Why does Lurpak taste better than standard butter?
Discussion
It's high quality butter and I don't buy anything else. It's full of flavour, so it requires less salt.
Stuff like anch*r is full of salt, just to give it some taste.
Once you get used to a good low salt butter, anything else is blinkin' awful.

I'm told it's made with soured cream (don't know the percentage). I didn't like it as a child but am warming to it as an adult.
I still prefer the French stuff with the crunchy crystals of salt in it though.

Because its the best butter money can buy
Not IMHO.Ever been to Normandy?
We stopped at a little farm near Carentan who were selling cider and bought some of their home-made butter as well. It was the creamiest, smoothest, richest butter i've ever had.
Makes Lurpak seem like Stork marg.

Where do you find it? Both of my local Sainsburys don't seem to stock it...The local costcutter to me sells a French butter called President which is pretty good too.

As a half Dane, I can confirm that Danish food is superb. The quality of their farmland is top notch.
You should try the Danish pastries in Denmark (made with Danish butter). They are so good it is hard to believe.
As a 100% Dane I have to agree. However, Danes don't really eat much Lurpak back home. Its seen as run of the mill butter if you like. They eat Kaergaarden butter You should try the Danish pastries in Denmark (made with Danish butter). They are so good it is hard to believe.
or, last year when I rented a beach house in Denmark we stopped in a small town (Grenaa) and went to the local cheese/butter/deli shop. Bought some local butter - boy that was something else! Think Lurpak times 3 in terms of flavour

Not if you believe the pro-British propaganda we're fed on the way pigs are farmed. The UK laws are (allegedly) above and beyond European for quality of life a pig goes through on the way to becoming bacon. Sow stalls and intensive methods have been banned over here but still used in Denmark. I tend to get my meat from the local farm and the difference in quality over supermarket packet meat is amazing, plus it's cheaper buying direct from the farm.You should try the Danish pastries in Denmark (made with Danish butter). They are so good it is hard to believe.
With you on the pastries though, also Belgian chocolate from Belgium, pizza from Italy, far better than the cheapo British copies.
