I'm sorry but I can't agree with that, if you take Walmart store brand great value butter, let it soften and put it on a cracker next to a cracker with kerrygold butter on it, I will be able to tell the difference every time.

Bullshit, I live in northern virginia and there is an abundance of local farm butters available if I want to pay for it.

Hell it's even cheaper than kerrygold. Kerrgold is ~$8.50-9/lbs near me, I can get farm butter for ~$6-8/lbs

You can't get this at a supermarket. This is a butter that can only come from taking good care of livestock and use that livestock to take good care of the land. It's butter like this which is why I fled the city and took up homesteading. No dairy animals yet, as I have just started (got ducks though), but I am getting in contact with more and more local farmers and I have gotten the best eggs I have ever eaten!
This is also from raw cream. I have made butter from raw cream before but it wasn't summer milk so it wasn't this dark. It was darker and more flavorful than supermarket butter though.

Cant wait to get some cows though!

[Anonymous No.14297959]

kerrygold is fine but it's not worth the price of import because you can get much better quality local butter for less

The eggs I get are from a mix of birds. I saw easter eggers, Rhode islands, longhorns, buff orpingtons, plymouth rock, australorps, and many others. They had gorgeous shiny feathers and hung out with stunning roosters, going wherever they pleased. The eggs were of many sizes, implying that some of these eggs come from a variety of ages. Which I think is great, the eggs from older birds are much bigger.

I paid 2.50 a dozen but frequently will get a couple dozen for free since I buy in bulk (usually buying her entire stock), have familial connections, and always return the cartons.

I know you have a hate boner for kerrygold because it gets shilled here. But come on, you're an ACTUAL retard if you think the store brand butter for €1.80 is better than kerrygold.

Yes, there IS much better butter available more easily in europe compared to the US, that doesn't make Kerrygold shit tier and you look like an idiot what you say that because anyone who has lived in europe for even a short period of time knows you're full of shit.

I didn't mean to start a war here. kerrygold is just honestly the best butter I've ever had and I was wondering if there were other options that were even better. I have since received that information so I don't understand why you guys are going to sit here and argue about semantics

European here, Kerrygold is honestly pretty good. I don't know if it's the same quality in America but if it is then it's absolutely fine butter. Of course you can get better, and much better, but you can certainly get much worse.

[Anonymous No.14298488]

>>14298482
Even in the US, you can get better. It's just readily available at most stores and is a step above the store-brand and similar shit butters.

Amish butter, local farm butter, some imported french butters, etc will be better.

And yes, kerrygold is identical in the US and Europe, at least the US and the UK, i haven't been to the rest of europe.
