Woolworths Hillview Salted Butter

Bought Hillview Butter never even thought to check where it came from !!! It’s dreadful, like lard, on looking on back it’s from USA and they Barn breed cattle, it’s no better than Battery Hens. Show details

Awful product. I purchased a few 500g pats for Christmas baking. It’s super pale and tastes weird. I checked the “best before” date and it was four days after online purchase, so I’m guessing no one was repurchasing after trying and stock was just sitting there. I won’t be purchasing again. 0 stars Show details

Don't like it at all it is not at all natural Show details

As others have said. Pale, tasteless, does not melt like normal butter. Texture is like lard. Lacks the richness and creaminess of every other brand of butter I have ever tried. Will not be buying again. Show details

Now just wait a minute. Just 18 months ago every Australian was whinging 24/7 led by the ABC full on that the supermarkets were ripping us off. All political parties joined in without any rational debate on our food giants currently supporting 100% Australian farmers. The Albanese government even threatened jail for the CEO of each supermarket… Read more

chain if they proved price gouging and only last week Labour is talking the same threat with fines on profit. Our supermarket giants had only one legal option which was to go overseas and source cheaper food at the detriment of our local farmers. True to the Australian nature we are beautiful at destroying anything good. The supermarkets bust their gut to feed us quality at the best price. NOW.. just sit up to the table and enjoy your made in USA butter because you wanted cheaper food. Don't you remember the tantrum?

If I could give it less than 1 star I would. Couldn't get the usual Woolworths Australian Butter and just picked this up. Didn't read the label that it was made in the USA. Would never have bought it. Made my Christmas cake with it. Hope it hasn't ruined it!. Pale, tasteless, has a texture like sticky clay. Doesn't melt like regular butter. Don't… Read more

know what the Americans do to get the butter like this as supposedly only milk and salt as ingredients. The fruit cake mix was like working dried fruit into a bowl of soft, sticky clay. Dreadful stuff. Get rid of it Woolies!

Ridiculous! Stocking inferior American products. Aussie farmers and people are doing it hard enough as it is and you want to supply this garbage? All the while stalking us with instore cameras and having robots serve us. Local farmers market people! Ditch Woolies!

I am not a snob. I grew up poor. I hate food waste. The generic butter has always been perfectly fine. This however is vile. Pale, tasteless,with the consistency of lard. I didn't even know butter could taste bad. It's butter! Avoid. What are they feeding American cows to make this abomination? Show details

This to me is a true reflection of what Woolworths thinks of their customers. Pushing this rubbish onto us. I sadly bought two 250g blocks and it went straight into the bin. How anyone dares to call this 'butter', is beyond me.

This is the most terrible butter imaginable. The butter has put me off the company brand. What is so wrong with the cows to make such terrible butter? Are the cows dying? Being fed poison? Do these people torture their cows? I can't believe it's butter. I have no idea how hillview make butter that is so wrong and terrible. Show details

I bought this so called 'Butter' and let me tell you not to bother. I opened it up and it didn't even resemble Butter. More like a cheap no name brand of pale margarine. If l could rate it zero it would still be too high. What are woolworths… Read more

thinking trying to pass off such a low quality product that isn't even made in Australia. I would not recommend this product at all. That bad l just tossed it out.

Disgraceful in every way, pale and terrible to cook with. Not even Australian made. Show details

Bought some this week, opened a pasty white stick of butter that melted on the butter dish. Tastes horrible and is obviously cut with something, smells like fat not proper butter. Hate it, never again. Woolworth’s should take it off the shelf. Disappointed that the “Made in America” is so tiny on the label. Show details

Pale and tastes weird. Shame that we have our own dairy industry and we import an inferior product. Not only that our store reduced available brands to make it viable. I read that Woolies was flogging this stuff, and forgot to tell my wife and she picked some up. We decide we would use it for cooking and buy something else next time. It breaks down into a lard looking mess when heated - Yuk. And SHAME woolworths! Show details

Looks like lard, renderd fat will not be using again Show details

This product is the pus dribbling out of a dying camels rectum. 0/10. I’ll give it 10/10 for making me vomit and making me lose faith in humanity. USA dairy is disgusting. Woolies brand need to produce and buy products from Australia/NZ. Woolies are a bunch of c….ts. Show details

Shame on Woolworths for selling butter made in the USA. We bought some without realising, but as soon as we unwrapped it the lack of colour made it obvious that it wasn't Australian. I'm disgusted that this is being sold in our country, rather than supporting our own dairy industry. Never again. Show details

The colour was white,like Cream Cheesewhen I removed the wrapping.No buttery smell either.Disappoointed,over my Teacake,Topping,using this butter which seemed to harden like lard,and lacked a rich butter taste.I was forced to purchase this item,as Woolworths had no other butter at the time. Never Again! Show details

I cannot express strongly enough how disgusted and disappointed I am with Woolworths’ decision to import butter from the United States. New Zealand produces some of the finest butter and ice cream in the world, and Australia also has exceptional dairy products. It is incomprehensible that a company operating in this region would overlook such… Read more

high-quality, locally produced goods in favour of imported alternatives.

American butter is pale and lacks the richness of our local products because their cows are fed on grains like corn and meal, not on natural grass. The quality simply cannot compare to the rich, natural products made here in New Zealand and Australia.

While I understand that importing butter from the U.S. may offer short-term cost savings, this decision is extremely short-sighted and, quite frankly, shameful. By undermining local farmers and producers, Woolworths risks damaging industries that have supported our communities for generations. What will happen when those local producers are gone, and you can no longer rely on imports? The choice to prioritise profit over quality and sustainability is deeply disappointing and I will not EVER buy this butter, and I will be encouraging others to not buy it. Like many now, we totally back NZ and Australian produces where we can.
