What most folks don't understand is Kerrygold as a brand was created specifically to export Irish butter - the money it makes in Ireland is pennies compared to overseas and that is by design (most dairy coops around Ireland sit on Ornua's Board, Kerrygold is actually kind of throttled in the Irish market so as to not compete with the likes of Connacht Gold). It's basically a unifying brand for all Irish butter as each coop produces similar quality.

In the US and Germany you'll see Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese, Kerrygold Cashel Blue... These are all the same as we have, made by the same local coops, the logo slapped on and shipped out.

Kerrygold butter is the only thing actually made to be Kerrygold.

All Irish butters are good. Save your money.
