Becel salted plant based bricks
I received a free sample of the Becel salted plant based bricks. I baked cookies with my sample and was very happy with the results. The taste and texture was the same as butter. The only negative comment was the fact that my sample was salted and I normally use unsalted butter. I found it a bit more difficult to adjust the amount of salt but would definitely recommend the product as a great substitution to butter.
There are better alternatives
I received this product a try for free in exchange for my honest review. I am not vegan or vegetarian but I do try to avoid dairy when possible because my skin hates it. This product is a plant-based butter substitute. In regular terms, it’s margarine. While it is convenient to have in stick or block form, the taste of this is just average. It has a bland/ stale aftertaste when you eat it on its own. Think of the taste of old oil. You can tell that it is an oil based product. The pros: it has a nice amount of salt to it, it melts normally, it’s easier to measure out when baking vs in tub form, and it bakes well overall. I just think for the price, it doesn’t taste as good as other margarines on the market. I don’t think I’d buy this in the future.
Just the same
I would first off like to say thank you for the family rated for sending me this product to review. That does not change my opinion. Overall I’m very happy with this product. To me it taste pretty much the exact same as regular becel butter. I actually ended up using this and baking and I don’t think anyone really noticed a difference I do find it easier to measure out exactly what is needed with the bricks. I am super happy with this product and I will definitely buy
Impressive!
Having banned dairy from our home a couple of years ago, we have been eating Becel's vegan margarine for a while. When I saw that they were launching this non-dairy butter, I immediately went to the grocery store and got myself one for 4$. The taste is awesome! Very very similar to butter and way better than margarine. I totally recommend it and I'm glad such a product is so affordable yet so good!
Taste great!!
Thank you for the opportunity!!
I really like this product. But on the shelf, keep in mind that it’s not easy to find a package that is Not damaged. I need to look for the whole box to find one without damaged foil with the current situation. Kind of hesitated for awhile but I was lucky to find one without the product inside exposed. Overall taste great, but I find it a little more expensive than the other ones out there.
Bevel plant based unsalted butter
I purchased both the brick and the sticks. All were used in baking or frying. The butter is not more expensive than other brands. The brick or the stick works well for lemon curds, banana breads and buttery graham cracker crust. I would purchase again.
Wasn’t for me
If you like margarine you will enjoy this product. I was hoping this would have a more buttery flavour so it wasn’t for me. It had the consistency I would expect from butter or margarine And spread well on toast/waffles, etc... my son who is lactose free enjoys it, so we will continue using it on his foods but was hoping to find something the whole family enjoyed to minimize how many “special” products I have to buy just for him.
Very pleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of the plant based Becel bricks.
I've used it multiple times in cooking and baking and even melting it on top of corn.
I don't even miss butter much! My kids haven't noticed a difference.
I really like that it's spread easily even if kept in the fridge but at the same time it's firm enough.
It has a smooth texture and a yummy taste. I tried the salted one and even purchased one after I was done with the free one !
Great for the whole family
My family that is normally very fussy about what I put on toast or sandwiches didn't even notice the difference!! One child said that dinner was extra buttery.
Great taste!
I would totally buy this again! I love Becel to begin with so this is just great! It is so easy to work with and I love the flavour as always. Highly recommended.
