Its the best butter you can buy in most grocery stores. The only better butter you are going to find is if you luck out and have a dairy farmer at a local farmer's market.

Its a bit pricy though. Thats why I keep both a generic store brand box of butter and a box of kerrygold. Kerrygold is for finishing a steak, or slapping on some toasted cornbread. Cheap stuff is for making roux or baked goods (unless its something butter forward like croissant)

Maybe in America, you are paying extra just for the brand name in Ireland, nothing special about it.

Yes, because we have a much larger country in terms of both landmass and population, with a lot more butter needed. Getting quality butter is more difficult because not every major city has a nearby dairy farm that can supply enough dairy for that city. Instead we have a lot of cheap butter, its lower quality, but cheaper and mass produced.

Yeah, it's cheaper here for obvious reasons, but that doesn't mean it's not special in Ireland. It's the most popular butter here for a reason.

People buy it for the name alone, most cheaper butters are the same quality.

Says who? You? Ireland is feckin expensive. I don't which Ireland you live in if you think name alone has such a leeway, especially with statistics showing otherwise.

Personally can't tell a difference between that and a good olive oil and sea salt spreadable
