Excellent

Gay Lea is my go to butter, with salt, and I stock up when on sale. I love it when I can find this butter, packages in four bars. It makes it so easy to put a 1/4 cup of butter in whatever you are baking. Otherwise I need to let the butter sit on the counter to warm up, before it can be sliced and packaged in 1/4 cup containers. It does cost a little more to buy in this convenient packaging, but when on sale, stock up and save money. I always have butter, with salt, in the freezer.

I would definitely buy this product but...

So there I was feeding a crew of 100 in a snowstorm in the middle of summer and you know my spreadable Gay Lea wouldn't spread. And then I had 100 angry people with lumps of butter on their bread. It was chaos. THEY WERE ANGRY. Great product, help me get away from the angry people when they slipped on it. Great lube.

Our new staple

We were a margarine family trying to find a better option. I was excited to try the spreadable butter because let's face it - trying to spread a stick of butter straight from the fridge is a bread-ripper. The spreadable butter is tasty, a better option over margarine, and has yet to rip a piece of bread in this house. We will be buying this from now on!

Extremely convenient

I use it on my toast, muffins, and bagels. Super easy to spread. You do not have to wait for your butter to melt anymore. Just take it out and spread it.

Great

I mostly use margarine due to it being easy to spread so was excited to try this spreadable butter due to the canola oil. This has salt added to it and omega 3. The butter was soft enough that made it easy and smooth to spread on baked goods, I had it with a bagel. The taste is good and creamy. Great to use in cooking and baking.

easy to spread

i love this spreadable because it's so easy to spread on bread even i just take it out of the fridge. it has a real butter tastes. i also use it for cooking . good product

Drooling

This butter is fantastic! I have it with some bread for breakfast and the taste feels rich in my mouth :) Really love the taste of it! Perfect! Highly recommend for anyone who likes butter and bread.

Easy to use butter

This product was very easy to find in the store I shop in as the packaging really stands out. It melts quickly and spreads well on vegetables and bread. The taste is alright. I would have liked a more buttery taste. I haven’t used it to bake, but I’m sure it would work quite well as you don’t have to wait for it to warm up to room temperature.

Blissfully Buttered

Last night I picked up the regular Gay Lea Spredable Butter at the grocery store. It was really easy to find in the same section as the bricks of butter. 

One thing i don't like is there's no tamper proof seal on this product. I just opened it in the store to check for finger prints and I was good to go. 

This morning i decided to make toast with cheese and a fried egg on top. I toasted the bread and was surprised how easy it was to spread on the toast compared to regular butter. It wasn't as smooth as the package makes it look but this was no hassle at all and it didnt rip up my bread. 

I decided to give it a try with frying my egg since it has the canola oil in it and once again quite pleased with the way things turned out. My egg was perfectly cooked and it did not get those hard crispy edges. 

The unsaturated canola oil doesn't take away from the nice buttery flavour and it has no preservatives, its a great source of Omega 3's, its nut free and pasteurized. 

Its made with butter (milk), unsaturated canola oil, water and salt. Thats it! Nice simple ingredients your family will love.

Spreadables Lite

We buy Gay Lea Spreadables Lite for a few reasons. Spreadables is made with butter and canola oil. The taste is very good and not as salty as most regular butter is. Also it does not leave an oily film in your mouth as some margarine do. Spreadables is exactly what the product is. We take it out of the fridge and in a couple of minutes we can spread it on fresh bread without tearing the bread. In that way it is so much better than regular butter. We love this product.
