Kerrygold Unsalted Butter, 8 Oz Foil Pack (Pack of 5)

I bake. A lot. Unsalted butter is essential (baking takes measured salt -- no way to know how much is in a portion of salted butter). I especially like the rich taste of KerryGold. I used to buy the somewhat more spreadable version in the green tubs, but all the nearby stores stopped carrying it. Then I switched to these bricks, but they're gone locally, too. (But the salted version in both formats is still available). I was very happy to find them here on Amzn. The butter came in an insulated box, shipped overnight. They were still frozen on arrival. I will be ordering more, soon.

This is the 2nd time I have ordered the Kerrygold Unsalted Butter. I love the product, but the delivery packaging was not much better than a paper sack. The first time I ordered, it was late, but arrived in FINE condition and I was pleased. THIS 2nd time, it was late again, BUT the problem was that it also arrived in an uninsulated cardboard box. When I opened the cardboard box, there were a few of pieces of LOOSE styrofoam (not a tight seal) and 2 Igloo Ice Blocks that were NOT cold or even cool. The butter was MELTED and a left a MESS in the delivery box!!!

I like the fact that this butter is made from the milk of grass fed cows, so it is healthy. It has a beautiful yellow color. The taste is wonderful. I use it primarily for baking: pound cake, biscuits, bread, and pie crust. With this butter, the pie crust taste like flakey short bread.

This was the second time I ordered. Never got the first order. The second order arrived oily on the outer package. The inside was hot and dripping all over the floor.

I am currently using food stamps/SNAP and am a senior citizen on a fixed income. I was surprised to find I can buy this butter with SNAP and don't have to settle for a more familiar brand. This butter has a nice fresh taste that I like on my homemade breads and my freshly steamed veggies. I may be "economically challenged" but I do like good food when I can afford it.
