    I know this is a bit of a weird one... but does anyone know where i could get some real home made butter.. i.e made from the cream of unpasteurised milk? Really interested in sourcing some!

    butter itself is ridiculously easy to make yourself, so what you may be better off asking is where you can get some unpasturised/unhomogenized milk? For that your only hope is to approach a local farmer...even that doesn't hold much hope these days for fear of lawsuits/etc. Bummer, though...if you ever hear of someone willing to sell some of their milk pls let me know. I have many dreams of homemade yogurt/butter/ice cream/cheese/whey...

    I could probably source the milk, just dont want the hassle involved in the whole butter making process...
    I agree with your point tho about the law suits! I dont really hold much hope out in being able to get the butter for that reason.

    what hassle? you whip it until it becomes butter, then you squeeze out the water (well, whey actually, which you can use for countless other purposes)

    Now, after all that I will answer your question. Tesco, Super Value and probably plenty more stores as well. If you're in Galway, you can get it at the market on saturday. Enjoy it, but it really turns my tummy

    Really? I have never seen real homemade butter at Tesco, SuperValu et al. Sure you get the commercial stuff, but never anything that's been made from pure fatty milk.

    OP - tell you what. If you can source the milk & get it to me, I will very happily make butter/yoghurt/whatever for us both & bring your share of it back to you. If that's an idea you'd be interested in PM me. :)

    Heres a link to a local producer close to me here. If you contact them, they will tell you where you can buy their produce close to you.

    Thanks for that link. Looking on it though, the closest retailer to Co. donegal selling their products would be dunnes in sligo town (unless tesco has it, but even that is sligo/letterkenny)

    There's a farm shop about a mile before Ramelton on the letterkenny side, everything comes from the local farms, so they might sell it.
