Why You Should Think Twice Before Buying Butter At Aldi Again

TWICE！

When it comes to butter, cheaper is not always better. While many great deals abound at Aldi, budget shoppers beware: Butter is not one of them. For starters, butter is not much of a bargain at Aldi. Due to an all-time high of butter consumption, and a global butter production bottleneck, butter prices are on the rise.

Then there is quality to consider. With Aldi brand butter so close in price to brand name butters, it may be worth cutting costs elsewhere and sticking with the glorious, golden spread produced by your favorite brand. And chances are, your go-to might be imported from Ireland. The Kitchn affirms that Kerrygold is one of the most popular butter brands consumed in the U.S. with good reason — it’s also the best, in their opinion.

Ireland has long been known for its decadent butter. In fact, Irish butter has been tantalizing palettes for as long as 3,000 years. While Kerrygold pure Irish butter is no longer churned by hand, it is still a product of pastoral tradition.

Kerrygold’s cows are raised on pasture, and that makes a huge difference. Kerrygold also tops Extra Crispy’s list of the best butters from the grocery store. Among its praises, Kerrygold is heralded for a sweet-salty flavor and luscious taste. Kerrygold even holds its own when paired against fancy and much pricier butters — the kind that might require a special shopping trip.

So what makes Kerrygold so unarguably, and downright delicious? Well, the biggest difference boils down to butterfat. European butter contains 82 percent butterfat, while American butter batches typically top out at 80 percent.
