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!

    1. I so enjoy blue cheese and one of my favorite ways to eat it is with pears.
      I like to split a pear in half, core it and grill it cut side first then when I turn it over I add blue cheese to melt into the core hole. When is all melty and yummy I drizzle with a baslamic reduction! So pretty and yummy.... desert or salad either one.
      I would use the Cashel soft Blue it would be perfect for this recipe!

    9. All of their cheddars taste perfect in my Potatoes au Gratin....though my preference is the Reserve!

    10. I love a good macaroni and cheese. I love it with Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese.

    11. My current fav mac & cheese would use several of these cheeses in the giveaway!
      Kerrygold Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey and Kerrygold Black Label Reserve Cheddar
      and a bit of Kerrygold Cashel Blue wheel

    14. They have cheeses I have never heard of! It's like wine!

      We, too, like pretty much anything with cheese in it. What I haven't yet tried, though, is a yeast bread with cheese baked into it. So I'm thinking I like the looks of the Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey. It would be quite tasty in a crusty loaf of some sort.
