 You will not find a better tasting butterFeb 10, 2007
By Petur O. Jonsson
The Lurpak Danish butter holds its own in comparison with the most expensive French butter. I actually prefer Lurpak over expensive brands like Beurre d'Echire, Celes-sur-Belle, or Isigny-Ste-Mere.
Lurpak is a true lactic, or cultured, butter, and it is full of flavor. Therefore a warning is in order: once you start using this stuff there is no going back. Land O'Lakes simply will not do anymore and you will be stuck searching for this stuff wherever you go from then on.

 I like kellygold butter betterOct 26, 2010
By bandazar
I guess with any cheese or dairy product, different people are going to have different tastes. This butter is slightly closer to tasting like cheese (although it does not taste like cheese) than kellygold butter, imo. Maybe that's why I like kellygold better. Because I don't like the taste of cheese.
I'm sort of glad I got this butter to at least compare with kellygold though. I think it is more easily spreadable, and maybe a tad bit "softer" butter than kellygold.
Maybe I'll just try ordinary organic american made butter next time.. it's a whole lot cheaper, and see how it compares with premium butters.

Lurpak is far better than any other butter out there. Be glad you can buy it in the USA! Creamy, tasty and just plain good.

you're cooking with ButterJun 21, 2010
By JGC
Recently (I think it was their cookie show) ATK voted Lurpak as the #1 butter in their tasting. And unlike Rach Ray who doesn't think twice about recommending the most ludicrous ingredients that cost the most, I have tremendous respect for Chris Kimball because he actually knows what he's talking about.
The taste of Lurpak is very similar to Land O' Lakes, which IMO is truly the standard of butter. I have only tried it a few times since I do not have any recipes that call for butter, but I wanted to try Lurpak since it was so highly recommended. On a piece of toast it is fine and it melts very well.
It comes in a little block and it is extremely firm (the sign of all fine butter).
I am not certain if I will purchase this again since I was not overly impressed with Lurpak and because Land O' Lakes comes packaged much nicer and is a lot less. Nevertheless, Lurpak is still a good butter to try and to use if you have any recipes that call for a high-fat content butter.
Anyway I found this at Shop Rite (don't you dare buy this online unless you enjoy paying more than twice the price - it is stold at all grocery stores) for two ninety-nine for 8 ounces (which is the size of 2 Land O' Lakes sticks).
Remember, you don't have to spend a lot to be a great cook.
