Only “predominantly grass-fed!
I have been a Kerrygold customer for years, both in the states and Ireland. I would say that over the last five or so years, the butter has changed dramatically.
It seems that they have messed with the product resulting in a very different consistency. Maybe more butterfat is being removed, I don’t know. What I do know is that the butter “glues” itself to the knife when it is sliced, this never happened in past years and seems more problematic with the butter exported to the states. Also the wrappers in the states are very weak and tear easily, unlike in Ireland. So just what they sending to the states?
The HUGE (one star) issue is that the product claims to be from grass-fed cows. Now their website states that the milk the butter is made from is from cows fed a predominantly grass-fed diet, with no information on what else the cows are being fed, a BIG red flag!!! To me that means the butter is not a legitimate grass-fed product!
So I will now be sourcing my butter from a farmer in the states that I trust.
