Proper Butter!

A question about : Proper Butter!

Why is it so hard to find butter that actually has that lovely buttery taste nowadays? Lurpak used to have it but now it's almost tasteless as are other brands. I've occasionally had some lovely butter when having scones in cafes (the little pats that come in the foil) but it's been a long time since I've tasted it.
We've been trying different brands and tried two different ones from M&S recently and they were nice but still lacking that buttery flavour. Any suggestions for butter brands that actually taste of something?!

Best answers:

• Aldi stock local butter and milk here. Not sure if that's something they do in every store but maybe worth having a look (or ask them on FB or Twitter if you don't want a wasted journey).
• If you have a local market try there and ask to taste.
• No local market here otherwise I would've done this
• The nicest supermarket butters are Kerrygold and President lightly salted, in my opinion. Aldi do a a Welsh butter which is also nice. I really don't like any of the others.
• Grass pastured cows = Irish,
  I go for unsalted.
  Farmfoods.
  Also French
  Also Goats...
• Aldi do a speciality west country butter with sea salt Ј1.29, it's a rich tasting butter.
• There is only one butter for me. And I do accept that people's tastes differ.
  KERRYGOLD!
  Deep yellow colour, magnificent flavour. To me, the absolute best of the bunch!
  Now I am going to pop two slices of bread in the toaster and smother them in KG. Drool.
• Zippy's recommendation is a good one. And if you shop around, Bridel butter from Britanny with sea salt crystals is excellent - always assuming you aren't salt phobic.
  The comment about Lurpak is spot on - whatever have they done to it?
• We just tried the Brittany butter with sea salt from M&S which was yummy but still lacked that elusive flavour...will definitely try Kerrygold (been years since we tried that) and also that one from Aldi which was mentioned. My quest for buttery butter continues!
• I also have wondered about butter. What HAVE they done to it?
  Do they whisk it and incorporate air? Or add water? I have pretty well convinced myself that something of that nature is going on.
• Sainsbury's deli counter has local farm butters.
• It depends what you want to do with the butter. For baking, I find any old will do - so if I see it reduced, it goes into the freezer and I use it straight from there.
  I rarely buy butter to spread on things, but the next time I do it will be the Aldi West Country stuff as its had so many positive endorsements.
• We want butter for sandwiches and for toast...I also use any butter or even margarine for baking. My thinking is, if the butter actually has a lovely flavour we would only need a bit of it ...in reality we would probably eat enough lovely buttery toast for it to come out of our ears!
• You could make your own
• I could, but it really shouldn't be so hard to buy butter that actually tastes like butter
• President is a cultured butter ie made from fermented cream. Lurpak is too, although they taste completely different ! I would guess that might be because of breed of cow, pasture, resulting fat content of the cream and the production process.
  OH and I love President but the organic version isn't sold here. So we've now switched to Sainsbury's SO organic unsalted butter which is actually cheaper than Lurpak.
• Yeo valley organic butter tasted nice and creamy to me.
• “Excuse me,
  Your Majesty,
  For taking of
  The liberty,
  But marmalade is tasty, if
  It’es very
  Thickly
  Spread.”
  Bother and Oh deary me
