Okay, I'll bite - what makes Kerry Gold butter better?

And I will swing by my local Food Lion to pick some up.

I bought it at Costco. Did a blind taste test with LandOLakes butter. I literally could not taste the difference. I guess the placebo effect is strong for some people.

TASTE

You'll have to try it to see for yourself. Kerry Gold in the tub also seems to spread more readily.

A couple of months ago, a local Walmart was selling the 8oz Kerry Gold stick for $!.00! Although I prefer the tub, I grabbed eight sticks at $1 stick.

At my Costcos I've only seen the 2lb 4-brick box, salted and unsalted.

The first time I bought some, it was $8.xx a box.

Don't remember how much I paid for the second two boxes.

For me, it has a richer taste, more 'buttery' than any I've tried, though they haven't previously shopped 'high-end' butters.

It's something like comparing whole milk to the imposter wannabes, or butter to margarine.

But then some people think butter and margarine taste the same, and that non-whole milk tastes better than whole.

No accounting.



I guess the placebo effect is strong for some people.

Or the ability to discern the difference is weak for you.


Somebody (here?) said the Kirkland brand was very good as well.

Obviously, most if not all Kirkland products are rebranded products, so somebody else is making their butter.

I don't know that a deal like that would benefit kerrygold.

The Kirkland butter definitely is NOT from Kerrygold - it isn't nearly yellow enough. My guess would be Land O Lakes or some other Tier 1 butter manufacturer.
