Kerrygold Salted Butter

Kerrygold is one of Ireland's most famous global exports, renowned for its rich flavor and golden color, which results from a diet of grass-fed cows. The brand was established in 1962 by Sir Anthony O'Reilly, with the primary goal of creating a premium identity for Irish dairy products in international markets, particularly the United Kingdom.

Production remains strictly centered in Ireland, utilizing milk collected from thousands of family-run farms across the country. The butter is processed and packaged at state-of-the-art facilities like Kerrygold Park in County Cork. This focus on local manufacturing ensures the integrity of the dairy and adherence to the strict quality standards of the Irish grass-fed system.

The brand is owned by Ornua Co-operative Limited, an agri-food commercial co-operative which markets and sells dairy products on behalf of its members, Ireland's dairy processors and, in turn, Irish dairy farmers. This structure means that the brand's success directly benefits the local agricultural community in Ireland, maintaining its status as a cornerstone of the Irish economy.
