I also just returned home from our local health food store with our first bottle of cod liver oil. Now, if our budget was sky high I most definitely would've ordered the fermented clo with butter oil. At this point in time that's not going to be working for us. So I was thinking... if I made ghee with Kerrygold and then took an amount with our clo... would that be similar? or ridiculous? :-) If you think that idea might not be too bad, how much do you think an adult should take? or a child? Husband and I will be taking 1 tsp. a day of clo and our little ones I'm planning on giving 1/2 tsp. a day. I know you aren't a doctor, just looking for your opinion! :-) What do you think! I'd love to hear back from you! Thanks Kimi! Erin Hi Kimi,

I'm trying to figure out if I bake with the Kerrygold or use it topping vegetables and breads and such. If it does diminish the benefits would it be more cost effective to use regular organic butter for baking? Just trying to get the most bang for my butter buck!!!

I didn't really like skimming my milk (though I probably could have considering that many of my jars were literally half cream!), but I liked to drink the milk whole. Sono would sometimes make her own raw butter, but it was very expensive because our source for milk was on the upper end of price (and quality, thankfully). I think she would sometimes feed her skim milk to the dogs, rather than drink it. So she used a lot of Kerrygold as well. <br/><br/>So, in the end, I think making your own butter is great, it just never really worked in my budget to use my raw milk for it.<br/><br/>If I only had a cow... LOL And if I could only have dairy again..... Lindsay,

Have you ever tried? How would this compare to Kerrygold in your opinion? This could be a separate post in and of itself...but only if you have the time. ;) Thanks dear!

I could also go to Whole Foods, but Trader Joe's is walkable from my house - which I might need before slathering my new butter on my (first batch!) of homemade sourdough bread. . . Of course, it'll be difficult for me to ignore their dark chocolate pistachio toffee while I'm there, one might fall in my basket . . . :)<br/><br/>Best,<br/>Sarah I think I am going to have to make a special trip to Trader Joe’s to pick up some Kerrygold – you’ve convinced me!

Are you going to the website that is specifically for the US? I didn't know it at first, but they have a separate one for the US. <br/><br/>www.kerrygold.com/usa <br/><br/>hope that helps!

We don't have Whole Foods in Mississippi... just Kroger and such.... I tried emailing them and asking but they never responded to me. How do you find someplace that sells that butter?

I always use the salted, just because that's what we always have on hand. So, I haven't tried using unsalted before. The salted has worked great for me. :-) <br/><br/>Lindsay, <br/> I know what you mean. We also have to try to stretch our butter. Joel and I both love it, so we have to be careful. I am glad that you like it though! It's so fun to be able to share favorite things and have other people like them too! Valerie,
