Kerrygold - Best butter I have ever eaten!
Comments
-
Guys, give credit to where it's due. Those water butter bell holder upside down thingies are French butter dishes
anyhow, you should change the water every few days. I also sprinkle salt into the water to inhibit mold growth. The salt will not get into the butter. -
My wife and I tried both some time ago, I believe America's test kitchen rated them very highly, so we tried then and loved both.RRP said:Taste tests to start here soon! BTW I also found the Plugra at my Kroger. It was only $3.99 vs. $4.99 for the Kerrygold. From comments made in this thread plus some food blogs I've read it will be a coin flipper!

Found the Kerry today at Kroger today for 3.99. Gave it a taste. Definitely more flavorful. Thanks for the post.

Took the advice of my fellow eggers and tried some on homemade bread this past weekend for a party. All in attendance raved about how good it was. I too am sold. Thanks for the share!

Kerrygold is on sale at Costco right now. 3-8oz packs for $5.98.
Treated several family and friends go Kerrygold this weekend. They all thought it was crack...especially on buttermilk cornbread.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
@cazzy that's a great deal, thanks. I love that stuff. It's almost too rich in chocolate chip cookies but I manage somehow...Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

good stuff ron
grass fed, that's the trick there.
lot more carotenes etc.
egg yolks are yellower too, and beef fat healthier, when grass fed.

I have been making clarified butter with my KG...maybe that is waste as any old butter would come out the same after clarifying?Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

I've been making homemade butter for a couple years now. I store it open on my counter for weeks at a time. It's fine. Usually it doesn't last a week.
Kerrygold is better than the butter I make with plain heavy whipping cream but not as good as when I can find grass fed fresh cream. But that's hard to come by around here.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum -
Agree, except chickens are omnivores. If they don't have access to meat or bugs they won't be healthy and the eggs suffer and chicks can start fighting and going cannibal on each other.Darby_Crenshaw said:good stuff ron

^this i am aware of. didn't say they ate only grass, but that when they do, it is a benefit to the egg produced
wasn't presenting the entire dietary requirements of each animal, just that the grass is a good thing. reflected in the color of the yolk etc.

The cheeses are money too. We have the Dubliner around all the time. They sell it at Costco too.Focker said:

Yes I knew that it was on sale at Costco. My wife came home last weekend with 32 1.5lbs packages of KG butter.

I get mine at CostcoSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

Is that a typo? a half pound package lasts me 2 weeks so if I were to buy 32 1.5lb packages then I'd be set until mid August, 2018.Firemanyz said:Yes I knew that it was on sale at Costco. My wife came home last weekend with 32 1.5lbs packages of KG butter.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -
The Costco on Mall Drive in Chesterfield county still carries it.caliking said:I think Costco used to sell it. May be cheaper than Kroger.
