Kerrygold Giveaway
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Tina R.! We hope you enjoy all that fabulous cheese and buttah!
This post is a long time coming. Last year, I had the privilege of participating in a blogger contest for Kerrygold Cheese and Butter. Kerrygold asked us to review and highlight the virtues of their newest products, Naturally Softer Pure Irish Butter and Reduced Fat Irish Butter.
I had an absolute blast creating four compound butters: Maple Honey Nut Butter, Mexican Hot Chocolate Butter, Pumpkin Spice Brown Sugar Butter, and Texas Gold Butter.
Texas Gold was by far my favorite, though each is delicious in its own way. Texas Gold, however, I could eat on a shoe and be happy. It combines garlic and onion, salt and pepper, cheddar, and paprika - flavors familiar to Texas foodies. They often make an appearance in Texas cuisine, barbecue and otherwise.
I'm so pleased to tell you that I happened to win Kerrygold's Reduced Fat and Naturally Softer Pure Irish Butter Great Ideas Blogger Contest!
Even if I'd never had the opportunity to participate in the Kerrygold contest, or win it, I'd be writing to you about their fabulous cheese and butters. We purchased Kerrygold when we lived in the UK, and we were so happy to find it when we landed in New Jersey.
All of Kerrygold's butters are of the very highest quality. Their cows live a happy life in fields of Irish green, and you can see it in the butter. As they say, the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the golden color found naturally in Kerrygold's butter due to all the beta carotene in the grass the cows munch on all their lives.
I could wax poetic about the cheeses Kerrygold offers. By far my favorite is the Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey. I could eat this cheese every day for the rest of my life and call it good. It's nutty, it's creamy, and the whiskey asking yourself, "just what is that party on my tongue?".
To celebrate my contest win, I asked Kerrygold if I could create a giveaway basket to give to one of you so that you'd have the chance to experience all my favorite Kerrygold products. Hooray for Kerrygold being generous, because they said yes!

I would make my homemade macaroni and cheese with the aged cheddar with Irish Whiskey
Would make Mac and cheese with the aged cheddar with whiskey
I made a Guinness burger a few weeks ago--heavenly, divine--and the Aged Irish cheddar was soooooo good. I would definitely make that again.
Hi Amber,
Thanks for the big giveaway. My favorite among Kerrygold's cheese is the Dubliner Aged Cheddar. My favorite recipe using this cheese will be potate au gratin. It gives a sharp nutty flavor to the otherwise bland potatoes. Not just that, I used to live in Dublin. Ireland before I moved to the US, and always used Kerrygold cheese and butter for everyday use. I was thrilled to find it here. I use Kerrygold butter for making soda bread. Kerrygold cheese and butter relates to fond memories in Ireland. Thanks again for hosting this event.
Nummy. Would use the aged cheddar with whiskey in my scalloped potatoes!!!
I am now following on Pinterest...Great photos by the way.
I love a good cheddar with french onion soup - in fact, I believe I've used the black label kerrygod before!

I go with a grilled cheese with their aged cheddar.
I love italian food, so I would probably use the Ivernia cheese melted over a boneless skinless chicken breast, with sundried tomatoes, and a lemon butter sauce.
