It's better, but if you can get Vital Farms that's even better

>>19519427
>or does it actually taste superior?
that would depend on what you're comparing it to. it tastes better to me than most butter i've had in the usa. grass-fed dairy just has a better flavor and most dairy in the usa is grain-fed.

I told everyone how good it was after I started buying it. Then my girlfriend informed me I had been eating great value butter from our butter bell for the last two weeks and didn't even realize it

So I'm probably retarded and it's not as huge a difference

>>19519453
Also I made up this whole story

>expensive meme butter
Is kerrygold considered high-luxury in America? That's really sad. It's decidedly average butter by W.European standards.

Really high-end butter is worth killing a man for and kerry ain't it.

Kerrygold is softer and imo tastier than really cheap butter, and that's good enough to make it worth buying over shit-tier butter if you have money. It's probably not the best, but I never had super expensive butter.

>>19519461
Kerrygold is "premium mediocre" butter aka "the more expensive brand that's available in your local store and advertised to you".

>>19519427
You can get better local butter in most grocery stores these days.

>>19519475
>premium mediocre
Yeah, expected as much.

Not sure why you'd make a thread flexing how much of a poorfag you are because you don't wanna spend a few extra cents on brand-named butter.

We've been too cocky bros.

Americans seem to be obsessed with this stuff and I don't know why. It's extremely mid compared to virtually any other non-blended butter available here. Still better than the shit brands containing veg oil, but otherwise very unremarkable.

>>19519427
good but expensive. best choice in most chain grocery stores. i can find plugra in most places and i think its just as good and always cheaper. none of that shit compares to beef tallow or even ghee tho desu

>>19519596
>Americans seem to be obsessed with this stuff and I don't know why.
Most butter in the USA is from grain-fed cows which makes it less flavorful. Kerrygold is probably the first grass-fed butter most of them have tasted, and it's widely available.

It also depends on what you're using it for. If you're using it for cooking I don't notice much of a difference, but if you're just putting it on bread then it's a lot better than most other brands.

>>19519427
It tastes better than sweet cream butter. Most grass fed butters taste pretty damn good, this one is just widely accessible and you can get it for a reasonable price at Costco.

>>19519453
Yeah, it would have been more believable without the gf part.

>>19519427
incredibly mediocre butter and literal dogshit tier in eu
when will americans learn?

>>19519427
Better than what? Margarine? Absofuckinglutely. Land o Lakes? Indeed it does. Vermont butter? About the same. I'm sure there are fancier butters that mog it, but I'm not a butter expert.

Butter flavor only matters when directly applying to bread/toast. When cooking with it, you aren't going to notice much of a difference, with exception of the fake butters out there. Or maybe a 2-3 ingredient recipe where the ingredients all shine through.

much better than any other nation wide brand. even when money is tight i buy it over the generic, its really noticeable.

>>19519427
It's breddy gud..
But NOTHING will compare to RAW milk you shake up in a 2 QT. jar with a liddle salt.

>>19519912
>1. RAW Cream-top milk
>2. Salt
Shake well...

>>19519503
Not sure why you think your opinion matters when you live in Europe.

>>19519608
>but expensive
how expensive is it in america? I always get two or three for 1.29€-1.59€ on sale and these sales are so frequent you don't ever have to pay the regular price unless you're retarded

>>19520025
it's also worth mentioning that it's 250g in europe and the smaller 227g package looks a bit funny

>>19519427
it actually taste superior

>>19520025
It's about 2x the price of cheap butter. Something like $3-4/lb for store brand generic, same price for half that quantity of Kerry
>>19519912
This, waste of money for cooking

Personally I've bought KG, Vermont, and other premium butters. I make my own bread and eat toast frequently. It's better than walmart brand but not some orgasmic transcendent experience

>>19519933
You're brown.

>>19520057
so it's 2-3x more expensive in europe

>>19520076
*than in europe

>>19520076
No you retarded nigger, you're comparing a sale price to the non sale price. In EU kerrygold is probably modestly cheaper as there's not shipping and tariffs to contend with

>>19520058
blew that goblino the fuck out

>>19519427
I grew up eating Country Crock, until one day my mom start bringing home some, i dunno, government butter? It was big blocks of butter in a generic packaging. Having real butter for the first time was amazing.
Anyway... I've tried Kerrygold, it's good nothing special. Picrel is logical, practical, manly choice.

>>19520380
>salted
The retard has retarded taste in butter. Shocking.

If I'm going to get salted butter, I'm going to get that spreadable butter for my toast. I like to add my own salt to recipes so I don't end up gagging on all of the sodium.

>>19520386
What's wrong with salted butter? Why would anyone ever want butter without salt in it?

>>19520397
How much butter are you cooking with, yikes. Just don't add more salt? Why are you so proud of being snotty and petulant?

>>19520408
>Why are you so proud of being snotty and petulant?
That's normal cooking behavior.

>spending $4 on 230g butter
lmao just buy a half gallon of heavy cream and make a pound of butter it'll be exactly the same

>>19520419
>spending $4 on 230g butter
>lmao just buy a half gallon of heavy cream and make a pound of butter it'll be exactly the same
Half gallon of heavy cream: $7.50 before taxes.
$4 on 230g butter.
BTFO

>>19520514
The half gallon of heavy cream gets you twice as much butter for less than twice the price though.

Whatever happened to grass fed butter? There were memes about its health benefits years ago but I never see it in stores anymore.

>>19520663
Grass fed is largely marketing. Grass fed could mean grass finished ie ate grass only 3 days before being milked for milk or killed for meat. Now they are starting to change that but not sure status of any laws. Real grass fed means exclusively while grass finished is just what I said.

Here in finland butter is just butter and old people go out and buy margarine because if a fat is solid in room temp that means its going to be solid in your veins and cause a health problem.

>>19520753
why are finish people injecting butter into their veins

>>19520761
they put it in food that goes into the digestive system and the fat is absorbed into blood through the intestine walls

>>19519461
Most if not all US manufactured butter is hydrolyzed. Mesning the more water they can trap in the fat the cheaper they can sell it, and if they can add seed oil and call it a healthy alternative you know who the market is. Kerry butter is very good for real Un hydrolyzed cow fat.

>>19519596
It's mid compared to the generic brand from a decent grocery store. I think people like it because it's foreign and comes in foil packaging instead of waxed paper in a box.

How do you feed grass to butter anyway?

>>19520397
>spreadable "butter"

>>19520753
>98.6F is room temprature

>>19520711
The area in Ireland where there's vow graze if full of grass. Kerry hold is a great way to get your dose of vitamin K. Which is lacking in most diets.

Lurpak is the butter standard.

>>19519461
>Is kerrygold considered high-luxury in America
it's mid, one step up from fucking Lurpak
high-luxury is organic grass-fed local specialty stuff you'd never have heard of

>>19520753
>butter solidifies at 36C
>>19520775
>butter passes through intestinal walls into veins in the same form it goes in one's mouth

Finnish education, lmao

>>19519427
You can make your own fresh butter that will blow your mind. Ever wonder why bakeries are so good? Homemade butter.

>>19521176
lol nope
"your own fresh butter" will cost about two to three times the price of regular butter
my friend's a baker and she uses Kerrygold

>>19519427
People in the US like it because it comes from Europe and therefore it’s gotta be some fancy delicacy. There is zero nuance between keerygold and American butter, anyone who swears otherwise is trying way too hard to be cultured

>>19519427
Out of all the ones you can get at a supermarket it is probably the best. Tastes more buttery. Anchor in comparison is totally bland.

>>19519912
This isn't true, it tastes better when cooked too, I've tried and tested it.

>>19519427
More microplastics than a tub of country crock puts this meme butter in the goyslop category.

Id stay away desu

>>19519427
It's a considerable step up from regular grocery store butter in that it's cultured and grass fed. Costco sells the approximate equivalent or superior for a better price tho, as they always do.
