Butter is on the grocery list tomorrow. Are there any butters out there that are better than Kerrygold? I'm going to Whole Foods and Kroger(Kroger is a run of the mill regional chain).
>>21693540there are a few domestic grass-fed butters made in the usa but i thought they still had less flavor than kerrygold
Kerrygold has cancer in it, I'd avoid it.
>>21693540Make your own or get it high-quality local. If you can't or won't do that then yeah just get Kerrygold. I make my own butter and I keep a few sticks of kerrygold for when I'm lazy or the quality doesn't matter as much.
I got that fancy french butter and the fancy eye-talian butter and nothing really lives up to the gold, eurolards can suck my americock
Lidl has a bootleg Irish butter which is made by kerrygold
>>21693732You've never got fancy butter and you're a fat yank, there's nothing Irish about you, mystery meat.
>>21693739Kerrygold is fancy though, and of course there's nothing irish about me, do you think america is just boston and longoiland?
I have tried all sorts and honestly can't tell the difference unless it's salted vs unsalted. I think it's all autism
>>21693540today i learned that americans don't put butter on bread, only toast.
Salted Vermonts cultured butter
>she doesn't have access to Jersey butterlmao
>>21693732>eurolards can suck my americockIreland is in Europe, anon. You're just saying you found your favorite European butter.
>>21693757>Kerrygold is fancy though,In Europe it's just 'Meh' tier but Americans swoon over it because of the Irish connection (it's mentioned 3 times on the front packaging) and many 'Amer'cans' like to think they are part irish.Grass fed cattle are the norm in Western Europe and we have a choice. Sucks to be American.
>>21693540They keep raising the god damn price of it.
>>21693985>but Americans swoon over it because of the Irish connectionno, it's because it's the first time a lot of americans tasted proper cultured grass-fed butter. france is renowned for dairy too and if they had started selling better quality french butter here before kerrygold we probably would've loved it just the same.
>>21693994It's sad because there isn't even that much cultured flavor in it. You can easily do better at home but you're right, it's probably the first(and only) cultured butter most of my fellow countrymen will ever taste.
>>21693994I'd rather keep my butter here I prefer eating decent stuff over american money, thank you
>>21693582Yeah wasn't there some scandal with Kerrygold
Lurpak?
>>21694017>France exports butter, but it is also a major importer, meaning it has a trade deficit in butter overall. In 2023, France was the 6th largest exporter of butter globally, sending it to countries like Belgium, South Korea, and China. However, in the same year, it was the largest importer of butter in the world, primarily from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Ireland
>>21693985I swoon over it because it tastes good, sorry the IRA killed your grandpa but everyone knew what a dick he was and he totally deserved it
>>21693540I had some amish butter that was incredible. But I don't know how widely available it is.
>>21693994>no, it's because it's the first time a lot of americans tasted proper cultured grass-fed butter. france is renowned for dairy tooFrench dairy isn't that good to be honest, I think the best dairy comes from the British Isles (including ireland) and the Netherlands. >>21694044Stupid comment but somewhat expected from a mutt. >>21694046I have been to America on many occasions and I have heard similar, I have never tried it myself so I will take your word for it.

https://sporked.com/article/kerrygold-butter-dupe/>Aldi Irish butter is good butter. It has the same yellow color. It is very creamy and spreadable, and it’s roughly as salty as Kerrygold. However, where Kerrygold flavor continues to evolve after the initial punch of saltiness hits you, Aldi just doesn’t. It’s salty, and then it’s just nothing. It ends on a strangely light note that couldn’t compete with the rich, mouth-filling flavor of Kerrygold. It’s not a bad butter, but it ain’t Kerrygold.https://www.thetakeout.com/1920298/aldi-dupes-better-name-brand/>In my side-by-side comparison (licked off a knife and spread on bread), the Kerrygold butter was decidedly softer, smoother, and fuller in flavor. This level of decadence may come from the brand's consistently higher butterfat content of 82 to 83%. According to the ingredient label, Aldi's Countryside Creamery butter contains a "minimum butterfat of 80%." While that's a potentially small difference, it's enough to make Kerrygoldthe betterbutter for baking and all-around enjoyment at the dinner table. It is, however, $1 more.So is it true that Aldi's version of Kerrygold isn't worth the savings?

I want to leave a stick of butter out so I can actually use butter more and have it be soft. I usually only use butter as a cooking fat because it's such a pain in the ass otherwise. But I don't think I can eat butter often enough that a stick I leave out won't go bad. Should I buy salted butter instead? Does it significantly make it last longer? Would rolling the butter in even more salt to coat it like licorice help? I'm not too concerned about sodium intake. I'm in a hot and humid climate. >>21694056>British isle dairyI wish I could get my hands on true clotted cream at a reasonable price and location.
>>21694077you could just leave a smaller amount out that you know you'll use within a few days. salted butter may last a little longer but the water content is the issue, because clarified butter lasts for months without refrigeration.when i want soft butter though i just cut thin slices and wait, they soften pretty quickly for whatever you might want to use it for.
>>21693540Kroger isn't regional, that's just the regional name.
>>21694083Oh right, thank you sir
>>21694077>I wish I could get my hands on true clotted cream at a reasonable price and location.My advice to Americans visiting the UK is to spend a day looking at the tourist stuff in London and then get the hell out of there. I am lucky to live in the South West of England and cream teas (with real clotted cream) are the norm in most pubs and cafes. Look towards Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
>>21694096I want to move to the UK so bad
>>21693540Amish rolled butter
>>21694098lmao, why
>>21694105Just do i have no comprehensible justification that would satisfy anyone asking.
>>21694108fair enough, that seems to describe most anglophiles. absolutely irrational but hey if that's how you feel that's how you feel, it's like how I want to pegged and called racial slurs by a tall butch muscle mommy who looks like the love child of angela bassett and grace jones, does it make sense? probably not but I'm not apologizing or explaining myself
>Americans falling for ads - episode #3807971
>>21694148if you have a fetish for non-rhotic pronunciation and you want to be around decaying buildings just move to west virginia, the economy is better and the standard of living is higher and the people have better teeth plus you can have machine guns
>>21694162This anon is correct. Well, apart from there being large pockets of rhotic pronunciation. Plus there's a lot of grade listed buildings, which are required to maintained. Also the standard of living is actually higher - the country is higher on the human development index. Oh, and as well as that they're listed higher in terms of oral health. The economy thing was just a 'zinger'. But beware, we don't have an abundance of machine guns or bbc bvlls which is likely to be a deal breaker, along with the fact that mobility scooters are fucking expensive here
>go into butter thread>yuro is throwing a tantrum
>>21694018Had to do with a defect in their packaging of the brick ones, something about chemicals in the ink leaching in or whatever. The individual stick ones were fine
Cultured butter is trendy now, it has a higher percentage of butterfat than regular butter. It can get very expensive though.
Reject Fenian butter.Embrace Norman butter
>>21694242kerrygold threads always have this issue
>>21694257>spending more butter per pound than a NY Strip steak
>>21693950This is overlooked. Get this
>>21693540I dont get the difference honestly. Salted or unsalted.I dont have time to give a fuck. Land o Lakes woman for me..
>>21693540Truly Grass fed and Danish creamery
>>21694018They had cancer'causing chems in the nonstick part that touched the butter and it leeched in. They claimed they fixed it but they failed several more tessts. Since then they just paid the media not to talk about how their butter causes cancer.

thanks to you incels I got Finlandia butter this time. it is also good and slightly cheaper
>>21694246You are mistaken. The sticks were leaking PFAS not the bricks.>The items affected by the packaging change are: Kerrygold salted butter sticks, UPC 00767707002149, any best buy date > Kerrygold unsalted butter sticks, UPC 00767707002156, any best by date.
>>21693540Kerrygold is not 100% grass fed. It contains GMO s0i. Educate yourself.The real grass fed products say "Grass Fed And Finished" on the label.
>>21693930False.
>>21693540>Are there any butters out there that are better than Kerrygold?Whole Foods, and other grocers too, will sell regionally available dairy sources, so other than Lurpak and whatever higher butterfat choice, if you see anything that says "cultured butter" which will have a fresher tang in the taste when you smear it across your fresh bread.
>>21696511Snigger
>>21696507Not sure what you saw but non of my KG has soy listed as an ingredient.
>>21696533I don't think you need to list what you've feed the animal
The green box kirkland stuff is pretty high quality. Not much mystery to butter though... it's just milk fat.
why not make your own butter,yogurt, cheese from raw milk?
carnivores like vital farms butter
>>21693968Yes but I'm "liking it wrong" because apparently I'm only allowed to enjoy Le Beurre d'Isigny-sur-Merde DOCG because kerrygold is too ordinary for you fucks and it belongs in the trash
>>21697161Commercial butter has economies of scale, getting the same yield using heavy cream bought at retail markup isn't worth it.
Huh. Today I learned Kerrygold is actually cultured. Tastes like every other butter on the store shelves and nothing like the cultured butter I made at home.
>>21695169came to make sure this got posted after I saw the op
>>21695169I have never seen a single one of the names listed
>>21693930You have no idea what you're talking about. American cuisine is a generic pastiche of European traditions married to New World ingredients, and "bread & butter" is such a basic combination that it entered the lexicon as a phrase meaning something essential and foundational. Granted, there was a time when most Americans were eating heavily processed/fortified white bread with margarine instead of butter (it was cheaper and marketed as "healthier," though perhaps just a remnant of wartime rationing), but bread & butter is still a staple of white suburban American life. We don't eat it at every meal, but it is essential to any formal meal. If you ever attend an American Thanksgiving meal, perhaps the most American meal of all, you will find that warm buttered rolls or biscuits are nearly as essential as the turkey and potatoes. (If you happen to find yourself at an alleged Thanksgiving meal without buttered bread, then they're probably serving Flamin' Hot Cheetos Mac & Cheese instead and you should check your wallet before leaving.) I'm aware of the "no true scotsman" thing but please don't get your information from pajeets and zoomers. If you come to my house, you'll get bread and butter,The only really notable difference is sandwiches. Whereas a British sandwich will start with buttered bread, an American will instead use mayonnaise as the sandwich lubricant of choice. Both situations are unfortunate, because the Britbong is probably using Lurpak, and the Amerishart is probably using supermarket mayo, both of which are mostly sneed oils. But it is a notable difference, and since watching Sir James May OBE's groundbreaking documentary on British sandwiches, I (as an American) have started reconsidering my sandwich assembly: instead of mayo, would butter be better? The mind boggles, but the tongue rejoices either way.t. ChatGPT
For me it's Earth Balance vegan spread
try some Westgold. it's New Zealic
>>21697747>"Earth Balance">CanolaOilFactory.divx
I really don't eat butter enough to warrant getting anything but regular-ass butter from costco that spends most of the time in the freezer.
>>21697742>Lurpak>mostly sneed oilsI will not take this slander.
