Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It is best spread ac Available in Thailand, comes in a light version. Being olive oil based is good for cholesterol. Is an Australian product, I been using for over 12 years here and when I lived in Australia. Currently out stock Rimping and B C Chiang Mai. If stocks come back will buy bulk. ????❤???????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotoo Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks everyone. It's just that I've bought a couple of them lately that tasted off - not sure if they were stored incorrectly or my tastebuds are playing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After decades of these fake stuffs, I switched to the real thing... Ghee Takes some getting used to, but now, it goes in all cooking, and on the sandwiches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both. I guess I'll go back to Anchor butter, even if it is more hassle to spread. Incidentally I found the Olive Grove recently at a Rimping after not seeing it there for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'll state the bleedin obvious ???? keep it refrigerated, I've been eating/using it for years, never had a bad one yet, and a whole lot healthier than butter, and believe me I love butter, but since I've been here I have given up sugar & butter and also stopped smoking, I have other vices though ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an unopened one in my fridge for months - it was within its expiry though so I used it but it tasted off. Then I bought a new one and was amazed that it tasted equally bad...

tigerbeer Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 i think real butter or ghee are more natural products which the body handles better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Read the ingredients carefully. Most of the olive oil spreads sold here have more palm oil than olive oil in them. Pure butter is still healthier than all these palm oil and chemical based spreads. An excellent butter imported from Germany "Anunerlander" is now sold at Makro. It is absolutely the best of all of them (and he same price as the Australian brands). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you on that and it has been proven many times over the past few years that pure butter is healthiest overall, despite all the scaremongering of many years ago. I don't know of the butter you mention, however I buy the French butter, "Elle & Vire" and although it's supposed to be spreadable, after coming out of the fridge it really isn't, so a couple of thin slices put on the plate for just a couple of minutes before spreading makes all the difference. Haven't used any of these butter substitutes for years since I read reports on how they are made........and there is nothing like the taste of REAL BUTTER! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I've bought a couple of them lately that tasted off - not sure if they were stored incorrectly or my tastebuds are playing up. It's really a matter of personal taste. My family brought one tub home from the supermarket because the Meadow Lea spread had run out. We've used Meadow Lea for years, all my family (son, his wife and 3 kids) love toast and ML and Vegemite. When I read that the Olive Grove had Olive Oil I was positive because we use good quality olive oil at home (or sunflower oil) for everything, including sometimes dipping fresh bread in oilve oil. But I found the Olive Grove spread to have a really strange taste, very heavy, even unpleasant, it was well within use by date and when it was opened the top of the product looked fresh / not spoiled in any way. My 3 granddaughters took one bite of their toast with Vegemite and Olive Grove and they rejected it, they have all eaten this with ML a hundred times before and always loved it. All personal taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Olive Grove made in Australia, ain't it? Uses palm oil, right? A modern synthetic 'food' full of chemicals, eh? Guess i will stay with butter, but cut back to 1 kg per year. No problems with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
