Butter with Olive Oil: How Does It Taste?

smart balance has had olive oil butter out for about a year now, and ALL of their products have no trans fat. It spreads nicely and tastes pretty good, sounds like it's much better than this land o lakes which you called "oily". Nobody wants oily tasting butter.

WHy not just eat smart balance which has ZERO saturated fats?!

I have used a mixtuure of butter and olive oil to quickly saute meats and veggies for some years...the olive oil prevents the butter from becoming too brown and burning...i don't know about using it as a spread, but it works for me in cooking...of course, i use olive oil a great deal and like the taste and consistency...it is so healthy...i like to make a seasoned dipping sauce for bread with it...so, yes, i would probably try the Land 'O Lakes product...

I don't know about butter with olive oil but I had tried some smart balence 50/50 blend and it gave me horrible digestive issues the whole time I used it. I ended up throwing away what I didn't use already and in about 3 days, I was back to normal.

olive oil is best if you do not us to much,i use it for toast a lot.
and mixed with butter (real butter)is like extra treat.

I use to eat toasts with olive oil. Easier and healthier.

Some people just dont know better, actually according to the FDA there is no butter w/o trans fat... it depends on the serving, acording to serving size, one tablespoon might have .5 grams of trans fat and still be considered trans fat-free, because in their standards book, any product which contains zero to .5 grams of trans fat it can be label as free of trans fat. check here if you want straight out of FDA:

The question is on the paragraft after the Macaroni and cheese nutrional label example.

So bottom line is: there is no butter subtitute out of trans fat, if you take double or triple the serving amount, youll triple the amount of trans fat too. so Watch out fot serving size!

You can make it yourself. What it is, because most people in today's market for butter or margine, like butter. Well spinning on this, what about spreadable butter? So in order to do this, you need to add an oil. What oil is better than olive oil? As for making it yourself, just take a few sticks of butter and a couple tablespoons of olive oil on a stove melt and stir until blended, and stick in a container to chill. This will create a spreadable butter that is tasty and much more better for you than margerine. As for this brand of spreadable butter, forget about it. I am not paying 5 dollars for a tub of something I can make myself for even more less than this.

As for taste, just like butta and the texture is just margerine (without the plastic feeling lining on your entire palette.)

i haven't tried it but i sure i wouldn't like it.

I use butter with olive oil for browning dishes as well. The Land O'Lakes productrs are one of my personal favorites, but to each his own.
They also have Canola mixes and you can do it yourself with the whole butter and oil of your choosing...anything is better than that plastic margarine...duid you know if you leave it outside in the sun - it will not turn or melt? my niece had a science experiment**scary

You left out the most important detail. What's it's consistency like? Is it viscous yellowy like olive oil or is it soft and squishy not so viscous like butter. If I butter myself up with olive-oil butter will I tan better?
