has anyone tried the costco homebrand butter? tried tescos and its too sweet. costco used to carry lurpak but have knocked it on the head for some reason. the land o lakes stuff is ok but a little pricey.
cheers |

finally tested the costco butter and its just the job. half the price of the lando lakes and lurpak stuff - 4lbs for 2 manwon.
it says sweet cream but so does the landolakes stuff.
good times indeed! |

Do you mean the butter is too sweet because it's been artificially enhanced? Otherwise, that's just the butter sans salt, which acts as a preservative. Go ahead and use if for puff pastry. It won't taste sweet in the end, but it should taste full of flavor. But add a little salt to help bring out that flavor, too. |

| I think Homeplus has landolakes, and maybe one other brand? |
