Golden Churn Australian Pure Creamery Butter

939 days ago

Ate finish my last block of butter, so I went ahead and bought another. It is kind of sad to see that most Singaporeans are afraid of butter, believing that it makes them fat. But seriously, comparing to Margarine which is full of hydrogenated vegetable oil (aka trans-fat), it is loads better. And there are reports that claims that consuming good quality butter can be good for your heart and it is full of vitamins and other nutrients. Furthermore, butter tastes great! What I normally do is to cut a piece of butter and eat it plain. Some people find it a bit too oily to be eaten straight. If so, I would suggest the simple solution of dissolving it on your spoon. This way, you get some sort of a oil which is easy to swallow. Of course, you can spread it on toasted bread as well. That is what most people do anyway. I remember when I was young, every morning I would drink my hot Milo drink (chocolate drink) along with a piece of butter! And during those times, butter was cheap, very cheap. Now? No way!

Here you have the Golden Churn Australian Pure Creamery Butter. And yes, it is halal certified. 250g of salted butter. Anyway, it is not really that salty.

Product of Australia! Don’t be surprised. What gave it away? And yes, you will need to keep the butter refrigerated.

Use by 19th Jab 2011. Butter sure can last long. I guess it is due to the concentrated amount of fats in butter that makes it difficult for bacteria to breakdown butter. Butter probably was created by the result of attempting to preserve milk, just like yogurt centuries ago.

Short ingredients list means good – pasteurised cream and salt. No, I doubt that you would be able to find raw butter (butter made from raw milk and unprocessed) in Singapore. So you have to go for the second best which is those butter made from pasteurised cream. You can actually make your own butter by “whipping” cream till it forms a thick mess. Washing away the remaining liquid and you will get butter. Cool right?
