Can anyone tell me where I can get a real butter that is great tasting?

I've tried various brands but can't find any with taste.  The closest I've come is with Graham's Dairy Unsalted Scottish Butter (green pack) which just happens to be produced quite locally.

Hope someone can help

Assuming making your own isn't an option (it's not hard, just fill a jamjar 1/3 with cream, shake till it resembles scrambled eggs and clears the glass, strain, wash and pat), one that we like when we have to buy some is Delamare's Goat Butter.  It doesn't taste in the slightest bit goaty, and of all the butters we've tried, it's our favourite shop-bought one.

I would try making your own. It is sooo simple. I just use double cream from the supermarket but if you had access to some 'real' cream or creamy milk then I am sure it would be even nicer.
You can make it with a food mixer, or in just a jar as Sally said, or in a plastic milk carton.
Whatever you use, just shake until it turns solid, which doesn't take long. If it's in a plastic milk carton just cut the carton to get the butter out. Save the buttermilk for making other things. Wash the butter throughly in water and then get it as dry as you can. I have some butter pats that work well. At this stage put in salt to your taste. It freezers well so don't worry about making too much.

Oops, I forgot to mention salt, didn't I!  And also to save the buttermilk - good catch, Sally!

If I am making salted (for someone else), I put it in as I begin the washing, because it helps to get the water to come out.

Stichill Dairy near Kelso in the Scottish Borders does great cheese and also butter. Not sure how you would get hold of it, but they do sell at all the Farmer's Markets round here.
