What color is the wrapper on your Kerrygold? The unsalted kerrygold comes in silver foil and says unsalted on the corner, while the salted comes in gold foil. I have some unsalted and the ingredients show no salt and the nutrition label verifies: "Sodium: 0 mg". Is it that the salted variety is not actually labeled as salted? I don't have any salted on hand to check.itellsya said:
The comparison will be interesting. A note about color: we have noticed some variation in the color of Kerrygold as well as other (distasteful grocery) brands; sometimes they are more pale, sometimes more yellow. I had just figured it was due to variations from batch to batch of milk depending on the quality of grazing, time of year, maybe even groups of cattle. Kerrygold is consistently more creamy and yellow than store butter (if anatto color has not been added to the store brand to fake it), and to us tastes much better. The store butter has a "sour milk" edge to the taste.
I would be suitably impressed by a butter that even creamier and more yellow than the Kerrygold. I certainly need to do some research and reaching out locally to see what's available. So far I've not found a quality dairy that's close by. I wonder if a milk co-op might be able to arrange deliveries of butter or heavy cream as well?
