The Real Difference Between Irish Butter And Regular Butter

A kitchen is not complete without butter. We use it for so many things, like frying, sautéing, and simply spreading it on bread. However, if you are a true lover of butter, you know that bland American varieties of butter just won’t cut it.

Kerrygold butter, the most famous brand of Irish butter, is the way to a richer and creamier experience whenever you have toast. It also has the perfect balance of sweet and salty tastes, and it is the definition of smoothness.

What makes Irish butter so delectable? Here’s the real difference between Irish butter and regular butter.

What's your favorite kind of butter?

This is paid advertising, right? I like Kerrygold, but... Romanian butter from the hills is great. Slovenian butter in the north is freaking amazing. French butter like Bordier is otherworldly. I've had grass-fed high-water-content milk in California from a local farm that was the sweetest, most beautiful tasting butter ever. In my experience, it's corporate industrial vs small producer.

I was stunned when I saw the pastures in Ireland. They are definitely different. Here in the Midwest the cattle are constantly grazing and yes our grass is mostly dead grass. The cows in Ireland and the sheep were actually napping. My theory was that they were satisfied by the grass they ate so they didn’t have to graze constantly, the Irish livestock could relax and not work so hard to eat. The grass in Ireland was so thick, green and lush looking that I almost wanted to eat it.

I stayed in a B & B in Blarney while doing some work and research with The Irish Farmers Association for a number of years a little over 10 years ago. Ireland is like my second home. I was introduced to Kerry Gold and mentioned it to my wife when I returned. With the exception of some Amish and general stock butter used in some baking recipes, Kerry Gold is the only butter that graces our table these days. I have also had other brands of Irish butter long with Scandinavian, and those are good as well. ...but we prefer Kerry's. Their cheeses are excellent too, but can be pricey depending on where you shop.

I love Kerrygold butter and cheeses. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive here in the US.

Betty bought some butter, but it made her batter bitter. So she bought some better butter, put it in her bitter batter, made her bitter batter better.

sounds like a kindergarten teacher is reading a story to 5-year-olds.

Grass fed butter is also a source of vitamin K2, which grain fed cows don't produce. Vitamin K2 is necessary for activation of transport proteins that move calcium out of your blood and into bones where it belongs. It also activates transport proteins that take calcium out of soft tissues, like arteries, where it doesn't belong.

Not sure if this is a paid endorsement from Kerrygold..? I sold charcuterie products for almost 10 years. Retired now. Kerrygold offers the most quality butter and cheeses for the money. I have never been disappointed by any of their products.

I lived in Germany for a few years and have traveled throughout Western Europe and America gets the brown end of the stick when it comes to a LOT of foods such as butter, eggs, milk and cheese. Kerrygold's cheder cheese taste 1000x better than any American brand and will fit it into my budget whenever I can.

Oh, Mashed, please get with the science... saturated fats are not bad for you, . Butter is actually pretty darn healthy.

Kerrygold is the only butter I buy. I don't want the soy feed cow garbage. Grass fed is best.

Ive been using Kerry gold for about a year now. Having had a heart attack 3 years ago my cholesterol has lowered but very slowly. But since I changed to Kerry gold grass fed butter it now in a normal range. I haven used less butter either. Only thing I really changed to get it lower was brand of butter. And it is very tasty!

[sandraweilbrenner]

Not only butter, kerrygold cheese ia amazing

[M.C.Blackwell]

I didn't know anything about butter and just happened to start buying Kerrygold a few years ago and its so delicious. I also found some butter from Italy at Costco and that was also great. If you have a chance definitely buy Irish butter or European butter

[clearprop]

Ever since i found and switched to Kerry Gold i am so much happier.

[paulg]

This butter is the best around IMO. American butters are no where near this. One thing that was missed, it's got K2. This is an essential vitamin that most people aren't aware of and are lacking.

[kHoPhAe]

I don't care how broke I am, I always buy Kerry Gold

[trentBowie]

I just tried Kerrygold Irish butter for the first time. And I absolutely love it! I tasted a sliver and it melted in my mouth bursting with delicate flavor! *chef's kiss*

[mogeorge]
