Best Irish Butter Producers
Kerrygold is one of the most well-known Irish dairy brands, recognized worldwide for its creamy butter and premium cheeses. Founded in 1961 by An Bord Bainne (now known as Ornua), Kerrygold has become synonymous with authentic dairy products made from the milk of grass-fed cows raised on Ireland’s natural pastures.
What makes Kerrygold truly special is the unmatched quality of its milk. The cows producing milk for Kerrygold graze on lush, green Irish meadows for most of the year, feeding on nutrient-rich natural grass. This pasture-based diet gives the milk a rich flavor and contributes to the distinct golden-yellow color of Kerrygold butter.
