The Spinoff team tests new, cheap American butter Burtfield & Co against old Kiwi favourite Anchor. Why is this imported butter cheaper? The New Zealand butter is a sunny yellow while the US stuff is so pale, it was almost white. Burtfield’s “tastes like butter,” he said and the New Zealand block “tastes like the butter I know”. “But the food coming in must comply with food standards.”Is this whole imported butter thing new?
