Kerrygold - Salted vs Unsalted

[Mereo]

It’s definitely in the Oakgrove Waitrose… or was when I last popped in.

You know what that sounds like, south of the equator? And excuse for folding is what it sounds like. #bloodyUN

Don’t much care if it sounds like folding. It’s not a battle worth fighting.

No idea what the “#bloodyUN” thingie is. ??

Look at that… butter has brought us together. Better than a UN peace summit.

[Bellyman]

Ok, that’s clearer. Thanks!

Ok Folks …
I’m doing “butter” now!!
Recovery good
Electrolytes good
Taste Good

Back to life, back to reality

The heck w all you unsalted people🤣

[JustPeachy]

I’m definitely in the Salted group and I use it with abandon! I only buy the unsalted occasionally when I want to make double cream in my cream maker. The salted just doesn’t seem work as well.

Can you elaborate on this double cream you speak of?

Sure! @Rosemarie posted a thread that got me started… But be forewarned…it’s a rabbit hole…

How to make (yes make) double cream in the US

I have found something that has changed my life for the better ketonians. I have found a way, actually two ways, to make double cream here in the good ole USA. As you know, most American cream is about 36% butterfat while those in the UK have the privilege of a 48% butterfat cream. Unless you know a dairy farmer, you are not likely to find 48% cream around these parts. So, I stumbled onto a blog post on how to make it. The first step is to get yourself a cream maker. I had never heard of this g…

Definitely salted.

[Shortstuff]

Wasn’t when I looked but that was last year.

Update: I just tried salted for the first time… Oh my goodness!!! I could just take a bite right out of it!

[Tmdlkwd]

Welcome aboard!
The Salt and Light are now upon thee😁

I just picked up a pack of salted kerrygold at Costco. I’ll see if I’m ready to jump sides too

[Tmdlkwd]

Awesome!

Can’t beat Costco (4) pack pricing …$9.99
Some still just have the (3) pack
Either way, a great deal

Definitely share your taste comparison
Unsalted - Margerine, left on the counter for days, greasy oily taste
Salted - darn good!

No Bias

Enjoy

What the shit??? Mine was a 3-pack. I got hosed.

[Tmdlkwd]

It’s all good still

My mum always used to say that manufacturers salted their butter to cover up the first signs of rancidity,

Hah! That’s what my mom said about cooking meat and fish and smothering them in sauces! The sauces were to cover up the rancid meat/fish!

In addition, Just a part of this WOE. I “crave” salt

I know just whatcha mean. I crave it, too. In fact, I found a great little out-of-the-way place (that’s a little hard to get to) that has the BEST salt. The only thing is, if I wait too long, some of the locals get all the best stock:

The fancy store near us, which sadly went out of business, had some great French fermented butter. I never did a taste test though.

Then how did you know it was great?
