Kerrygold is somewhat decent product but far from the best. Availability (and price at Costco) are probably the main reason.
One of the best butters I had lately is Vermont Creamery. Hands down, the flavor was just amazing. If you enjoy good butter and haven’t had this one then consider giving it a try.
Vital Farms gained lot of popularity because of their pasture raised eggs and now butter. I tried it and it is good. What scares me is that they are in the Houston area. There’s a reason why the cancer rates are high there. Unfortunately “organic” doesn’t mean product is free of crap. It only means crap was not used to make it grow. (Reason why organic psyllium from India can legally contain lead and still be organic).
- hinkley 3y agoDefinitely availability. Almost every grocer here has it, though in a couple it's hidden away. Most of the other options require you to plan your trips a bit more judiciously.
- archagon 3y agoVermont Creamery definitely makes the best US butter I’ve tried. And their cheeses are amazing, too! (For international, I might still give the win to Échiré.)
- dtagames 3y agoVital Farms is the best American butter I've ever tasted. And I'm from Houston, lol. But they're not. The company is based in Austin and shows on their website that farms are not in Houston. What farms are in Houston at all lol?
- t-3 3y agoMaybe not in Houston, but last time I was down that way I saw signs on ranch gates advertising calves for sale on the road between Houston and Port Arthur. I'm sure someone's making butter down there.
