made from kangaroo milk?

Doubt it... kangaroo milk is pinkish in color with a sweet taste.

Makes a tasty yoghurt though.

Check the package with Allowrie, a lot is blended with palm oil and I don't like the taste.

 

New Zealand Anchor butter is the best.

Agree with that. Allowrie is nasty. Anchor is the best product for the price. Villa also sells Lurpak which is even better than Anchor but considerably more expensive.

Tastes fine to me. You come from a country that likes cold pork pies and warm beer, correct?

 

I buy Allowrie in the small sachets.

 

Pro tip: If you want it to get soft faster on toast, unwrap the butter, but leave the wrapper covering it on top, to collect more heat from the toast.

Have you ever tried milking a kangaroo?

[Seppius]

Been getting Westgold in Pattaya for b125 250gram, happy with that price, grass fed and tastes better than Anchor IMHO

Or just throw it away and buy real butter.

You have perhaps confused that product with the one sold in Australia.

[Cameroni]

If you want quality butter I would stay away from this New Zealand and Australian rubbish and instead buy the Danish butter sold in Tops. Not Lurpak. The other one.

 

There is also good French butter.

 

All Australian and New Zealand butter was truly poor, if you do not have money Orchid is always an option.

It has its roots in Ireland but there seems to be a trading arrangement in the US, Kerrygold USA.

I have bought some at Siamburi but it was a one off, their products are a bit hirt and miss. What i bought had a UK barcode.

I have heard of wine snobs, and beer snobs. I did not know there were butter snobs as well.

What you mean is that you are not at all discerning. Up to you. Eat as much crud as you like. It's your body.

Got  to read the not so small fine print sometimes, especially when buying butter.  Although the price is usually a good give away, if not real butter.

If grass fed cows, that (beta carotene) would explain the yellow color ...

... or E number E102, C.I. 19140, FD&C Yellow 5 or 6

That's a completely different product. This is the Anchor I am referring to, pure butter - no blend. At least I think, will read the ingredients when I get home.

yeah that looks to be the same I posted in post#2... just different language on the packaging.
