As Aldi aficionado, The Amazing Aldi, noted on Instagram, "Aldi has the Irish butter in spreadable tubs right now." This means the stuff is ludicrously easy to spread straight out of the fridge. The responses were both positive and negative, with several users advising the addition of canola oil does nothing for it, while others claimed the butter tasted almost like margarine and the variety with olive oil is better overall. However, a couple commenters described it as "awesome" and confirmed they're eating it on a daily basis.
There's a long-standing argument between Aldi fans about whether the German grocery giant's own-brand Irish butter can hold a candle to Kerrygold. Aldi Reviewer advised it's softer and easier to spread than American butter, while the rich taste reminded the writer of Kerrygold. Nutritionally speaking, there isn't too much difference between Countryside Creamery and Kerrygold, although there's slightly less salt in the Aldi variety (it doesn't taste less salty, however). Plainly speaking, if you can't source the real stuff, Aldi is your best bet — particularly in its new, handy spreadable tub.
