Kerrygold butter and cheeses are made with milk from grass-fed cows that are raised the natural way—free of growth hormones and nurtured on small, family run Irish dairy farms. Ireland's mild, temperate climate and abundant rainfall provides natural irrigation for the land and an ideal environment for our grass-fed herds to graze.
