I have been using Clover spread virtually exclusively for the past twelve to fifteen years and have generally been very happy with it. It "was" the only spread that isn't butter but looked and tasted like butter. Now, however, shock horror, the last tub I bought which is now in the fridge, I have noticed both in look and taste, a marked difference in the product I have been using for all these years. The new appearance is now like that of virtually all the other non butter spreads on the market, a certain 'plasticness', and the taste has deteriorated markedly, to the point where I can't see how I'm going to get through the virtually full tub in the fridge. ...  Read the complete review

Clover is made by the Dairy Crest company in Crudgington near Telford. It is a type of margarine that tries to be as much like butter as like margarine. It is made from Vegetable Oil & Buttermilk to help give it a more buttery taste. A 500 gram tub costs around the £1.50 mark although most supermarkets with have it on offer periodically at around £1.00 per tub or in BOGOF deals. When it comes to margarine, neither me (nor my wife, who does a little more shopping then me) are very brand loyal. We are willing to try other things & regularly buy items that are on offer. While this is true, Clover is one the the brands that we prefer to buy. If ...  Read the complete review

I bought a 500g tub of this Clover spread last week when I saw it was on offer reduced from £1.49 to £1 in the local Co-op. We had some margarine in the house but it was vile- very cheap and the sort of margarine that is so cheap it will not melt on hot vegetables. So, I wanted to buy something decent and hopefully on offer. I have tried Clover before, but before I bought it I had no real opinion of it or preference about buying it. My favourite spread of all time is Lurpack but it is very expensive, so we just buy whatever is on offer. This week it is Clover. 500g for £1 is a decent buy in my opinion. The tub is pale yellow with a three leaf ...  Read the complete review

'Clover Spread' As my wife came home with a massive 1kg tub of Clover spread yesterday I thought I would give it a review as I munch away at my toast which is currently caked in the stuff. Although at present we currently have a tub of flora in the fridge and a tub of some 75p made from soya tesco weird stuff. My wife decided to pick me up some Clover to stop my complaining our current alternatives. Now I know Clover isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for me, I just love the stuff! Don't get me wrong though, I'm not like the guy in the advert, you know the one I mean, where he is sat at the kitchen table about to have a corn on the cob, and because he ...  Read the complete review

One of my guilty pleasures is hot toast with plenty of butter. However, we all know that butter isn't very good for us so I am always trying to find something that tastes like butter without the fat content. One of my more recent favourites has been Flora Buttery, however it hasn't been on offer as much as I'd like so I have been trying other brands. One such brand includes Clover, which I was surprised to realise that I have never tried it, especially as I found that I really liked it! Packaging: Unsurprisingly, like a lot of brands of margarine and butter, Clover comes in a yellow plastic carton. The one small difference that makes Clover stand ...  Read the complete review
