What You Should Know

You'd spot this Kerrygold unsalted butter in the dairy section or on your kitchen counter when prepping toast, sauces, or holiday baking — it reads like a staple for cooking and special-occasion baking. The vibe is rich, indulgent and a little nostalgic, and the short ingredient list (pasteurized cream, skimmed milk, cultures) and simple processing (pasteurization, churning) indicate a minimally processed dairy product rather than an ultraprocessed item, contributing to its creamy, spreadable texture.
