Overview

• A 250-gram pack of German own-brand butter drops by 20 cents to €1.79, roughly a 10 percent reduction.
• Lidl initiated the move with its third price cut of 2025, and Aldi Nord, Aldi Süd, Edeka, Rewe, Netto, Norma and Penny followed.
• It was not immediately clear whether Kaufland would match the new price level.
• Lidl cites cheaper raw materials for the reduction and is also lowering related items, including organic butter to €2.99 and its vegan alternative to the same price as butter.
• Retail prices have been easing since February after hitting €2.39 in October 2024, when smaller milk volumes and lower fat content linked partly to bluetongue disease pushed costs higher.
