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

Comments about Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter:

I had become very dissatisfied with American butter, which was watery when melted, and no longer seemed to taste like I remembered from childhood. On a short trip to England, I tasted the most fabulous butter in a restaurant. When I later returned for a longer visit, I tried every butter I could get my hands on. This was the absolute BEST! I'm so thrilled to be able to get it in the States.

Comments about Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter:

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 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 bought this butter as a treat, not to cook with. Eat it with bread, and you'll have the whole tub eaten within a few days. You'll never eat bread and butter the same way again.

A pure hunk of delight.
