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

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!

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.

Honestly, you can't even compare anything else to this butter.
I first tried it when I lived in Virginia. There's a chain of grocery stores there called Farm Fresh that carry it, and on a whim I decided to try it after seeing it being sampled on various types breads they had in the store. I tried it on the Irish soda bread, and absolutely fell in love with it. It tastes so incredible on everything you use it on, or in, and especially so on Irish soda bread. With the Irish soda bread, it's about as close to eating a supremely delicious cake as you'll ever get. I would buy this stuff as a treat, not to cook with. Eat it with bread, and you'll have the whole tub eaten within a few days. Definitely try it with Irish soda bread.. you'll never eat bread and butter the same way again.

Who could have imagined, save for a farmer?
It was on sale, so I thought I had nothing to lose. I was wrong; I had only my desire to ever buy any other butter product again! Read more

I thought I was buying the tub of easily spread butter, although the flavor was great. How do you choose the tub instead?

Butter is butter, you say? I was skeptical, too, but when I read about the health benefits of grass-fed cows' butter, I had to find out for myself. Read more

the best butter on earth
It's rich and soft even while cold. That's because it's from cows 100% grassfed year round. This makes different kids of fat. For example, it's higher in CLA. Read more

Kerrygold butter is made in the United States under licence. There is a difference between the butters from each side of the Atlantic.
