LURPAK Vs ALDI NORDPAK BUTTER Which is best for your budget? Food Review

[@peterhartley3704]

Nordpak was £1.69 a couple of months ago. Even Aldi foodstuffs are going up by 20% plus increments. Food inflation is rampant, very worrying.

[@PotatoPirate123]

Yes the lentil crisps I buy at Aldi are now £1.19. They used to be 89p. Aldi still has brilliant prices on things though. I would never have dreamed of shopping there 15 years ago but they've stepped up their game hugely. Lidl on the other hand really haven't changed at all, although they still have some interesting stuff.

[@L1RW]

The filtered milk was £1.15, it’s now £1.35. Nordpak was £1.55 not long ago. Probably only a matter of time before Aldi/Lidl aren’t the cheapest!

[@Lunarangst]

Red Roosters gone from £1.70 to £1.99, I will say their red potatoes have reduced a little in price but overall it’s an unnerving time

[@Lunarangst]

@@L1RW what makes you say that ? The other stores have all experienced increases too

[@PotatoPirate123]

@@Lunarangst yes they will all be increasing concurrently but Iceland have been overpriced for a few years now. Branded items are going up faster than own brands, probably because they have a captive audience of zombies who refuse to try anything else - we all like a certain brand of something or other but there really are people out there who refuse to buy anything but branded items like Heinz beans, Cathedral City, Warburton's Bread, Lurpak, other things like branded yoghurts and crisps and even fish fingers. Manufacturers know they can milk them because they know they can already afford to pay more.

I came across this video by pure chance. We WERE lurpak eaters but changed because of, in my opinion, Lurpak jumping on the Covid bandwagon and blaming it for the rise in prices, when nobody else was upping prices like Lurpak were. So, I drove to the nearest Lidl and bought some Nordpak, and you are absolutely correct, no difference. Thank you for showing us all the truth 👍 Subscribed.

[@annwatts9884]

I would love to use the normal lurpak block all the time but its too hard to spread straight from fridge. How do you store yours please?

[@andrewcoates6641]

@@annwatts9884 I put my butter in my fridge to store it for the intrim period, until I require the butter to be available for spreading. It then gets transferred into my stainless steel butter dish with its own lid, which I then place adjacent to my dining table, shielded from direct sunlight by placing it into a shaded area and creating further protection by covering it all with either a thick towel or more usually a newspaper or magazine. I keep an eye on how much butter is left in the dish and put a new block in place before it runs out. I normally keep two 250 gram blocks on stand by in my fridge and whenever I drop to just one block, I add butter to my shopping list for the next shopping trip, which will usually result in me restocking my supply before I run out totally.

[@stevewilson6390]

@@annwatts9884 Hi Ann keep it in the fridge but divide it in to quarters , that way you can leave one quarter at room temperature , that way the block of butter keeps fresher longer. Alternatively leave it in the fridge and when you want some cut off the amount you need and soften it in the microwave (it dosent do it any arm ). Block butter only because it's natural with no additives or vegetable oils .

[@annwatts9884]

Thank you Andrew and Steve, im certainly going to give suggestions a try especially dividing it up so if i forget it at least not lost the whole block. I spread mine so that you can see my teeth marks when i bite lol

[@majordolbyscat]

I never buy spreadable but I will say that a knob of slightly salted Lurpak here and there in my cooking is, for me, unbeatable. I find that a 250g, £2.50ish, block of Lurpak butter lasts me well over a week. Drop a knob onto the top of pasta, add it to the frying pan before boiled rice and egg yolk, let it melt on toasted bread before spreading. Small amounts but the taste, for me, is unbeatable.

[@davidhookway514]

If you buy M&S Spreadable Butter, it is All Butter without added Oil. They say it is Whipped so it will spread.

I buy Tesco Buttery spread. 89p for 500g tub. Does the job perfectly for sandwiches and frying eggs etc. As you say its there to moisten the bread so its not too dry when eating.

[@obi-wankenobi8446]

If you're a proper butter/margarine enthusiast like me you taste them alone and on food. There is a big difference when you taste it alone, the Norpak is softer, and melts into oil fairly quickly, less salty as well. The Lurpak is more firm, doesn't kept as quickly in the mouth and doesn't have a less oily feeling and much more salt. Asdas version of Lurpak is the same price as Aldis, and that one genuinely does taste almost identical, and the Asda one has that firm less oily texture to it. In this video there's only a very very small amount of each spread used, so I'd imagine that's why it's hard to tell apart, there's just not as much there to work with. Lather in a good amount and see what you think.

[@futureskeletons66669]

@@BaldFoodieGuy Good move. Why eat cooking oil and chemicals when butter is something like 2 natural ingredients. There's a load of nonsense and lies talked about food. One week you're told something's unhealthy or superior, then you're told something contradictory the next. I stopped listening yrs ago. What's really annoying is the amount of food once classed as pet food or animal feed that Michelin Starred chefs try and peddle as gourmet cuisine and how obediently people go along with it. Look into a guy called Edward Bernays and his marketing techniques and how he got people to blindly buy into pork belly when it was once called "muck meat" and only deemed only suitable for pet food.

For me that's the craziest comparison yet. Often the value product is a pale imitation of the "real thing" - it's the price difference that makes it attractive enough to take the compromise. But in this case, same ingredients, same nutritional values give or take, and less than half the price. It's a complete no-brainer!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal

[@agffans5725]

In Denmark, where Lurpak is from, then like in this case, the cheap imitation stuff has more color than the more expensive pale butter, simply because of the more (or poorer quality) oil and the coloring they add to the cheaper products, to hide it's a lower quality. Even if the ingredients seem the same on paper, then you can clearly see and taste the difference (unless something is wrong with your eyesight and taste buds), because they use ingredients of a better quality in the good stuff. So obviously you do not get the same quality, but then again, if butter is kind of indifferent to a person, then why spend more money on it. It's a bit the same with a cheap "cardboard" pizza and a genuine Italian quality, they are both made of flour and may also have the same toping, on paper that is, but the quality of the flour and topping used, will be at a total different level, just like a tomato is not just a tomato, and a potato is not just a potato, but some are of a higher quality, and so also do not taste the exact same, just like fries and chips do not taste the exact same.

[@deathstarHQ]

The difference is simply the place where it's produced, Lurpak is made in Denmark, everything is mega expensive in Denmark, a Bigmac in Demark is almost £8. Nordpak is made in Ireland, this is how Aldi keeps their prices low, by producing their own goods in places where the ingredients for that particular product are at the lowest prices.

I buy Lurpak spreadable when it's on offer then freeze it. Marks do a gorgeous Brittany butter with salt crystals in that's to die for. Probably of heart failure as it's like eating road grit, but in a good way. If you know what I'm mean. 🙂

[@Legionnaire7777]

The way prices are going people will be using mud out of the garden to use as a spread! These companies should hang their heads in shame with their crazy prices which will now never go back down. Excellent review by the way Sir 👍🏻

A blind taste test would have been better. We eat with our eyes & there is a possibility that your eyes could be telling you that 1 is better than the other. However, we have stopped buying ordinary butter & swapped to a budget supermarket brand of a spreadable type. Tbh, its pretty good taste wise but my mind & taste buds were telling me it is not real butter. At £1.07½ / 250g for the spread which is only a 50% butter content against £1.75 for 250g of unadulterated butter - it is a no brainer.

[@FK-zr9fn]

We always used to buy the Lurpack until the price got stupid, then we tried the Nordpack and couldn’t tell the difference. So you can guess what one we buy now 👍

[@carolbrand181]

Got your sums wrong Gareth its £2.85 difference not £2.75 .

[@PotatoPirate123]

You've accidentally highlighted what a rip off Iceland is these days. Lurpak spreadable on the whole is expensive. It's cheaper to buy a 250g block of it and keep as portions in a butter dish in a cupboard, then you get the full taste of butter without additives that lessen the taste (such as neutral rapeseed oil). In my experience butter will keep for a good couple of weeks in a cupboard even in the summer

[@PotatoPirate123]

Further to this, people managed for centuries without 'spreadable butter'. If anything these products highlight how terrified everyone is of food these days and how desperate they are to put bloody everything in the refrigerator even if it isn't necessary

[@darrenwilliams118]

Agreed about Iceland. I was shocked at how dear they have become lately and after seeing their CEO on Government propaganda time sorry Question Time I've decided to avoid them.

[@PotatoPirate123]

@@darrenwilliams118 I went the other day as I like to give stores a second chance. It's just a sea of collaboration items; their own brand items (such as chips) are expensive compared to other stores, most of the chilled and pantry items are far more expensive than any other supermarket I know of. Some of the prices are akin to a convenience store. As I've said in other videos it's great if you're a food review KZbinr as you get to work through an abundance of silly novelty products like Space Raider potato shapes and lasagne pies but for anyone just wanting to shop for normal items you might as well just go to a normal supermarket and get everything you need for less.

[@PotatoPirate123]

@@yips_way yes I saw an old couple doing a big shop the other day - loads of fresh items like apples and vegetables. There's an Asda about 300m away but they obviously still think Iceland prices *must* be cheaper because it's Iceland. I'm not sure how long the illusion will last

[@TheChodax]

Totally agree. As a treat 1.50 for 250g is far better and actually healthier.

[@RAGING_MIRAGE]

Yeah it's good stuff that Norpak mate. The price is brilliant..

[@iansims2984]

Love your reviews and normally go out to try stuff off the back of them but not this time I'm afraid. Lurpack is what we've used for years and did try the Norpack but went straight back to Lurpack as it just wasn't the same imo. There's very few things I wouldn't substitute to save a bit of cash especially atm but this is one of them 👍

[@stuartpace6111]

yes I agree the others are cheaper but doesn't compare in taste

[@karlos55555]

Yeah, I agree. There's a difference in taste, Lurpak is the best by far.

[@garysimpson3900]

Eating your crusts. Surprised you haven't got curley hair.

[@davidross6574]

My old mum would only eat Lurpak. Unfortunately she passed away last year, (aged 95). If she was alive today She would probably still only eat Lurpak, but if you was to give her Nordpak without telling her, I bet she wouldn't be able to tell the difference. With a two quid plus price difference we eat Nordpak and it does us fine.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

sorry about your loss David.

[@jaynebailey2266]

A friend of mine was a fussy eater that only ate branded products unless they came to my house where I didnt always buy branded products but would put money branded into branded packaging when she came round only time she said anything was when I gave her some jam she would only eat hartleys yet I had a shops own brand and she asked why my Hartley jam taste better than the one she had lol

[@lesleydickson7746]

I bet she could!🥰

[@dianehosler2552]

£2.85 cheaper NOT £2.75 as you stated lol

[@davidbowie2046]

Love Lurpak. It's the best spreadable butter, but the price is so expensive these days that I'll be going for the Aldi or Lidl one now

[@TheChodax]

You won't be disappointed, it's the exact same product barring a different emulsifier and slight process tweak.

[@troy1162]

Dont take notice of this butter scientist it's not the same as lurpak this guy got no taste buds

[@JoelTehMole]

Haven't had lurpak for ages. £5.00 a pack, pure robbery.

[@barbb4405]

I shop at Aldi and have swapped many of my weekly shop items from big brand names to Aldi’s own and have been amazed at the savings. I have given Nordpac a go but It’s not for me, I found the taste was ok but no where near nice enough to make me want to change from Lurpak, I thought it had a strange smell to it too . I remain a Lurpak girl, you just can’t beat it 🧈😍 but of course this is just my opinion Thanks for another interesting video 👍🏻

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks 😊

[@elspethdornan7739]

Funnily enough I agree - the Aldi and Lidl own ones are OK but I did think there was an odd smell and taste so went back to butter - not always lurpak though - but think the brands will eventually price themselves out the market if this keeps going

[@helenstiff6306]

Well Gareth I love lurpak if it was 10pounds a tub I would buy it my favourite meal is breakfast toast lurpak and marmalade yum

[@kevinsmall4308]

The whole butter/spreads prices in all supermarkets have absolutely shot through the roof lately. Would not be surprised one bit that come December Lurpak will be not far off a tenner. Crazy times.

[@IamBATMAN2024]

Lidl’s Danpak has exactly the same ingredients too at £2 that’s what I get and it’s lovely. Lurpac is a total rip off!

[@simonh8931]

Not even watched the full video yet, but nothing compares to Lurpak imo. The king of butter. Got a funny feeling you'll come to the same conclusion 😉 I stand corrected 🤣🤣🤣

[@sarahstrong7174]

I feel that some of the brand name companies are taking the Mick now with they're prices. They are just putting them up as much as they think they can get away with completely regardless of value.

[@nathanredfearn3081]

I always used Lurpak but swapped to Nordpak about 4 years ago. It's just as good in my opinion and less than half the price!

[@lornaburgess9762]

Hell's Bells what a difference in price. Don't buy butter normally usually buy Clover but if I do I buy butter I get it in a block The real stuff. Lorna.

[@alanmc9152]

I've used Nordpak over Lurpak for nearly a year. If there was every a difference I know longer know what. Recently I needed more but couldn't get to Aldi. The Morrison''s imitation Lurpak has identical ingredients listed. Its in the freezer now so I can't compare taste but I'd be surprised if it wasn't fine for the money.

[@mikewright447]

you can freeze this stuff ? , i normally get aldis utterly buttery copy as its about £2.50 a kilo but my aldi is miles away from me but if i can freeze it .......
