While some well -known butter brands were well rated by Stiftung Warentest, a popular variety was particularly negative
Germans love their butter - whether on bread, for baking or cooking. But a test by Stiftung Warentest causes a stir: a popular butter falls through and should not be bought.
Stiftung Warentestthe butter from 30 different manufacturers took a closer look. The terrifying result:Just large and well -known brandscutparticularly badab.
But Let's take a closer look at the results:
The five people from Stiftung Warentest examined various buttermarks based on various criteria such as appearance, texture, smell, taste, mouthfeel, string ability, microbiological quality and packaging. Potential pollutants such as disinfectant residues were also taken into account.
Better not to buy anymore: two types of butters cut off particularly badly at Stiftung Warentest
- The sweet frame ofAlnaturareceived a brief, satisfactory assessment. The testers noticed that oil escaped from it and that it has an old taste.
- The mild acumblerIrish buttervonDairygoldwas rated as sufficient. The testers found that it has a cheese-rancid smell and taste and has microbiological abnormalities. In addition, it contained an increased content of saturated mineral oil hydrocarbons.

It is recommended not to keep butter in the refrigerator in the paper packaging because it can accept foreign smells. Instead, it should be kept in a easily lockable porcelain container, glass or plastic to protect them from external influences and unpleasant smells.
Signs of rancid butter are a dark yellow color and a sour smell. It is pointed out thatin the refrigerator for several weeks, but can also become rancid. It is recommended to freeze excess butter in portions in freezers in order to make them durable.
An alternative is the production of butter at home through the shaking method. For this you need cream with a fat content of 30 percent, which is shaken in a screw glass until the butter balls separate from the liquid. The homemade butter should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a week.

Butter in the test: Stiftung Warentest chose five test winners
The recommendation of Stiftung Warentest is clear:
Freezing is worthwhile
Because the butter prices fluctuate extremely, there areFrom Stiftung WarentestAnother good tip:Freezing is worthwhile.If the price is low, it is worth freeing supplies. However, the butter will lose taste. You avoid freezing fire if you freeze the butter in a can or freezer bag. In the refrigerator, butter thaws in two to three hours, at room temperature it is faster.
Please only on the table in portions
And there is still a good advice from Stiftung Warentest: "Not always put the whole piece of butter on the table, but only as much as is expected to be used. Temperature changes have a negative effect on the taste and consistency of butter."
