I'm baking all the time and just bought both butters from Costco last Friday. The Kirkland has 11g butter fat KerryGold 14g. I like the Kirkland butter for ghee because I can get it salt free. The KerryGold makes the best icing for cakes. Both butter are great for baking so I go for the less expensive Kirkland since I can't taste the difference. I wish the USA would have higher food standards like New Zealand and outlaw high fructose corn syrup. Hopefully someday soon🤞
@@AwareHouseChef If only the US would actually incentivize grass fed farming and make it cheaper because not only is it healthier, it's better for the environment than any vegetable agriculture out there
Thanks for commenting that New Zealand has some of the highest food standards in the world. No hormone treatments in our chickens, sheep or cattle. No GMO feed and proper animal welfare.
I hope to visit some day. My suspicion is that the quality of your products also happens to be an indication of the culture. Thank you for your reaching out. Cheers!
@@AwareHouseChef they added cream recently, cream is defined as not nessesarily fully literal cream by usda. taste a bit more like the other standard butter kirkland and others sell, that is mostly just so called cream, where its harder to spread and tastes weird, less tasty. could be mono/di glycerdies and other garbage like that
@@AwareHouseChefunfortunately their packaging contains forever chemicals. I believe they only plan on changing the foil packaging in areas that require.
Absolutely agree. Tried both head to head. The NZ butter did not stand out taste-wise much better than regular Costco butter. We use regular for baking and Kerrygold for spreading. Kerrygold is one of the world's worthwhile luxuries!
"Grass fed" butter is often not a winter product. A wet pasture has problems with trampling, and the grass loses attraction to cattle as it becomes muddied. So dairies often shift between pasturing and feeding on hay and mash seasonally. The color of the butter can also shift seasonally with deeper golds associated with more Vitamin A content when the cattle are pastured rather than stall fed.
The reason that their only 95% grass fed is that grass goes dormant for a while and they have to feed them with hay or other crops. As soon as the grass grows back they can start to feed on the grass again.
@@AwareHouseChef They do not need grain. Cows that produce milk on purely grass fed are just that. In winter they will get some mineral supplements, but other than that they get a mixture of different grasses or fermented grass that was made in summer for the winter feed.
As a kid, I was used to salted butter. When we moved to India, my mom used to make yogurt from freshly delivered milk and then churn it to create butter and buttermilk. I grew to love the taste of the freshly churned butter, which has no additives INCLUDING SALT.
I work for Costco so thank you for the information. Members ask me all the time about our products. I have tried both of these butters but couldn't tell the difference as I wasn't sampling them at the same time as you have. I know Costco gets many of their products from New Zealand including all their lamb which is always 100% Halal.

We lived in Ireland for 6 years , so I was thrilled when we started carrying KerryGold here in America ! It’s our favorite and especially because it’s delicious unsalted . Our Costco only has Kirkland in salted
Coming from France he took me sometimes to find good milk product in the US... I used the kerryGold butter that i enjoy for years ...since Whole food stated carrying "Isigny Beurre De Baratte Butter is one of the best butter with unsalted Finlandia Butter from Finland try those you wont regret ..
I tried Kerrygold several years ago when I switched to grassfed. And there is no comparison! I can't speak for the Kirkland as I am not a Costco member, and don't plan to join just to try the butter. I will stick with my Kerrygold. Give me a loaf of fresh baked bread and a stick of Kerrygold, and I'm in heaven! 🍞 💛 🧈
I’ve traveled extensively in the British Isles, Ireland, and Oceania, and I can categorically attest that the best dairy products I’ve ever had were in Ireland and New Zealand. Sadly, here in the USA the quality of dairy is sketchy so I am forced to source from local farmers which only adds cost and logistical challenges, and this is especially true when it comes to fresh eggs. Maybe we’ll catch up to Ireland and New Zealand some day.
Its quite ironic because back in the day(historically) Irish butter couldn't compete with Danish butter, it was packaged badly, handled badly for export,sometimes rancid, I wonder do we get offered the Kerrygold that hangs around because it can't *flood* the *free market* ?
@@AwareHouseChef Lurpak, I used to eat that all the time until my kids found Kerrygold and they think they like it better. Also, the french President, very good butter.
The butter wars intrigue me. I grew up in Ireland so Kerrygold was one of a glut of butters from local creamerys whch all tasted the same (just like regular butter). I remember during the 80's the controversial "Butter Mountains" that were stockpiled due to EU intervetion (agricultural subsidizing) and here in Ireland people on welfare were given "Butter Vouchers" instead of (or in addition to) money. People were poor generally in Ireland in the 80's so they were used in stores to buy groceries and were as good as cash to most. With so many years overproducing it and just trying to get rid of the butter, it's surreal still seeing Kerrygold nowdays flying the flag of something that used to represent times of sever economic repression. (we also had a foreign exchange student who came back for a second time, I think just for the butter)
Having spent quite a bit of time in Ireland in the early 2000s I would have to say that the quality almost oh Irish ingredient surpasses anything I find here in the United States. I miss your eggs I miss your pork I miss your butter basically I miss it all. It’s a standard I use when trying to buy things here. The Irish should be proud of their products. I personally by Carrie gold when I can forward it if I am just going to be doing some slag baking I’ll buy regular butter doing Muffins
Excellent video! I'm in Germany and eat butter by itself for extra fat. I'm surprised at how different they can taste. Kerrygold is very nice. Regarding the wrapper, I move the entire block into a glass container. Glad I found your video! Thank you! 🇩🇪
@@TMAN0603 You might want to move that butter into a glass or ceramic container though. I don't like the idea of plastic leaching into my food, so I transfer most things to glass. It comes out the tub easily too. 👍
I used to work in a small local dairy in the UK and I know I am biased but they make a butter that can match any butter from anywhere. Big claim I know but it's true. Longley farm butter from Holmfirth in Yorkshire, England. It's made from milk from grass fed Jersey cows. It's a golden yellow, intense flavoured butter. I love it.
As an Irishman while we have the utmost seriousness about beef and dairy I can attest that wonderful northern England and her friendly folk do well to match us, if but a single stride behind.🍺😉
Kerrygold is the butter standard for the world. I've had a few "craft butters" that I would say were better but unable to consistently source them. I worked for the parent company (Irish Dairy Board) in the US for 10 years and it was relatively easy to convert chefs from their butter to the Kerrygold.
I've noticed that salted butters melt faster at room temp than unsalted butter so that may be why the Kerrygold was easier to spread than the Kirkland.
@@AwareHouseChef I have both butters in my house now. I Bought Kerrygold today. It's back on the store shelves, the sticks have a paper wrap. When kept at room temp, Kerrygold is softer and the Kirkland is much harder to spread.
I use Kerry gold unsalted. If you want grass fed year-round, you have to buy a few extras in the summer and freeze them for the winter. I’m thinking about making ghee, but I really hate to waste the Kerygold since I have to drive 60 miles round-trip to get it. It has really gone up in price at Walmart in the last year.
I make my own butter and buy a half gallon of 40% heavy cream from my restaurant supply store and whisk the heck out of it in my stand mixer until,,,,well until it's butter! Believe it or not you don't save all that much money but it's fresh and good! Oh, and it's nice having heavy cream around for soups and espresso so it serves many purposes beyond the freshest butter you'll ever have.
If you have cows unless you are in a climate like Hawaii, you would have to supplement dry hays and things during winter months. And thats not a bad thing necessarily.
Even in New Zealand hay is feed during winter. Hawaii is real bad at dairy. Most of their dairy products are air freighted daily from Los Angeles. I past a couple of dairy farms and thought if that was New Zealand the farmer would be charged with animal cruelty and the animals put down. Must have produced low fat milk cause there was no fat on those cows.
The most delicious butter is made in Normandy, France and is called Isigny Ste Mère Beurre De Baratte aux cristaux de sel de guerande (with grey sea salt) It's a wonderful cultured butter and once you have it with warm crusty french rolls, you will never go back to the irish brand.
It's impossible at the moment to get Kerrigold because the packaging has been found to use the "forever" chemicals PFAS. It would be interesting if you could question them regarding this serious problem. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 72yrs
So far our Costco near me does not sell the Grassfed Kirkland Butter yet....They were completely out of the KerryGold Butter last week. I noticed the regular Kirkland Butter is too watery when we bake with it so we stopped buying it. Thanks so much for sharing this information AwareHouseChef :)
Thank you for acknowledging that neither are made from organic milk. I think many people think they are organic bc they are grass-fed, organic is held to a higher standard. Both look delicious though!
I'll have to find it but, I saw Kerrygold was taken to court over the "grass-fed" claim. They didn't get in trouble because they never said it was any percentage grass fed however, turned out it was about 50% grass fed.
If Kerrygold is back on the shelves, the PFAS in the wrapper has been fixed. KG on freshly baked bread with jam is just the best. I use a brand of jam and jellies from France because it tastes wonderful and has only two ingredients: fruit and sugar . First time I’ve seen your channel. Great job!
I found Kerry gold on Publix a couple days ago from buy-1-get-1-free. I wonder if Publix is selling those that have heavy metals just to make a quick buck.
@@letsgobrandon821 i just now checked the usa gov site and it is a federal law, not just a particular state. The class action was filed in new york . “Questions and answers on PFAS in Food” us food & drug administration is my source. (Rather than “law” i should probably say a voluntary recall. Suit was based on false advertising that only contains blah blah whereas PFAS should have been included in list of ingredients . Although it is or was in the wrapper, i guess PFAS can migrate to food .
A difference between Irish and English butter is how it is made , Irish butter traditionally made after the milk has soured (claddered ) In England butter is made from sweet milk/cream. I don't know if New Zealand butter made from fresh cream or not. One of the main things you notice with grass fed butter is the rich yellow colour . Danish butter is nearly white.
You've done a great comparison, i've always used Kerrygold but recently with Kerrygold's wrapper around the butter I've been peeling off like 2 millimeters of butter that touches the wrapper and pop it in a Pyrex dish due to the wrapper recently been found to have high levels of PFA's or those "forever chemicals" which may be fat soluble. Kirkland though I've never tried it the wrapper looks similiar. In two states Kerrygold is changing the wrapper which is a good start. Is milk solids in the world of butter more or less a "filler"? I do wonder which has more healthy butyrate.
Im from England but my favourite butters are Président and Lurpak . Both superior to Kerrygold in my opinion. Haven’t seen either available where I live in Hungary, but it’s easy to find Kerrygold
George, You better do your research. I also have been using Kerigold for years but no longer.They have been misleading their customers. If the label does not say 100% Grass Fed then grass fed doesn’t mean a hill of beans. Kerigold feeds its cows mainly gmo corn and soy and perhaps a bit of grass. Who knows what the grass is laden with. I’m opting for 100% grass fed organic butter from now on.
@@AwareHouseChef From Ireland..and its hilarious to hear these peaky bitchy comments about butter. And no they don't feed soy to cows in Ireland...god I love the internet. you're all nuts but I still love ye! Peace
Kerrygold butter is currently unavailable in California. My Stater Brothers manager told me that new packaging laws enacted beginning January 1, 2023 forbids the foil wrapper used by Kerrygold for their butter and it will "take a while" before they can repackage it. I don't know if other U.S. States are affected as well. It's been almost 2 1/2 months since it's been off our shelves...
I basically did the same thing you did! I was looking for flavor differences and could not tell the difference until I put them both on bread! The Kerry was smoother, and I believe a tad more flavorful. Next, I tried them both with Land O Lakes Butter! And both were much more creamier and more flavorful. Land O Lakes was harder and, to me, best used for baking, not on bread. And, I grew up on Land O Lakes, but not worth the price at six dollars a pound.
I just had the Kirkland grass fed butter and I love it! I'm never going back to regular butter and I can't believe I would eat fake butter like Country Crock.
I was psyched to see a 24 pl of pasture raised organic eggs at Costco for the coat of 12 at my local supermarket! They are really upping their healthy options
I used to spend a lot of time in New Zealand and always brought butter home with me (export packaged). I love the stuff. Your test is spot on. I use both now for different things.
I love them both but the unsalted Kerrygold is cultured and way outshines the salted one. So far, I can only get salted Kirkland butter, so I buy both and use them for different things. Thanks for the info on milk solids -- very helpful.
I live in New York and I get raw milk from a local farm and it’s 100% grass fed Jersey cows. It’s the best milk ever. It’s like 30% fat. So nourishing for children and tastes incredible. And I’ve made butter out of it and in the spring it’s so yellow, much deeper yellow than even Kerrygold. The milk is only $6 per gallon and almost 30% fat so I’m thinking about buying a giant butter churn and making my own raw milk butter, 15 pounds at a time and freezing it. It’ll probably require 30 gallons of milk, and I’ll give all the leftover buttermilk to a local farm to feed to their pigs.
Thanks for the heads up! If you have it in your area, I recommend President brand from France. It's a cultured butter so the taste is best, for me, as a spread. As a cooking butter it's up to the individuals taste. Not sure of the pro-biotic benefits. For me it's just yummy on toast, fresh warm bread or used in a pan sauce.
I am a KerryGold butter girl and wthen Costco didn't have any I stood at the glass refrigerater door staring like I could wish it into existence. I was instantly sad. I bought the Kirkland brand and I knew with one taste it wasn't KerryGold. It was good and I made my way through it but I was disappointed. When I looked at your grilled cheese sandwich (I only use Kerrygold Chedder) I wanted to jump through my computer monitor. I have "grilled cheese parties with select friends" (you need a personal invite to get in - lol) I am going to join my prayers with yours that KerryGold will sponsor your channel and Costco will carry the butter again. They do carry the chedder cheese off and on and that sets my disappointment in motion as well. Thank you for this great video, it confirmed what I already knew - KERRYGOLD IS THE BEST! Ps, I had to subscribe, you talk my talk!!!
Love my Kerry Gold...it's the Gold standard when it comes to butter however I love my lamb from NZ. Also, I've recently been enjoying cold pressed EVOO from Italy with a mix of herbs instead of butter on my bread. It's nice to switch things up.
There is Kriemhild Dairy in Upstate NY that offers grass fed butter, as well as Maple Hill (NY). It appears only Maple Hill butter may be found in local markets. Organic Valley (started in Mid-west but works with farms nationwide)says their butter is from pasture raised cows (??). The butter fat from these is 11-12%, so less than Kerry Gold, but I may look into trying tem.
I picked this up real quick I got so excited! I love the packaging too. As far as comparison, you are spot on. The Costco brand is harder to spread. Taking it out a few mins early fixes that. As far as taste, it’s less salty therefore my tastebuds are missing that. I have to cut back on salt so it’s ok. Overall I think the Costco brand tastes great! If you really want a flavorful butter check out the butter from France at Whole Foods. Knocks these two out of the water imo. Worth every overpriced cent. Thanks for the great video!
I love Kerrygold its my goto for butter that's not being cooked (i.e. baking and incorporating in a recipe). Best flavor I've found is Kerry. I'll give Kirklands a try when I can. Might be my new cooking butter.
Oh, my goodness. I am so glad I found this channel. That part with you praying for the sponsor was soooo funny. Never seen anything like it. Wish I had thought of that. hahaha
I have been using Kerrygold for years. It’s my favorite butter. I usually get it at Sam’s Club. I switched to the Kirkland from Costco because of the price. Kerrygold is still my favorite, but the Kirkland is good enough.
Interesting comparison and insight into what makes butter taste the way it does. Trying to eat more organic grass-fed, free-range stuff but as you mentioned there are prices to consider....
I switched to the Costco grass fed butter and I love it! I use it for cooking! I love the price 4 bars for $10. I use it on my sour dough bread and I put some butter on it and it melts while bread is hot.
Meanwhile I live in Canada and have the anemic white n impossible to spread butter 😅 Cream also has a lower fat content than elsewhere. It gets a bit annoying adjusting for recipes especially with dessert recipes.
@@AwareHouseChef I think we actually do have fairly decent beef products. We have access to import beef and meat produced in Alberta is actually quite good. Growth hormones are restricted in Canada for cows in dairy production. That’s a decent trade off for many of us buying dairy domestically as opposed to across the border. Canada’s quite well known for being particularly protective of its dairy industry. Growing up. I often visited Japan and I think any dairy outside of theirs isn’t enough to make me feel actually disappointed in what I have.
@@skinnydee1886 No. I just said that we have policy restrictions for dairy products. I live close enough to the border to just head to the US and buy Irish butter at Costco. At certain grocers (Safeway/ThriftyFoods/Certain family/organic markets) you can buy “European style” butter which is a bit better but it’s still only just okay.
When Costco was out of Kerrygold, I tried the other one.... tasted weird and I could taste it in my baking. I threw the rest out and bought Kerrygold from a different store until Costco had Kerrygold again. I have a very sensitive palate, so others may not agree about the taste, but for me it was nowhere near good.
Many, many thanks and welcome. I appreciate your kindness. Let me know how I can be at your service. Feel free to make video recommendations. All the best!
VERY GOOD VIDEO CHEF!!! Great content whole heartedly worth watching and I have been considering joining Costco! Now that you have showed me this information about their butter, it is the deciding factor and I'm going to pull the trigger and get the membership! You see, I recently started making Ghee and I want the healthiest butter I can get and at a dollar less per pound than the Kerrygold, that's all I needed to hear! DEAR COSTCO, PLEASE SPONSOR THIS CHEF'S VIDEOS, HIS CONTENT BROUGHT ME TO YOU!
Thank you ! I appreciate your kindness. Please, before you join, make sure they carry it. Something has happened with the packaging and all grass fed butters are kind of gone off the market
Check to see if the Costco you're considering joining carries it (if butter is the reason you're joining!) - it appears that my store in St Louis, MO, does not carry this butter (they do carry Kerrygold).
As a long time Kerry Gold Butter consumer and lover, I was alarmed at how much I was spending on butter. For the first time I saw the Kirkland and noticed it was 2/3 of the price of Kerry Gold, so I bought the Kirkland brand. I just tried it and found it every bit as good as the KG. It was also very creamy and rich. So my vote is to switch to the Kirkland brand!!
I usually use cultured butter anyway, for the robust flavor. But sweet cream butter has its uses, when you want something more subtle and are able to actually taste what the cow fed on.
Great review, super helpful! I'm also a Kerrygold addict and I buy exclusively from Costco, I noticed the new grassfed butter but I put off buying it. I usually use the Kerrygold only for buttering bread and cook with other oils so I think for now I'll stick with it, but maybe for holiday baking I'll go for the kirkland brand! Thanks for the info!
Kerrygold also is available in an unsalted version. Not sure about Costco as I haven't been there in awhile. I usually leave a stick of butter out at all times so it's easier to spread. Lots of recipes call for unsalted butter for some reason, even when they add salt later.
Thank you for your analysis. When I cook or bake, I use unsalted butter and add salt as desired. This option is better because it allows me to more precisely develop the desired flavor profile. Knowing this, I will more likely use the Kirkland butter for cooking and the Kerrygold butter for other uses; post-cooked foods.
Ah, the salt content! That's the difference! I use KG butter for bullet proof coffee and switched to Kirkland because it was $9.99 at Costco vs now almost $14 for KG, but it tasted terrible in my coffee. Now I know why! Less salt and it was a bit less creamy as well!
Excellent video as always George! I was amazed that both Kerry Gold and Costco responded quickly and honestly about the grass fed branding and wondered what the FDA feed requirement is to be able to put “Grass Fed” on the label?
Thanks Rick! It’s an honest thing. There are times where you are forced to feed cattle some thing other than grass especially when there is none available in the winter. As long as they’re honest that’s all that matters. But there are some farmers that do feed their cattle grass all year. I will keep an eye out for them. All the best!
@@AwareHouseChef Walnut Range Farms, in Alma, Nebraska, uses grass year round. They plant a variety of nutritious grasses for their cattle. Best to buy butter in Spring and Summer, if you aren't sure, and pick up a winter supply in fall, before the winter snows. Kirkland's box reads: "Churned with fresh cream from cows with a 95% grass-fed diet, complemented with locally grown grains for nutritional balance. Our dairy farm herds graze on the pastures of New Zealand year-round." So they add the 5% grain deliberately and possibly not just in their winter, which should be opposite ours. It is distributed from Issaquah, WA and also says: "Product of New Zealand". Does this mean it is churned in New Zealand? I have now found a place in PA, where I can get raw butter.
@@AwareHouseChef Hay is "available" year-round. And misleading customers with their "story" and "grassfed" on the label is not "honest". Don't make excuses for them, just because you like the taste.
Low salt is not healthier unless you have hypertension, plenty of research that shows this. Your body knows how much it wants/needs, add salt to taste.
I like both, but went for the price difference when purchasing, I buy more Costco brand than Kerrygold. The high standard New Zealand has is very important to me. We are finding more and more low quality ingredients in all foods, so when I can get non-GMO and true organic, I grab it and try to store it long term. Thanks for the comparison.
ONLY KerryGold (on sale at Costco this week) no substitute BUT having stated that The Brittany cultured butter ($10.00 for 8oz) reminds me of my grandmother's hand-churned butter which I treat myself to once a month ;-). LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and Thank You.
Yes my late mother (101 years 2019) would make butter with American milk it was nothing to my Gran's as the milk came from her own Fresian cows OH MY GOD memories of watching her.
I just Googled Brittany Cultured butter bc I was curious & it turns out Trader Joe's has one that's about half the price & Bon Appetit says is just as good. Might be worth checking out.
I have never understood the appeal of Kerrygold. But then again I was raised in France eating French butter. The best in the world, especially the unpasteurised variety.
Oh, thank you so much for this comparison. I switched from Kerrygold to the Kirkland, and am not happy with how hard it is. And exactly as you said, Kerry gold is SO tasty just on bread. I'm switching back to Kerry gold, I just enjoy it more🥰
The problem with New Zealand products is they havent outlawed glyphosate, so honey, dairy, and meat has trace amounts in it when compared to organic products from areas banning such products.
@@AwareHouseChef it is very strange-if I’m not mistaken they flip flop every few years. Japan threatened to ban import of New Zealand honey because glyphosate levels were so high. I’m not sure what they ended up finally doing
Try your experiments with a person who does not eat salt! You like a 25% higher salted butter because you eat salt! See what happens to your sense of taste when you cut out all salt for a few months. If you go back to eating salted foods you will realise food tastes fresher & better without salt. Without salt you can actually taste the food properly. Salt is an unhealthy addiction just like sugar folks. You need small amounts for potassium, and the amounts you actually require are naturally in most organic foods at source/naturally.
My family has been using Kerrygold for years. I saw the grass-fed Kirkland butter last week at Costco and bought it. I think I actually did taste a difference just on toast and I think I may prefer it. You can't go wrong with either though.
I used to buy butter that comes in 4 sticks because I love the convenience of it. And I was 3 weeks ago old when I accidentally tried a new brand of butter, from Costco, which was not in my favourite format of 4 sticks per pound of butter. I was BLOWN AWAY by the taste, no exaggeration. Now, the brand of butter Costco carriess here in Canada is Beatrice (which I have bought many times from other stores and never thought anything special of), and I am not a fan of the flimsy packaging of their Costco butter, but THAT TASTE is absolutely superb! (I am only talking of unsalted butter here, I never buy the salted stuff). The Costco Beatrice butter is delicious enough to be eaten plain, by itself, with nothing else added, instead of dessert. Excellent for anyone doing keto and intermittent fasting, or anyone who may crave a late-night snack but wants to avoid the inevitable insulin spike.
We love the Kirkland grass fed butter! Have been using it since it came out. Previously we bought Kerrygold, but appreciate the cheaper price of the Costco brand and feel the taste difference is minimal. Thanks for your comparison. Costco has many very good Kirkland products that save us money.
We make our own butter from 35% whipping cream. Tastes better than any store bought prepackaged butter. 1-litre of 35% whipping cream makes 13:5oz’s of butter and leaves 16 ounces or 2 cups of buttermilk. And it’s more economical. Side note: Canadian dairy farmers add palm oil to the cattle feed to increase yield. They say they could not keep up with demand for butter without this addition. You can taste and feel the difference as the butter now is so much harder to spread. It has changed the consistency from previous years when this was fed to the cows.
Have you tested the packaging of both ? PFAS ? That could make the choice easier . Kerrygold uses PFAS in its packaging however they have reported they will change that .
If you can get it you should try Glenstal Irish butter . It is made from only grass fed summer milk . Kerrygold is fine butter , but Glenstal is even finer . The taste alone will tell you . All the best
Thank you for doing this comparison! I have been 100% Kerrygold for years. I recently tried Costco’s and have the same opinion as you: KG is more flavorful. I will try Costco’s brand with more salt to see if I come up with the same conclusion. I respect Costco’s products and their dedication to quality, and it would be nice to save a few bucks along the way. 😉
Rumiano produces grass-fed organic butter. Wonderful quality and taste. To offset the high price, one can purchase a case through Azure Standard. It freezes well.
I was Kerrygold for years until I stumbled on the Kirkland grass fed one recently. I fell in love with the Kirkland and all I use now. The Kirkland has a better mouth feel in my opinion. Seems fattier/silkier. The color looks darker on the Kirkland versus the Kerrygold. I agree the Kerrygold is saltier than the Kirkland.
I usually buy whatever grass-fed butter is on sale, buy-one-get-one-free, unsalted, at Publix (regional supermarket chain based here in Florida). I buy four pounds and convert it into roughly two quarts of ghee. These sales happen at least four or five times a year so I don’t have to make ghee from generic cheap butter.
Thanks for making this video brief, Most videos are WAY too long, TikTok is a success because there’s not 30 minutes of dialogue. This is a great model for others. Thanks
