Hi Meagan, I get it at "Spud Shed" in Baldivis. They don't have it all the time and when they do, you need to beat me to it lol

that Harvey Fresh cream can also be bought at The Herdsman, Wembley

[faffa_70]

in 2 litre bottles CP63? That is what everyone is chasing lol. I know the 500ml I think it is in the plastic jug ( ) type thingy is available at a lot of places, it is very nice but not economical with a family my size

[Meagan]

Thanks CP I will check out the herdy next time I am over that way

Looks like they only do 2lt,10lt and 20lt lots LOL 20LT would make you a whole lot of butter

20 litres would be fantastic! Just spend the day making and freezing butter lol...Would suit me perfectly 

[Meagan]

Kathryn I sent HF an email asking if they could let me know which stores stock their 2Lt cream will let you know when/if I hear back from them 

[faffa_70]

LOL Meagan, we just did the same for all the sizes! They will have a heart attack and wonder what is going on 

[CreamPuff63]

Jeez no not 20 litres!!! I can check it out tomoz but it is going to be no more than 2l at the very most... less even

LOL Meagan, we just did the same for all the sizes! They will have a heart attack and wonder what is going on 

LOL they might wonder if they are being stalked..... LOL

Please contact Harveyfresh direct. They may be a little scared (being country people) though after milking, and then coming in and finding alll these queries world wide.

If Harveyfresh want to contact me for extra help, being a country girl, I am going to try to go the extra step cos I know whatever I can help with a leg up! Iwill also enjoy too so please give me every opportunity...

Thanks CP63, I am actually only about an hours drive from Harvey Fresh and if I could get it in the 20 litres even direct from them it would be worth my drive!! Meagan is also from Perth and I think she is interested in buying cream in the 2 litre bottles. The butter freezes really well and it is easy to make in large batches. I only ever make it that way. Very very rare for me to just make a small batch, only if the cream is still frozen lol

I do my butter in a double batch - 1.2L of cream - beat till it's butter (it's cold, and double, so takes longer).  Then pour off the buttermilk into a strainer over a funnel into a glass jar labeled "buttermilk" (so they don't have it on their brekky).  Then add water, wash 20 seconds.  Strain (using the strainer, into the sink).  Add water and wash again.  Then I add 2 scant teaspoons of himilayan sea salt (the pink one) and whizz on about speed 5 or 6 for 30 seconds. 

When it's done, the salt is fully mixed through, any water remaining has come away and the butter just slides out into the container.

I do the 2L bottles (normally 2 or 3 of them at a time) and freeze the butter in containers.  It defrosts beautifully.  We keep our butter on the bench, covered, day and night most of the year and it doesn't go rancid or melt.

Bel, I do 900ml of cream, I found any more than that the butterfly was jamming when it started to turn to butter...have you had any problems like that?

Do you think the small amount of salt removes the water or just the mixing through with only the butter in the bowl and no liquids?

Mine lives on the bench day and night most of the time as well after it has come out of the freezer. I love it

I like the looks of those butter bells, but judging by the pics they look tiny -- more like a pat of butter. Don't think they would be captible with our summer days, but would like to have a go at trying them out if the cost wasn't so prohibitive.

I liked the look of them too CP63 but also thought they were small and my lot would bowl over what was in them and more in one breakfast sitting!!
