Butter is wonderful. It gives flavor to a multitude of recipes, especially baked goods, and makes most dishes more satisfying, rich, and delicious. It is my firm belief that real butter is part of a healthy diet; you won’t see butter substitutes or any sort of chemical butters on this blog ever.
When it comes to butter, not any old butter will do. Discovered when I studied abroad in Galway many years ago, eaten on each trip home to Galway to visit my husband’s family, and now a permanent fixture in our fridge, Kerrygold butter is the gold standard. There is something creamier, fresher, and purer about Kerrygold, just something special that I have rarely found in other butters. Most likely, the fact that the milk for their products is sourced from small Irish farms has something to do with it 🙂
As I mentioned the other day, its flavor is so good, I can eat it alone on crackers.
From topping corn, to making a fish dish with Alaska Seafood, from homemade meatballs and sauce, to tasting at the Foodbuzz Festival, Kerrygold is a big part of my culinary adventures. We have been lucky to live in an Irish enclave in Boston, and Kerrygold has been widely available in our little markets for years. I have been happy to see Kerrygold products become more widely available and less expensive as they have entered the US market.
They not only sell premium butter, but as you may know, Kerrygold also makes a variety of cheeses including the incredible Dubliner with Irish Stout. Yum.
Why all the talk about Kerrygold, you ask?
Because it’s giveaway time! The kind people at Kerrygold are allowing me to gift a month’s supply of butter and cheese to one lucky Travel, Wine, and Dine reader!
Entering is simple, just leave a comment here telling me your favorite Kerrygold product, or if you have never tried one, visit their website and let me know what you would like to try.
Then if you have a blog, include a link back to this post in your next post. Or if you don’t have a blog, link back to this post on your Facebook or Twitter page. Easy, right? I will choose a winner on Sunday, December 12.
Good luck!

Oh wow!! This is a great giveaway. I’ve actually never tried any Kerrygold products so any and all sound great – especially this butter you rave about.
-
I love Kerrygold unsalted butter for baking… and I think I’ve tried the cheddar too. I agree that the butter is just so much creamier. This is an awesome giveaway!
-
I have an unnatural love for bleu cheese and would love to try KerryGold’s version. 🙂
-
I’d definitely go with the butter! There’s something beautiful about fresh butter… and I bet theirs tastes wonderful!
-
Umm.. I’m a dubliner fan. All the way. Yup. delicious. It makes me very happy.
-
I love KerryGold Butter! I actually already commented about this on your Whiskey Salmon post. I am KerryGold butter obsessed! Like you, I first tried it in Ireland and always look forward to my first bite of brown bread loaded with KerryGold!
-
Can’t beat KerryGold butter for baking, it is so rich!
-
Amazing giveaway!
My favorite Kerrygold product has to be the Dubliner cheese with Irish Stout. I made a fondue last year with the Dubliner and a bottle or two of Guinness, and it rocked.my.world. This is actually a great reminder that as the weather turns cold, it’s time to dust off the fondue pot!
-
The Dubliner with Stout makes an amazing grilled cheese
-
My favorite Kerrygold product is the Dubliner Cheese. I love it’s nutty taste and hard texture. I really would like to try the Red Leicester or the Dubliner with Irish Stout.
-
Mac and cheese dotted with Kerrygold butter is so decadent and tasty
-
I have had the cheddar but have thought about the buying the butter. You have sold me. I would love to try the Dubliner with Stout. Posting link on FB, Twitter and my blog http://www.auntbeesgarden.blogspot.com
-
Hard to choose – LOVE the butter. And the cheese. But I love the taste of their butter on warm toasty bread.
-
I LOVE Dubliner. I mean LOVE. I mean I buy giant loaves of it at Costco. Love. 🙂
-
Easy. The garlic & herb butter. I could eat it by the stick. Seriously.
-
aged cheddar with irish whiskey! NOM
-
I love their full-fat aged cheddar. It’s fantastic. This is a great giveaway for me, because being pre-diabetic, I have to steer clear of the sweets, but bring on the cheese!
-
I’ve never had KerryGold but would love to try their butter – all 3 varieties!!
-
I lovelovelove butter (and will also never use butter substitutes or chemical butters ever) but I have still haven’t tried Kerrygold! I would like to try their salted sweet cream butter if I win. I know I can make great recipe with it (but would also most probably eat it plain with crackers or bread!) 😉
-
Hmmm, I don’t think I’ve ever had any Kerrygold products, but I’d LOVE to try the Dubliner with Irish Stout. Stout makes everything better 🙂
I added a link to this post on the Giveaways page of http://BostonFoodBloggers.com.

I’ve bought the Dubliner cheese several times – very good.
-
awesome giveaway! I want to try the Kerrygold Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey
-
Kerrygold is so good!!! I most recently had the Dubliner and loved it. But ultimately I’m a butter fanatic and theirs is phenomenal. I literally eat it off the knife. (Btw, I’m having a cookie swap in a few weeks and I half-jokingly half-not said we should have a rule: nothing made with shortening or margarine).
-
I’ve never tried the Kerrygold products, as far as I know. BUT, I’d love to try all… especially the Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey. Num!
-
I love Dubliner cheese!
-
This is an awesome giveaway! I adore their butter and would love to try some of their cheeses!
-
I like the Dubliner cheese.
-
There’s something divine about REAL butter. I remember traveling through Ireland and enjoying a thick slather of butter on a piece of bread. Yum.
-
Wow. Best giveaway ever. The cheddar looks just gorgeous.
-
Cheese is my favorite food : ) I would love to try this: Kerrygold Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey. I’ll post this on twitter! Thanks! : )
-
The Dubliner Cheese, definitely, though I need to try more of their stuff.
-
The Dubliner Cheese, definitely, though I need to try more of their stuff. Tweeted.
-
I’m currently eating a plate of Dubliner and crackers so I’d have to say that it is one of my favorites, although I do enjoy their butter. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try there Irish Stout or Blue.
-
I love Kerrygold cheddar with crackers and I also love the butter in the tub on fresh soda bread… no American butter can match it.
-
Funny, my mom goes to Ireland for work sometimes and after her first visit she raved about Irish butter and kept buying it at home! I agree, Kerrygold butter is amazing, and I’ve had their cheddar as well and again so so good! I’d love to try more of their products!!
-
Kerrygold butter is delightful for baking and I love their cheese as well. What a great giveaway!
-
Hmmm…I love their salted butter. So good on fresh-from-the-oven bread!!
-
yum – officially one of the finest things you can buy and improve anything with it. Seriously – ask paula dean, julia childs, any chef – butter is a key ingredient that makes our taste buds swoon. and of the butters out there – Kerrygold has got to be at the top – I travelled through Europe about 10 years ago, through England, France, Germany Italy and the BeneLux countries – nothing in comparison and its available in all the supermarkets there. The dubliner cheese I have tried while in *where else* dublin – and I thought the cheddar was exceptional. but the butter – wow.
-
We love Kerrygold Dubliner….we really like that they sell it at Costco so we can buy it buy the pound!
-
Their butter is delicious, though I mostly use it Only for very fancy baked goods.
-
I love kerrygold butter, it is a staple in my home. I have tried the dubliner and cheddar they are superior products!
Thanks for having such a great give away!
Cheers

I have to say the Dubliner cheese is really wonderful. The flavor is different (can’t really explain) and the texture makes it hard to stop eating it.

My favorite thing is their butter to bake with
-
Oh, yum…please don’t make me choose. I like all Kerrygold products. Although, right now, I’m craving some Dubliner cheese…Thanks for the great give-away!
-
I never tried Kerrygold products; I went and saw this beautiful Aged Cheddar, but since everybody is talking about Dubliner cheese, would love to try that one:)) Great giveaway! Thanks
-
I love Kerry Gold Cheddar- it is by far my favorite, however I would LOVE to try their butter- for some reason I’ve never bitten the bullet and bought it…
-
Oh my gosh. Like everyone here, I swear by Kerrygold!! Love their cheeses, but I have to say, I just love their simple, salted butter. I can – and do – eat that straight up. Cook with nothing else.
-
The Dubliner Stout sounds AMAZING!
-
I love Kerry Gold – any of their products! I actually haven’t had any since our last trip to Ireland but I always purchase that brand when we are there. The cheddar is amazingly delicious and unlike the versions of cheddar you can get in the states.
The butter is my favorite. Oh my god I can imagine slathering some warm brown bread with it. Heaven!
-
I love love LOVE their salted butter. I got some from the Foodbuzz Festival last year and just fell in love. Great GIVEAWAY!
