Product Description
Long before Kerrygold was ever heard of - in fact, as far back as written records go - dairying has played a starring role in Ireland. In the old days, Irishmen kept cattle for milk more than for meat, and status was derived from the bounty of your herd.
How did cows become the cornerstone of Irish wealth? Simple. Ireland was made for milk. It has everything you need to make a cow happy: good soil, a mild climate, moisture-bearing southwesterly winds, and all the green grass you can chew.
It didn't take long to figure out that happy cows produce amazing milk, which can then be churned into unbeatable butter. As early as the 17th century, Ireland was sharing its butter with the world. Irish boats were being met at the dock by salivating Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Frenchmen, Spaniards and American colonists - just as Kerrygold butter is today.
The butter is so appealingly golden that it looks as though it has been colored, although the color is natural, coming from the beta-carotene in the intense green Irish grass consumed by the cows. Made in the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold's higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness. The foil wrapper preserves freshness and premium quality

great butter,

This review is from: Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter - Salted (8 ounce) (Misc.)
This is NOT cooking butter. This is EATING butter. Too good for use in cooking, though you could do that, I just want to taste it directly on toast, biscuits, etc. Regular butter is okay to use in cooking, but this is the Cadillac of dairy products. You haven't lived until you've tried real butter without the processing other butters go through. Enough said, enjoy!

Probably as good as commercial butter gets,
By Chris Luth (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter - Salted (8 ounce) (Misc.)
I just bought this on a lark (not from Amazon), and I was pleasantly surprised: it has a very mild, smooth, creamy taste. At first, I thought that butter was butter, but I did a direct comparison (tasting small slivers of each back-to-back) with the Costco Kirkland Signature butter I had in the fridge, and I have to say the Kerrygold is superior and a lot closer to the fresh, smooth taste I remember spreading on fresh breads at European continental breakfasts.
As a side note, the salted butter really isn't very salty (much less so than the other butter), which (to me) is a good thing, as I'm not much for salty flavors.

There is butter -- and then there is Kerrygold butter,

This review is from: Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter - Salted (8 ounce) (Misc.)
I and my family have been enjoying and eating Kerrygold butter for all our lives, grew up on it, nothing new for us..and Nothing new to those of us that believe eating a proper diet is important. SO why would people buy a margarine or butter "product" with all kinds of stuff in it, when they can buy a true butter? I don't usually cook with this butter because its more of a eating butter, but with that said, I use it on steaks, mushrooms and garlic, grilled cheese, vegi's that have been steamed, egg's, lemon meringue pie etc.. so maybe I do cook with it because I dont have any other butter in my fridge!!! and why should you? Kerrygold is available at Costco, Amazon, Fresh and Easy and other grocery stores, sure you could pay 89. for a 4 stick pack of margarine, but with all the fillers in food these days, stick to what people have been eating for years and years before there were fillers and live nice long lives. Healthy vegi's, meats and poultry, fish once in a while and whatever was in season.
