I've never seen the unsalted at my Costco so I have never purchased.
I just bought a pack of the salted yesterday at my local Costco; they don't always carry it. But it was the first tine I'd also seen them carry the unsalted Kerrygold - we still cheap out on Trader Joe's unsalted for cooking or baking.
Nothing like a high quality butter. Kerrygold and a fresh, warm Lee's sandwich baguette is one of my favorite meals. It's amazing how something so simple can taste so good.
I love this butter for the winter because it spreads easily even when cold. It melts too fast to keep in a butter dish in the summer so I use the kirkland one when it's hot.
Bent prions can be expressed in milk (https://www.nature.com/news/2005/...031-7.html), so no go for us. Tasty butter isn't worth even a miniscule risk of dying from CJD and Ireland does still have the ocasional mad cow outbreak (1600+ cases since 2001, and one was found this year - the cow wasn't tested until it died, so god knows how much milk it was responsible for while infected).
I look longingly at this butter every time I pass it in costco, but I won't take the risk, no matter how small, because if you're hit, there's no cure and you die within months.

Dude if you are gonna use that from 15 yrs ago to justify not buying Irish butter you better not leave the house. Can you point to a single case of butter giving a human the disease, nevermind kerrygold? Because lots of studies show that walking, biking, or driving can result in instant death.
