A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

Butter is one of the few that I legitimately can’t tell the difference between the real thing and the vegan alternatives (some of them).

Cheese is the opposite. Not only have a never had a vegan cheese that tasted like real cheese, I’ve never had a vegan cheese that tasted good.

Have you tried good proper butter? Not that weird white stuff Americans make. Actual flavourful yellow Irish butter.

Margarine tastes okay and I use it all the time, but it's a pale imitation of the real thing.

French butter like Prèsident is so good, better than Irish butter in my opinion.

And that's considered one of the fairly inferior choices.

Oh no doubt, I saw it in Walmart though so it was easy to try
