While it may be more expensive, we believe that grass-fed butter is worth the switch from typical, mass-produced butter. Of course there are many types of international butter with unique flavor profiles and tastes, with French butter usually being top of mind when it comes to the gold standard of butter, as well as yellow-hued Irish butter. It’s not from Ireland, but the source of Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Butter is also known for rolling green hills and pastures, and the butter gives Ireland’s Kerrygold a run for its money.

The producer behind Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Butter is Westland Milk Products, located on the verdant South Island of New Zealand. While Ireland is renowned for its dairy cows and green landscapes, New Zealand’s landscape is also ideal for cows to roam and graze.

Westland Milk sources milk for their butter from about 400 nearby farms every day during spring, summer, and fall, ensuring that the milk is fresh before being processed into butter and other dairy products. Grass-fed butter from Westland Milk Products contains a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important in maintaining cell health, but our bodies don’t produce enough of naturally so we need to get them from outside sources. Considering that the country of
