Devondale Product Review


Published 4th October 2013


  • Devondale Dairy Soft is Sensational

    Everyone in our household taste tested Devondale Dairy Soft. We love the taste of soft butter; we love butter on crackers; on toast and on sandwiches. The verdict is: We Love Devondale Dairy Soft! It is a soft and delicious spread. It is more expensive that the usual spread; however it is worth the extra cost. Will buy this spread again.

  • Great taste, easy to spread!

    Our family loves Devondale dairy soft spread. It doesn’t contain all the nasties of margerine and is super easy to spread. Also tastes fantastic. Use on toast, sandwiches in baking whatever you normally use butter for.

  • Always soft and easy to spread

    My family are a bit butter mad and this has been passed on to my grand daughter. She will not have margarine on her cheese sandwiches. I found that the Dairy Soft had the same great taste as butter does but not the same problem with spreading. The bread did not tear at all and it passed the test. My grand daughter happily accepted it was butter and mucnhed away.

  • fantastic!

    My family has been using Devondale butters for as long as I can remember.They have such a wide variety, so all the different preferences. My mum gets her full fat, rip your bread to pieces butter, sister gets her light butter and I get my extra light, extra spreadable. No matter what type, it has the beautiful smooth consistency of a good butter.

  • Loved the taste

    The whole family loved the taste. I was surprised at how easy it was to spread too. Everyone commented on how creamy it tasted and wanted to know what butter I had switched to. It is a very reasonable price too. I would recommend this to anyone.

  • Delicious and spreadable

    Devondale Dairy Soft is a welcome addition to the already impressive Devondale brand. Living up to its name, the buttery goodness was very easy to spread and my ever so independent 5 year old daughter enjoyed using it daily to butter her own sandwiches. Devondale Dairy Soft was well received by all members of the family. Will definitely be buying again!

  • Convenience plus same great results!

    Devondale Dairy Soft does spread perfectly on bread straight from the fridge. But what I love most is not having to wait for the butter to soften when I would like to use it for baking. And the wonderful part is that it doesn’t alter the taste or recipe in any way leaving you with the same great results!

    There is no need to wait for it to soften, it spreads easily onto bread, toast and bread rolls, not ripping and tearing and creating any holes.

  • Easily spreadable but still tastes like butter!

    We regularly use the Devondale dairy soft in our house as it is the only one that we feel still tastes like butter but is soft and easy to spread. It does not need to be taken out of the fridge to soften which is required for normal butter and it is kid friendly to.

  • Butter...yum!

    For me, the biggest appeal of Devondale Dairy Soft is how easy it is to spread on plain, simple bread…no holes! It goes on so easy straight from the fridge, no softening is required!
    The taste of Devondale Dairy Soft can’t be all that bad either, considering the number of times I’ve caught the kids licking the knife after spreading the butter on their toast or bread. Devondale Dairy Soft tastes light and creamy, not at all salty or heavy tasting.
    I like using Devondale Dairy Soft and think it’s a great product if you are after a spreadable butter straight from the fridge with no softening required.

  • My favourite dairy spread!

    This is my go-to ‘butter’. It has a delicious flavour, and always spreads perfectly straight out the fridge – even on my freshly baked bread! I always buy this, and I think my family love it a little too much as I’m forever re-stocking! Highly recommend.

  • Delicious taste!

    The Devondale Dairy Soft butter is absolutely delicious! It tastes just like butter straight from the block but is in a convenient tub to easily spread on toast. Sometimes however it can be a little hard to spread on fresh bread. My hubby absolutely loves the taste of it – as does my little guy! It is reasonably priced also.

    In our house we often have crumpets and Devondale dairy soft even tastes good on them. After finding it for the first time on promotion in the supermarket and trying it, the whole family loves it. It is so easy to spread and yet still tastes like real fresh butter.

  • Staple in the fridge!

    Absolutely love Devondale Dairy Soft. After reading year ago what margarine consists of, I’ve always bought butter for spreading or cooking. Sometimes it can be hard to spread though, and rip bread and end up with sandwiches with holes in them. Devondale is soft enough to use straight out of the fridge without waiting for it to melt a little. It also tastes great, so a winner all round!

  • The new normal purchase

    This butter has become the new normal purchase for us. We used to use other brands, either butter or marg, or grab what ever was on special. This is now the only butter we buy. It spreads from the fridge, taste great and is much better for you than marg. Highly recommended

  • No Holes In Bread!

    Devondale Dairy Soft spreads easily straight from the fridge on to your bread – no need to wait for it to soften. It doesn’t taste exactly like butter but, it’s pretty darn close. My family moan when I buy other butter spread as they often end up with holes in their bread. I like using Devondale Dairy Soft and stock up when it’s on sale.

    I like the Devondale dairy soft. It has a nice taste and its so easy to spread on other foods. You can store it in the fridge or pantry but even when in it’s been in the fridge it’s still easy to spread not like other spread where it’s hard and lumpy. Great spread especially for busy mums rushing to make breakfast or lunch in the mornings.

    After reading the reviews by Mom’s community members I decided to try Devondale Dairy Soft. I was able to easily locate this product at my local grocery store. It is more expensive than my usual spread. I will test if over the next few days and see if it passes the family taste test.

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
