Unsalted Irish Butter, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this gold-wrapped block in the refrigerated dairy section, often grabbed for weekend toast, holiday baking, or to finish a skillet sauce. It feels indulgent and a bit nostalgic — rich, creamy, and simple. The short ingredient list (pasteurized cream, skimmed milk, cultures) and churned texture indicate minimal processing rather than an ultra-processed product (NOVA cues: few ingredients, no industrial additives).
