Tasting Table tested and ranked 12 popular butter brands, concluding that Lucerne's salted sweet cream butter, while not terrible, had an off-putting tangy aftertaste likened to candy. Priced affordably, it may serve well for cooking, though it was not favored for spreading. The article discussed how online reviews might vary, with some customers appreciating its taste and value. The Challenge brand was highlighted as a better budget option, ranking fourth overall, while the top pick was Kerrygold, praised for a superior flavor profile.
While this butter came in last on our rankings, it was by no means bad. This butter had a smooth texture and tasty sweet cream flavor, but there was an odd, tangy aftertaste described as a "dead ringer for SweetTARTS candy" that we found off-putting.
We determined it would work best as a cooking butter rather than for slathering on pancakes or bread. Lucerne is on the more affordable end of the spectrum, too, making this a decent purchase for cooking.
When it comes to price, the least expensive butter we tried for our rankings was actually the Challenge brand, and that came in fourth place overall. We really enjoyed the flavor of the Challenge butter and would happily choose it as a budget-friendly option over Lucerne any day.
Online reviewers don't seem to feel the same way, with many noting the excellent value and great taste. We certainly didn't think this butter was the worst to ever exist, but that aftertaste was hard to get over.
