I grew up on a row-crop farm in Central Indiana. We also kept a few cattle and hogs to have meat and fresh milk for our meals. I'm old enough to remember my Dad bringing in to my Mom a one-gallon pail of warm, rich, creamy milk from "Old Bossie", our Guernsey milk cow, when he had finished the milking. Mom would pour the milk into two glass pitchers and put them inside our refrigerator to keep cool and allow the thick, rich cream to rise to the surface, floating above the milk. Once the cream and milk had separated, Mom would carefully pour the cream into our hand-cranked butter churn glass container and put the pitcher containing what would still be considered whole milk today back into the refrigerator to stay cold. One of my earliest chores on the farm was to crank the butter churn to turn the heavy cream that rose to the top of the milk pitcher into butter. My mouth will still water when I remember how wonderful that hand-churned butter tasted when I spread it on a fresh, homemade buttermilk biscuit, still warm from our oven, along with some home-canned strawberry preserves, both made by my Mom, with love, for our whole family.Now, more than fifty years later, as I pull together the various food products to keep in my family's stores of evacuation / survival foods, I came across this rather uniquely packaged product that is not one of the "usual suspects" found in most people's stores of survival foods. Pure Creamery Butter from New Zealand, containing only cream and salt, brought back fond memories of the hand-churned butter of my childhood. But finding it packaged in a 12-ounce food products can was very surprising to me, and while its price of more than $1.00 per ounce was disconcerting, I knew I had to try it . . . . at least once. I owed it to my salivary glands and memories of my childhood. So I ordered it, and waited for Amazon.com's typical speedy delivery to bring it to me. I was prepared for this canned butter's arrival with a baking sheet of Pillsbury "Grands" Home-style Buttermilk Biscuits ready to go into the oven. (Mom taught me a lot about good, simple, home-style country cooking while I was growing up . . . . but she also taught me that some "shortcuts" were also good to know.)When I opened the can of Red Feather Pure Creamery Butter from New Zealand, first I gave it the "sniff-test", which, to my great relief, it passed with flying feathers, . . . . I mean, . . . . colors. As the fresh biscuits cooled a bit, I scraped up a small bit of the canned butter with a butter knife and put it in my mouth. As I savored the flavors in the butter, I could see a lush, green, verdant valley of grass in New Zealand in my mind's eye. The biscuits had cooled enough from baking, so I picked one up and put it on my plate. The biscuit split easily when I inserted a fork in its middle and released a small cloud of steam and the rich, doughy, yeasty aroma of a fresh biscuit. I ran the butter knife firmly across the top of the butter in a can and spread it over one half of the warm biscuit, letting it melt into the soft center of the biscuit. Then I repeated that action with the other half of the warm biscuit. Then, I put the butter knife on the plate, picked up the biscuit half I had buttered first, enjoying it visually, then opened my mouth and took the first bite.Old memories of my childhood ran through my brain, as I savored the familiar, comforting flavors that filled my mouth, my taste buds flooding my senses with satisfying happiness! Although I hadn't enjoyed any of Mom's home-canned strawberry preserves for decades, I could almost taste them, along with that warm home-style biscuit and the rich and flavorful butter that had melted and absorbed into the biscuit's center, just like when Mom made them.I've tasted expensive imported gourmet butters such as Plugra, Beurre d'Isigny, Sevre & Belle, Beurre Echire, Beurre de Chimay, Lurpak, Allgau and expensive domestic butters used by the chefs, as well as served on the table in pricey restaurants. I've also tasted, much more frequently, less expensive domestic butters, including the wonderful, flavorful hand-churned butter I made in my childhood home from the rich, high milkfat content cream separated from the Guernsey milk my Dad coaxed from "Old Bossie" by hand. What they all have in common are the lush, grass pastures where the cows who gave the milk and cream used to produce them grazed. I taste the presence of the same grazing on lush grass pastures rich in beta carotene and trace elements from the soils by the cows who produced the milk that made those delicious gourmet butters to be present in Red Feather Canned Pure Creamery Butter from New Zealand, It doesn't have as much depth of flavor as those well known butters from Europe, but it has a eminently enjoyable flavor that works very well with a warm, home-style buttermilk biscuit. And after any of those well known European gourmet butters have been sitting inside a plastic storage bin for a year or two with other evacuation / survival foods, I wouldn't give a plug nickle for any of them. But the Red Feather Canned Pure Creamery Butter from New Zealand will be right at home, ready to join forces deliciously with a home-style buttermilk biscuit, or a slice or two of B&M Brown Bread with Raisins in a Can (another item in my stores of unique evacuation / survival foods).Is this canned butter from New Zealand expensive? Oh my, yes it is, at over $1.00 per ounce. Do I need canned butter from New Zealand that costs more than $1.00 per ounce? No, I don't really need it. Do I want canned butter from New Zealand that costs more than $1.00 per ounce? Oh, yesssss !

This butter is so good you almost can't stand it. I have never tasted butter like this. You open the can, and there is a layer of pure fat, then a less fatty middle, then cream at the bottom. You mix it all up and it is spectacular! Rich and creamy and so amazingly buttery you almost can't stop eating it. I recommend not refrigerating, just put in a butter dish in a cupboard. Lasts very well. It's expensive yes, but so worth the cost. If I could find a fresh creamery where I am, I am sure this would cost about the same. Worth every penny.

Very satisfied with flavor, smoothness and quality feel. Since this butter is sourced from Australia and New Zealand I'd like to think it is sourced from grass fed cows, however wish this was clearly stated.

My grandma lived in Iquitos, Peru (Peruvian Amazon) and every year I visited her she will make my breakfast and will bring her butter in this peculiar can something my mom never did back in the capital. The memory of the flavor and the can always stuck in my head. One day I remembered her and decided to search butter red leaf and came accross to this seller. I bought it and the taste and the memories from childhood were fulfilled. This butter is everything so tasty and good. I’m very happy with my buy.

Thanx to a dented can I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!! trust the ten year shelf life. The one star is for packaging, not the butter.UPDATE tried the butter, it is excellent, smooth and creamy! 5 STARS

Red Feather Canned Butter This butter is excellent; it taste like old fashioned home made butter; I am old enough to remember real butter, eh? It dose not have any extra stuff in it like the butter you buy at the store. I froze the can I tested; it does not hurt it to freeze it; I freeze butter from the store all the time; it seems to not get rancid no matter how long you freeze it; the use for this canned butter is for camping or boating; some of us have long term food storage; this butter is good for that; keep it in the freezer until the power goes out; the shelf life starts then eh? I would use it every day except for the cost. You can find it by the case cheaper than on Amazon but, if you only want a couple of cans Amazon is the place. This is an excellent product!

At first I thought the taste was a little off putting. I realized however, that like I said, I was expecting land 0 Lakes quality butter which isn't bad but this butter is of exceptional quality! Its a bit pricey but it was worth it to try. Will I buy this brand from now on? No, but I will keep it in mind when I make bread..Mmmmmmm!!

Butter in a can? So I just moved and was stuck without a car, so getting butter was an issue. I figured I'd give this a job. Well I'll be damned, it tastes better than regular butter, specifically the Land o'Lakes we are used to. My wife even tasted it, suspicious of my "canned internet butter", but she then liked it so much asked me to buy MORE instead of our regular butter. Honestly, this is some crazy butter. Who'd of thought?
