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.
