Kerrygold Meersalz Butter

Kerrygold is a world-renowned dairy brand that originated in Ireland in 1962. The brand was created by Sir Anthony O'Reilly to help Irish dairy farmers unify their exports under a single premium identity. This specific product is Kerrygold Sea Salt Butter (Meersalz Butter), produced using milk from Irish grass-fed cows, emphasizing the traditional pastoral farming methods typical of the Irish landscape.

The manufacturing process primarily takes place in Ireland, where the milk is sourced and churned. Ownership remains within Ireland under Ornua Co-operative Limited (formerly the Irish Dairy Board), which is a cooperative owned by Irish dairy processors and, by extension, Irish dairy farmers. This structure ensures that the profits and brand direction serve the interests of the local agricultural community. In Germany, Kerrygold is distributed and managed by Ornua Deutschland GmbH, based in Neuss.
