    Kerrygold and Connacht Gold both produce spreadable butters. Connacht Gold also do a low fat one but it's definitely butter.

    Don't think it's a legal issue but I get where you're coming from OP. I detest spreads and I hate when places offer "butter" and it's actually a spread.
    spreadable butter called blended butter ~65% butter and rest vegetable oil /hydrogenated crap and perhaps mention olive oil but doubt that.

    Connacht Gold Spreadable includes vegetable oil; I imagine most of them do as it makes them spreadable whereas butter is a solid at low temperatures.

    Do any of them include hydrogenated oil? My understanding is that the point of hydrogenation is to make it sold whereas the point of adding to butter is to make it less solid. Simple liquid vegetable oil is going to achieve that.

    How did this become a serious conversation about butter?

    I've used the Connacht Gold spreadable butter before. It spread like just like real butter when you take it from the fridge, neither spread easily, so no use for a sandwich shop.

    The only good thing about the "butter" they use in shops is they use so little you hardly even notice it.

    I assume the mods will eventually kick it off to a more appropriate location.

    Butter late than ever.

    Never said it was just saying no hydrogenated crap

    Dairygold (& maybe Kerrygold) is only cream and salt. The rest are full of oils.

    You’re completely wrong about Dairygold. One of its main ingredients is palm oil. It is not butter.

    Kerrygold is butter, cream and salt.

    Finally remembered to check the Connacht Gold and nope, no oil at all in the ingredients.

    Go on then what's in it apart from milk products? Water and emulsifiers?

    Yeah! Butty is short for buttered bread. I never knew that until I moved to England

    no oil but 49% butter only. What takes another 51%; Salt, Lactic Acid, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Colour (Beta Carotene) ?

    Unexplainable miracle

    The missing ingredient will be water. And possibly milk powder.

    The Kerrygold spreadable butter was, as above, dairy products and salt, and lovely. Last tub I bought now contains rapeseed oil, and it's gack. Leaves this greasy weird stuff on your toast. To be fair, when I checked the tub, it now has a big red stripe advertising the fact, which if I'd been paying any attention at all I'd have seen.
