Kerrygold Salted Butter
What it is
This is a block of butter made from the milk of grass-fed cows. It has a rich, creamy texture and a distinct flavor profile. The butter is churned and then salted, which helps to preserve it and enhance its taste. It comes in a convenient, foil-wrapped package, ready for kitchen use. The origin of the milk contributes to its characteristic color and quality.
How people cook with it
Salted butter is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking. It adds richness and flavor to a wide range of dishes.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Sauce enrichment
When baking, salted butter can be creamed with sugar to create a light and airy base for cakes and cookies. It melts beautifully when sautéed, adding a glossy finish and depth of flavor to pan-fried meats and vegetables. For sauces, it can be whisked in at the end to emulsify and add a luxurious mouthfeel. It's also excellent for simply spreading on warm bread or rolls, allowing its natural richness to shine through. Its salt content means you may need to adjust the salt in your recipe.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to unsalted butter, this product contains added salt. This makes it ideal for dishes where a salty note is desired, and it can simplify seasoning. The higher fat content, common in European-style butters, also contributes to a smoother texture and richer flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this butter for its quality and flavor.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining butter tightly wrapped in its original foil or in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It should be used within a reasonable timeframe to enjoy its best quality.
