Boycott Ireland until they accept more Muslim refugees.

>>15346162
absolutely. grass fed cows make the best meat and the best dairy. i outright refuse anything else

>>15346168
why do refugees have to travel to that island?

>>15346162
Don't believe the hype. Buy the GoodValue version.

>>15346162
I mean its ok and as far as I understand probably the best thing avalible in murica
However its pretty much the same as any butter avalible in the uk or Ireland

>>15346162
Kerrygold is like the gateway butter. If you had shit butter all your life and try Kerrygold, yeah it's going to blow your mind but it's not The Best butter, there's many more above Kerrygold but Kerrygold has a nice balance of quality to value. I've been used to garbage butter and fake butter all my life so when I tried Kerrygold the first time I was like "wtf?! This is butter?!" After that I went on an autistic butter tasting journey and realized some of those even better butters aren't worth their cost so this anon >>15346181 makes a good point, you get an incredible value from the generic version of "Irish Butter."

Anyways, has anyone tried Kerrygold's Garlic & Herb Butter? That stuff is sooo fkin good, I use it to baste steak after a nice pan sear for insane flavor or spread it on toast for instant garlic bread.

>>15346178
Because they're homeless due to your white wars.

>>15346237
isn't there enough land at south europe? why they gotta travell across that continent

Kerrygold is good but it ain't Lurpak.

>>15346236
Ok chud

>>15346202
it's pretty good as a normal butter, i like it more than lurpak, but obviously it isnt as good as some of the fancy butters you can get in waitrose/m&s, pic related is my favourite

In regards to baking, there's little difference between butter brands. Just don't use gross margarine.
Disclaimer: I don't buy food products from Wal Mart or any other cheap tier brands.

>>15346280
This butter is phenomenal, they sell it at my local supermarket in Australia and it's quite costly but fuck me it's good, I wish they made huge tubs of it.

>>15346236
Garlic and herb? Why not just add those yourselves?

>>15346423
Where abouts in Australia? I want to try sucking on an uncircumcised guy and really exploring the foreskin with my mouth.

>>15346162
>american butter is so fucking terrible that mass produced irish butter blows everything they produce in lardistan out of the water.
wait til they find out that kerrygold isn't even that good

>>15346439
I'm actually a tranny does that still suit you?

>>15346162
Its bottom of the barrel here in Europe.
You would be made fun of if you served it to guests lol

>>15346237
Ireland has been largely neutral when it comes to foreign wars.

It's my preferred brand. I've also tried the garlic and herb and it's good but I'm not a huge fan of that in general (truffle butter is the exception - a great treat for me before covid when I could splurge and buy some every now and then).

>>15346520

Not really, at least not in the west where nearly ally cows are caged and feed soy.

>>15346162
It is good on brown bread. Very salty. I would not view it as a top tier cooking butter

>>15346162
overrated like most things Irish

>>15347639
It's unsalted if you don't explicitly buy the mutt version as if you're still colonising the wild west without a fridge.

>>15346168
hey could you give me a list of Irish companies to boycott? :^)

>>15346162
Kerrygold is the best stuff out there. Try it for yourself.

>>15346162
Any European-style butter is better than the hard sticks of cheap butter. Some recipes don't work well with it, though.

>>15346236
>Anyways, has anyone tried Kerrygold's Garlic & Herb Butter? That stuff is sooo fkin good, I use it to baste steak after a nice pan sear for insane flavor or spread it on toast for instant garlic bread.
It was on sale for $1.50 a stick recently so I bought 2.

I fucking hate it. The garlic and herb flavor is just sooooo artificial tasting compared to making your own garlic/herb butter with standard kerrygold.

Maybe I'm biased because I have an herb garden and everything is fresh. But it's simply well beyond their premade garlic/herb shit I can never see myself buying it again.

I buy it at Costco. I get 4 packs of it (or 2lbs) for like $10. It IS the best butter I've ever had. When cutting through it you can just tell that it is way different than the other bullshit butter alternatives out there.

>>15348018
Land-o-Lakes isn't bad butter. I get why you'd block out the Essential-Everyday-And-Dutch-Farms, but LoL is fine.

>>15346168
Uh, based?

>>15348276
my problem with LoL is that it's most of the cost of kerrygold, but it just doesn't stand up in comparison.
Sure compared to store brand, LoL is a step above. But it's price is too high to justify it in most cases when compared to president, kerrygold, plugra, etc.

Who the fuck in their right mind thinks it is a good idea to put herbs in pre packaged butter?

>>15348367
morons. I can only assume it was on such a deep sale because they recognize it's a shit product.

It's piss easy to make your own compound butter anyway.

what do you guys think of ghee? is pic related worth it for $10?

>>15348502
I like ghee for frying and satueeing.

It's flavor is a bit different from standard butter though, so depending what you're doing with he ghee some people might notice a nutty flavor they're unaccustomed to.

>>15348522
>with he ghee

>>15346162
the best butter in the world comes from quebec.

>>15346162

>>15346280
lurpak is my 2nd favorite

>>15346302
fuck me those pancakes look good

The best butter is homemade cultured butter. It's super easy. Just add Greek yogurt or cultured buttermilk to some heavy whipping cream and wait for 2-7 days. Then, there's a few different methods to churn it into butter. I used a hand mixer before, but a food processor makes it ridiculously easy. Strain it, and knead the butter in cold water, changing it until the water doesn't become cloudy anymore. Add salt (optional) and now you have the best butter ever. Pic related, my butter.

>Americans think Kerrygold is a premium butter

>>15348502
I only buy it at cotsco, you can get a 2lb jar for less than $20. Go ahead and buy a smaller container first to see if you like it but I use it a fair bit.

Recently bought some good butter, how the fuck do you guys handle spreading it? It's too hard to spread on bread slices or anything.

How is this brand?

>>15346562
Scandis have the top-tier diary and as a result top-tier milk, cream, cheese, ice cream, and of course butter.

>Toast bread in toaster oven until it's almost toasted enough
>place pat of butter on bread

>>15350118
most mainstream butters here are shit tier butter that has some kind of hydrogenated vegetable oil in it, it's disgusting but for many, it's the only butter they know so when they try "real" butter, it's an experience.

>>15350193
imagine if his 19 year old self saw himself in that commercial

>>15350171
for single serving I do this >>15350199
for multiple servings, let a stick sit in room temperature 20-30 minutes before your meal. For extra balla points, use a butter dish

>>15350240
Have considered this, I could possibly just put out some butter on a plate when I wake up, then make myself a cup of coffee and chill for 20 min, then make breakfast. But it's kinda stupid that there is no good solution to this. Might try the microwave at the defrost setting for a few seconds.

>>15350199
I don't have a toaster oven, I have a regular oven which I assume will work the same way. But I don't always want my bread toasted.

Culture butter just tastes like a soft cheese or something, not sure what the point is, I want butter not cheese

>>15350268
>I don't always want my bread toasted
>mfw

>>15350281
I disagree. I think it tastes like more flavorful butter with a slight, pleasant sourness. It's the good kind of funky

>>15348018
Why is there so much polish butter there? Is that normal in the US?

>>15346162
Kerrygold is a great savory butter, good for potatoes, best on potatoes in my Irish opinion but if you want to make anything sweeter you want to go for a nice sweet cream butter. Butters all have their own individual uses and it’s best to know what works best in which dishes.
Not all butters are created equal.

This stuffs pretty good

>>15351048
is english your first language? 'delicate' and 'crunchy' are not mutually exclusive things. as far as adjectives go theyre pretty complimentary

i use it as table butter or if im baking something i want to be really rich

for sauteeing, light frying, greasing up a pan or whatever, i just use supermarket brand butter

On the topic of dairy, is this the best widely available supermarket milk?

>>15346162
kerry gold is the best common butter

It's a little disturbing but not enough to make me stop buying their milk

i buy chocolate milk, pic related is the best ive ever had, never gives me diarrhea unlike most chocolate milks and one time when my fridge broke for like 3 days it was fine at room temperature

>>15350105

>>15346236
but would you use it for baking/cooking?

Im thinking a basic stick of butter is fine for baking. Kerrygold goes on rolls, sandwiches, etc for me

its best for toast/jacket potatoes, lurpak is better for cooking/baking

It's the best balance of "good" and "widely available"

there are butters out there that are 10x better, but they're also niche and hard to find.

I actually don't want to popularize them b/c they cost about the same as kerrygold lol.

>>15352362
>BBC shittedposting
fuck off chang nobody likes brown milk

>>15346162
Personaly i like to buy that amish butter, it come from amish country. Couldnt find it on a map but i doubt theyd lie about that kind of thing on the package

I personally pick up isighy butter if I want to not clarify it. But of course kerrygold is great as well. As a professional though I stay away from overly expensive butter and salted. Mostly because I always clarify and don't want to pay for ghee lol.

>>15346162
I can vouch that it is the best butter I've had.

>buy part cooked baguettes
>cook them till light and golden
>Spread kerrygold on them as soon as they're out the oven

Best way to eat a baguette

Watching americans go fucking nuts over this random specific brand of butter is the weirdest thing. It's just butter, dude. It's just like any other butter you get over here.

>>15354482
because it's clearly better than most other American butter unless you buy from local farms.

Also europoors pretending kerrygold is standard butter is kinda funny. I've been to europe literally half a dozen times, longest time was for 3 months. Ive bought butter from stores in UK, France, and Germany. In ALL of these countries, kerrygold would be considered higher end butter, maybe not the HIGHEST end butter, but it's not the cheap stuff, and it's clearly a step above the "standard" cheap priced butters, especially in the UK.

Dromara butter for norn irons.....

Currently, Ornua operates from 19 subsidiaries worldwide, with pre-packing and blending facilities located in Germany, Great Britain, the United States and the Middle East. A €36m state-of-the-art Kerrygold butter production and packing plant (Kerrygold Park) has been constructed in Mitchelstown, County Cork.

Kerrygold is the second highest-selling butter in the United States and the highest-selling butter in Ireland as of 2019.

>>15348276
That's butter mixed with oil.

>>15350592
It's a Polish deli. They ask if you want a bag in Polish, and call the numbers in Polish.

>>15351089
Yeah, I moved over to butter rolls a while back and haven't regretted it.

>>15350911

REMINDER
All milk is only produced by cows by the routine artificial insemination and birthing of calf's, which are taken away from them after birth, which are often killed after birth. They only produce milk because of routine calf birth and murder. They often call for their calves months after birth to no avail

>>15346162
it taste like butter, looks like margarine, priced like caviar.

>>15352285
chocolate milk in a jug in the store is a completely different beast than any powder or syrup choco milk you can make at home.

>>15354875
its not like those discarded babes go to waste. i guarantee they grind those suckers up and make some dog food and shit out of them

>>15346162
Mediocre. Trader Joe's cultured butter tastes better imo

>>15355609
It's still just shitty chocolate flavoring except it's mixed by a machine instead of by your spoon

>>15346162
A good way to judge butter is by how yellow it is. Kerrygold is nice and yellow, which is what you would expect from grass-fed cows. Most budget butter is not as yellow, so kerrygold is better butter than most.

>>15350105
What animals is that from? I'm thinking of getting a dairy goat when I get enough land for goats

Anyone know if you actually detect differences in baked goods if you use regular american butter vs the higher fat euro butters? Or save the good stuff for spread and top off?

>>15356231
if the item in question relies on the butter for flavor then yeah, better butter makes for a better experience.

There’s no real taste difference between this and Landolakes or even store brand.

>listening to yuros claiming superior milk products
I’ve lived in Britain for six months and their milk sits on unrefrigerated shelves and lasts decades without spoiling. Same thing with eggs. They don’t refrigerate them and sit on the same shelf as ramen noodles. Disgusting.

Friend was arguing that there was no difference between spreads and butter. Asked him to look at ingredients. Butter has 2. Spreads about 20. Some people man

>>15346280

I took your advice and got some and a fresh baguette and it is honestly lovely.

>>15356231
I've had some cookies with a poor texture when using 60% butter, but 82-84% is generally fine for everything. 60% is really only for eating with bread. I got it out of curiosity, but it is not superior.

>>15358756
Who the hell even makes 60% butter?

80% is the minimum to be labeled butter in the US.
> By law, butter must be at least 80 percent butterfat

>>15358803
I think it's meant to be a low-calorie butter, similar to those butter spreads people get. It's fine on bread, but I wouldn't buy it again. It separates into milk and fat when melted then cooled. Perhaps the additional moisture could create more steam for baking pastry dough, but it's not something I've tried. I look for 100 or more calories per tablespoon for the best texture.

>>15346162
I honestly hope this is true because it's one of the cheapest butters I can buy locally. Actually all Irish butters are cheaper than locally produced butters near me which is pretty messed up when you think about it.

What is the appeal of buying nonhomogenized milk? It tastes like a giant mouthful of skim milk with some pieces of gunk floating on top.

>>15356247
Yeah, uht is shit.... Are you in some war torn country? Milk is milk, just cause yer a cheap fuck? Maybe just buy some real milk..... Bet yer merican who doesn't know the language of the country they are in? Grow some balls and learn another language, is that so hard are you all so fucking dumb? I know two languages learning my third, I'm 40 what's yer excuses, amerifags

>>15346162
For something mass-market and easy to find, its probably among the best. Pretty much this>>15348586
>>15353157
This is reasonably easy to find too but I find it has limited uses due the culture, even for spreading.
>>15353220
Not worth the price difference over Kerrigold imo.

>>15350268
>>15350240

ALL you have to do is get your plate you will be eating off of, take thin slices of the butter from the fridge and scrape them off along the edges of the plate and let them sit there while you prepare the meal, or a good ten minutes. it'll spread onto your toast just fine.

>>15346280

>>15346236
my favorite butter is when you scrape out the inside of your whipping cream carton.

>>15350118
Compared to our typical butter it is. European style with the 2% extra butterfat is getting quite popular here.
