<p>Hi fellow Aussies. I am in Canberra and when I go to buy butter there isnt much choice. Is there one butter that is better than another for Paleos?</p>

<p>I live in syd, but hzve been to canberra afew times. Pepe saya is the beez kneez of aussie butter. I can get mine in thomas dux, iga... it is pricy though. If you go the farmers market in canberra, there are a few butter people. I remember eating it from the packaging with a spoon. Freakishly good. I often get the tasmanian butter from coles too.</p>

<p>Is some butter not as good as others in terms of nutritional value? Or is it more about the spreadability and/or taste? </p>

<p>There is a new butter saturating the (health food and organic) market from New Zealand which I forget the name of but is marketed as 'grass fed' and has exciting packaging. It is a very pale yellow and a product of multiple farms. I like to know exactly where my food comes from so I steer clear, but it would be a step above supermarket fare.</p> <p>In Brisbane there is an organic market Sundays opposite the RBH which stock quality raw, grass fed butter. However normally I buy Paris Creek Farm, it is always a deep yellow and while it might be from Holstein's it is a family run operation who genuinely care about what they're doing. From speaking with them I can tell you the cows are grass-fed year round and fed grain only when milked (3-5 mins, twice daily). They are a biodynamic and organic farm.</p> <p>If you're in QLD, Baramba is another decent alternative which is more widely available than Paris Creek.</p>

<p>I'm not from Australia but when we travel abroad I always grab myself Anchor Brand butter. From what I understand it is produced from free range cattle..organic too. It has a wonderful taste and texture. Difficult to find where I live and when I can find it it is super expensive. :)</p>

<p>I daresay this thread will be pretty helpful...</p> <p><a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread49943.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread49943.html</a></p> <p>There is a NZ 'Westgold' butter that is grass fed that is in supermarkets in Sydney, quite probably it'll be in cANBERRA TOO.</p>

<p>I tend not to over think the butter thing too much. That said, the best tasting one (imo) i have found at a good price was from Woolworths (Sydney).</p> <p>Its called 'Organic Butter' by 'Macro Wholefoods Market'.</p> <p>Could not find a picture of the butter itself, but here's what the logo looks like <a href="http://www.woolworths.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Website/Woolworths/Our+Brands/Macro/" rel="nofollow">http://www.woolworths.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Website/Woolworths/Our+Brands/Macro/</a></p> <p>'Macro Wholefoods Market' is not exclusive to Woolworths (i think) so you may find it in other shops as well.</p> <p>good luck</p>

<p>Most Australian butter will be majority grassfed. Ive worked in Australian dairies and the only time they dont eat grass is when they are being milked (twice a day, 20 mins intervals). They chomp on corn and grain, sometimes chaff (dry grass) etc so they relax and let their milk down. It would make up max 10% of their diet. Im more worried about the stuff they put on the grass they eat, dairy farmers love their fertilisers. An organic label would be the best bet.</p>

<p>Grass Fed butter tastes better and one of the ways it is better for you, is that it contains beta-carotene, a Vitamin A precursor. Beta-carotene is absent from grain-fed cow's milk.</p> <p>You can find more details on brand options and where to buy them in Australia here: <a href="http://optimoz.com.au/blogs/news/6752684-second-article-grass-fed-butter-in-australia" rel="nofollow">http://optimoz.com.au/blogs/news/6752684-second-article-grass-fed-butter-in-australia</a></p>
