The Irish Dairy Board's Kerrygold Range Offers One of the Few Cheeses And
Butters on the Market Produced From a Grass-Fed System
CHICAGO, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Foodies and Families alike now stroll the
aisles of markets and grocers committed to bringing the most natural products
to customers for their daily shopping needs. With Kerrygold(TM) available in
over 90 countries, consumers are discovering the true taste of dairy in its
purest form with such cheeses as the Dubliner, awarded the IFEX gold medal for
best overall specialty cheese, and Kerrygold Irish Swiss as well as
Kerrygold's rich butter. Produced from grass-fed, cow's milk, Kerrygold is
able to provide a premium range that meets the highest standards and surpasses
other dairy lines with their "clean" products, free from hormones and
preservatives.
"Today, you hear chefs talk about the slow food movement, and, at first, I
didn't know what they meant," explained market development manager Roisin
Hennerty. "And then, I realized that it was something that we have been doing
all along." The slow food movement is simply a renewed focus on the flavors
that some believe to be falling away from mainstream consumption due to
multiple reasons including accessibility and availability. These items often
come from small producers, and all are foods that are meant to be savored.
They are not flavors that come through multiple ingredients or industry
enhancements. "Kerrygold has always regarded its approach as clean and
uncomplicated," Hennerty went on to say. "We do things the way that they were
done hundreds of years ago, and therefore, when you taste Kerrygold, you taste
the rich history of Ireland. Consumers taste the difference with the first
bite."
Situated on the western edge of Europe, Ireland benefits from the Gulf
Stream winds of the Atlantic and enjoys a mild climate that gives them the
longest grass growing season in the world. Its dairy herd produces
approximately 4,500 million liters of milk every year that is hormone and
preservative free. Additionally, Ireland has a much smaller herd size
compared to most other countries, where herd size is sometimes as large as
175 cows. Since its inception in 1961, the Irish Dairy Board has been the
central exporter of Ireland's dairy products and has worked to bring the
Kerrygold range to more than 90 countries worldwide.
Kerrygold's grass-fed dairy cows produce milk that is high in
Beta-Carotene, nature's own pigment, and therefore, its cheese and butter
range have a distinctive golden color. Each product is appropriately aged to
create a unique flavor definition including the Dubliner with its gentle
sweetness, the Irish Swiss with its nutty fullness and the Smoked Blarney with
its mild smokiness.
Paired with a great lager, stout or favorite wine, the Kerrygold line
stands alone or offers chefs a palette of tastes to combine in the kitchen.
