Butter is butter, you might say. But don’t jump to conclusions, and take the time to taste Abernethy butter, a product churned in Northern Ireland and served in the most prestigious establishments! It is said to be one of the best butters not only in Ireland, but in the world!
In Ireland, we don’t mess around with good things! Even butter is enjoying a certain prestige thanks to Abernethy! It produces butter from the milk of cows grazing peacefully in the Lagan Valley(County Antrim).
Their secrets are well-guarded, but their traditional manufacturing methods make for an exceptional farmhouse butter, soft, fine and generous on the palate! There’s no need to match it with a dish: just tasting it will leave you with fond memories of your gastronomic vacation in Northern Ireland!
In fact, its taste is such that this butter is one of the luxury products offered in hotels to customers with good budgets!
But don’t worry: “Abernethy butter” is still affordable and can be bought in County Antrim, in specialist stores selling local produce.
Don’t leave the region without tasting it: it’s well worth the detour! Especially on a good Irish soda bread, with an Irish stew or a piece of cheese. Irish farmland will take on a whole new meaning for you!
