Shell out a little more for Kerrygold butter. The Irish butter is worth it. ExtraCrispy.com tasted more than a dozen "fancy" butters and rated them, noting: "If none of the other butters on this list are in your price range or in your supermarket, know that you can pick up Kerrygold and still have some of the tastiest butter ever made." The Where NOLA Eats Facebook group agreed. Other butters got nods, but these folks love Kerrygold. Do you agree? One member noted: "I went to a butter tasting and the director of the Cork Butter Museum was there. He explained Kerrygold tastes a little differently through the year, because of what the cows eat." |
