What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the dairy aisle or on a brunch table—Kerrygold's olive oil butter tub sits with other specialty spreads and reads as a slightly upscale, indulgent staple for toast, cooking, or holiday baking. Its soft, spreadable texture comes from blending butter with olive oil and water; the ingredients are simple and pasteurized, but the emulsion and packaged tub reflect industrial processing rather than a raw dairy product.
