Extra butterfat aside, Kerrygold Irish butter differentiates to other butters in the color as well. Irish butter has a distinctly rich yellow shade which comes from beta carotene. Real Simple explains that the seriously rainy Irish climate is perfect for fertile soil and extra green grass resulting in high levels of beta carotene. The grass-fed Irish cows absorb the beta carotene which in result, gives Irish butter that satisfying yellow tint.
Professionals rave about the taste of Irish butter. Boston-based caterer and food consultant Anna Gershenson says Kerrygold is her go-to. "It imparts wonderful flavor to everything, be it toast, cooked grains, enriched doughs, you name it," she says. "I am very discerning about where and how food is sourced. Kerrygold meets my standard" (via Eater).
If you're curious about trying Irish butter, it won't be hard to get ahold of some. Kerrygold butter is the second-best-selling branded butter in the United States. In 2018, the brand sold $1 billion worth of their product in more than 80 markets across the world (per Eater). Sounds like Irish butter is rich in more ways than one.
