Is there even a big difference between Lupark and Kerrygold butter? The latter is 4x the price of Lupark and I dont wanna feel like a dummy choosing an overtly expensive one just because its slightly better.

Will Kerrygold blow me away?

[Anonymous No.16024121]

yes, there's a reason kerrygold is so expensive.

if you knew anything at all about dairy cows you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question

Id also like to know how the President butter stacks up against these two. My country isnt exactly known for its butter, so Ive never really had good stuff, but when I changed from margarine to the real stuff I was shocked.

Indeed, but I don't know. Thats why I'm asking this question, you meanie.

I haven't had Presidente, but private Selection has an imported French butter that I've tried that is pretty good. LoL European style isn't bad either. Kerrygold is the best one I've had so far but I do want to try Presidente, Suegra and Vital Farms. I think we also have a Vermont one among our higher end butters. I usually try to grab new ones to try when they're on good sales and put them in the freezer until I'm done with the pound (or half pound) I currently am using. I don't even know what lupark is but if kerrygold is 5x the price then I'm guessing a margarine.

Is lupark even available in america? I've never seen it

Not him but cows and other ruminant animals use grass as their primary food. They're called ruminants because they have a sort of second stomach called a "rumen" which turns grass into protein. Most cows today are fed grass briefly during childhood, but then are switched to a corn based diet since that's cheaper, and on a lot of farms there simply isn't enough grass to keep up with the demand for beef and dairy. However, cows don't digest corn very well. It makes them bloated, gassy, etc, and they don't get the right micronutrients from it. Their feed is injected with nutrient supplements but there's very strong evidence that supplements aren't absorbed very well. This being the case, it's easy to conclude that cows raised on corn are of lesser quality than those raised on grass, since the latter will be healthier and have a richer nutrient profile. I can imagine you'd prefer to eat a healthy cow than a bloated one.
Kerrygold is advertised as being made from grass fed cows. Lurpak is not

I had no idea corn was the prevalent feed for cows. I thought it was 50/50 grass and various seeds. Then there must be a huge difference between kerrygold and most big butter companies. Thank you for the explanation.

Buy and see for yourself. Is a brick of butter such an investment?

[Anonymous No.16024957]

>>16024375
Okay but is there any evidence that butter from grass fed cows makes dishes significantly better than butter from corn fed? And by what metrices is that conclusion drawn?

Buy what suits your taste and budget.
I like kerry gold but to each their own.

[Anonymous No.16025052]

>>16024114
Lurpak and kerrigold is the same level. Maybe kerrigold is imported in us? They're the same price in bongland

[Anonymous No.16025233]

I thought Kerrygold was a dumb meme but costco regularly puts them on sale so I snatched one up. Blew me away how rich the butter is. The cheaper brands tasted watered down compared to it.

[Anonymous No.16025254]

What do you guys do to your butter?
Even the cheap butter here is still, y'know, butter

[Anonymous No.16025475]

Not a shill. I do hate niggers
>>16024957
No clue and I wouldn't really care if there was. For me it's more about the nutritional aspect

[Anonymous No.16025504]

>>16025254
I don't think it's what everyone else does to their butter it's whatever kerry gold does differently to theirs. It might just be because it's the most available grass fed butter brand

[Anonymous No.16025527]

>>16024957
Have you never compared the taste of grassfed and grain/corn-fed butters side by side? If not you should definitely give it a try when you have a few extra dollars laying around, there really is a substantial difference. Butter is one ingredient I will never feel bad about spending the extra money on ever again.

[Anonymous No.16025538]

>>16025504
Kerrygold here is just butter, just like every other butter. It's of reasonable quality but it's not particularly exceptional.

[Anonymous No.16025797]

>>16025538
Are all european butters from grass fed cows then? I assume many mainstream american butter brands are from grain fed cows since they all have a flat flavor

[Anonymous No.16025835]

>>16024114
Kerrygold is bottom of the barrel here, might as well eat margarine lol.
Most people would be ashamed to serve it.

Here in the Netherlands most dairy cows are on pasture most of the year, about a quarter of their diet are high protein supplements from soy/corn-byproduct/whatever. I assume the same is true for Kerrygold cows.

It's changing though, factory farming is putting more and more cows in stables around the year.

[Anonymous No.16025898]

Kerrygold or this?

[Anonymous No.16026093]

I use low quality butter for my buttercream frosting because the low beta carotene in the cheap butter makes the resulting buttercream whiter
