German branded butter mildly acidified” and “Netto Marken-Discount Gutes Land German branded butter mildly acidified”. “.
Stiftung Warentest has divided the butter test into categories such as “sensory judgement”, “harmful substances”, “packaging”, “spreadability” as well as “declaration” and “microbiological quality”. Overall, every second butter was convincing in the test. 1st place in the Stiftung Warentest test are shared by two products:
