It depends upon what you think is healthier. The butter has more saturated fats and less omega 6 polyunsats. The spread has lots of canola (rapeseed) oil which I think should not be in the human diet. I have no problems with saturated fats being in my diet. Butter has many other healthy chemicals that are not in olive oil or canola oil. When I pan fry foods, I usually use a mix of butter and olive oil.
