Depends. There's a very good, very butter tasting vegan "butter" (it's margarine) that I use a lot nowadays. All depends a bit on what's on sale too.
Often we use a margarine that is a mix of butter and oil, not sure what is is techically. I've also made my own margarine from butter, oil and water and it's very easy to make and pretty nice. Having something soft for bread is preferred, but I tend to cook and bake with olive oil, removedseed oil or butter.
The most neutral flavor vegan butter I’ve found is this one, which is partly coconut oil:
Otherwise I don’t mind the other brands like Flora. Some are above 70% fat, and are much more appropriate alternatives than margarine to dairy butter.
I'm not a huge fan of Keiju or any of the other old school margarines, typically using Oivariini.
But the vegan stuff is great. I also bake with it when making stuff fully vegan, because it's very nice tasting for stuff like a good vegan carrot cake.
This is the stuff:
It's made from vegetable oils, including coconut and shea. Plus oat milk and stuff, genuinely tastes like butter to me.
I will pick one up next time I’m in the store, thanks!
