It was during Thanksgiving that I went to the grocery store, buying the ingredients for the big non-turkey roast that we did...Non-turkey because our family is not the biggest fan of turkey in general, and as a result, turkey leftovers may stay in the freezer for a year! So, we did duck instead, which turned out great. But, in my grocery hunt, I came across pasture-fed butter by Kerrygold. I know that pasture-fed anything (or I should say, any animal that should feed on grass) is always a better choice. In general, I don't eat a lot of butter, and have never tried pasture-fed butter. I decided to give it a whirl.
Boy oh boy, have I been missing out! It is a similar experience to when I first tried grass-fed milk, the taste was out of this world different! There was actual aroma to the taste of the milk. You can read more on my previous post: Got Milk?. This butter from pasture-fed cows in Ireland was so aromatic. In my opinion, worth its double in price, especially when you want to spread it on bread or use it for dipping. Baking, not so much.
We decided to go big one night and bought a couple of lobsters. Steamed the lobsters, and I used the grass-fed butter for the dipping sauce with garlic and lemon. I went bonkers. Lobster and pasture-fed butter, an incredible combination.
