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 love a warm gooey grilled cheese sandwich and I would use Kerry's Cheddar variety!
Fettucine Alfredo with some shredded Duhallow sounds great.
So basically I love any receipe with cheese in it so I don't think I can pick one, but swiss is my favorite so I'd probably use that in whatever recipe I made!

I am a fan of B&B on Facebook.
I would love to try making mac 'n' cheese with a combination of their Red Leicester and their Cheddar. 🙂
i already like bluebonnets and brownies on facebook!!
Their Ivernia cheese is probably one of my favorite cheeses EVER. Its one of the few cheeses that I'm willing to eat on its own. It's hard and robust and strong, sort of like the Irish version of Parm-Reg.
If I am cooking, I love to mix up cheeses in my favorite risotto or mac and cheese. (Note to self... try the Ivernia in risotto... end note.) I'd really enjoy making a mac and cheese with Red Leicester and Blarney Castle.
@NanaBread - Your idea for using the Dubliner for cheddar scones sounds oh so yummy!! I may have to try that!
(Oh, and I like you on Facebook too!)
Luck to all 🙂
