bmh Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Check the PROFECO site that reviews butter and margerines. I should not have said Belgium co should have said Belgium. The fact that Lala is Mexican does not prevent it from importing butter from Belgium..They also were reported as having less butter in the packaged than mentioned on the packaging..

ComputerGuy Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 The site does have a report that says country of origin is Belgica... for the untable or spreadable. (http://www.profeco.gob.mx/revista/pdf/est_06/mantequillas_ene06.pdf) But that's all I could find at the moment: nothing about the regular Lala butter.

elrich Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 For the past few years I have been trying to get Costco to bring down Kirkland salted butter. The store manager on Lopez Mateo (I think that's the street), Manual Miel is behind my effort, he agrees it is needed here with the large amount of ex pats looking for it. Listed below is the e-mail of the buyer for Costco. I suggest those of you who really want salted butter e-mail Paty with your request and maybe ask to speak with Manual the next time you're shopping there and let him know, maybe some pressure will convince them to stock it here in Mexico. The response I received from Paty (quite a while ago) was that she was working on it but there were certain restrictions by the Mexican government who are making it difficult.

ComputerGuy Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 bmh, I haven't seen any Lala untable, just the stick butter, which is definitely not spreadable until it softens. When it says untable, it is referring to the soft tubs, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 computer guy that is what you call the regular butter. Just taste it. i bought a stick of Lala butter yesterday, and I must say, spread on a warm bun, it tasted perfectly good to me. No rancid smell or taste, and talk about a lot cheaper than imported... unsalted, of course, but hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Saltos Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 CostCo in Zapopan had tons of Kirkland unsalted butter in both sizes today, Thursday December 3, 2015. $132p for TWO 454g packages. EIFT: I made a serious mistake yesterday... looking at the package, I thought the whole thing was 454g. So the price is actually $66p per, which is substantially cheaper than Lurpak or any of the others. It's Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well if we are allowed to bring in Canada into the discussion, I'd like to know what is so special about this Alberta company, Foothills Creamery, that they have had to turn down $3 million in orders because they simply can't get enough cream. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/foothills-creamery-butter-shortage-1.3348807 Is butter the new bacon for 2016?

M, I'm sure I saw salted Lala at Walmart SAT, at the bottom of the cooler where Lala is stacked from top to bottom. Also worth mentioning, that among the many acquisitions in Mexico and the US by Lala, is Borden's, making it one the largest dairy products operation in the world. They have a multitude of brand names in different regions of Mexico and the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Have you ever had Lala unsalted? I never have but then I do not buy salt butter, In France salt butter is somewhat of a specialty or regional item. When we say butter we mean unsalted so I never look for salted butter. If I want to add salt to it I can alwasy do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
