Kerrygold, Ireland’s original and best-loved butter brand, has been at the heart of shared mealtime moments for generations. Made from the milk of Irish grass-fed cows, Kerrygold is known for its rich tasting, high-quality dairy products that have become household favourites around the world.
For the first time in the brand’s sixty-year history, it has entered a whole new category in Ireland, with the exciting introduction of Kerrygold Cream Cheese. This new addition to the Kerrygold family offers three new varieties in a range of rich and decadent flavours, including Natural, Sweet Pepper & Chilli, and Garlic & Herb. All made with the same care and craft as the butter Kerrygold is famous for, the new grass-fed cream cheese range promises to elevate dishes and inspire Irish food lovers seeking to add a touch of gold to their kitchen creations.
What makes it different?
Kerrygold products are all produced in Ireland using milk from Irish grass-fed cows that are cared for by a community of 14,000 dairy farming families. Milk from grass-fed cows, is the source of the richness and creamy texture that can be found in Kerrygold products – timeless qualities that have earned Kerrygold recognition among consumers, chefs and celebrity fans alike, along with a proud place in family homes and fridges across the globe.
Kerrygold is now bringing these familiar qualities to a new place with the introduction of a new cream cheese range. Cream cheese is a remarkably versatile ingredient that has the potential to transform the simplest of dishes into something unforgettable. Its smooth texture and mild flavour make it an ideal go-to for both savoury and sweet recipes, and with three distinct variants on offer, Kerrygold Cream Cheese ensures there is something for everyone.
Here are three ways you can get creative with Kerrygold Cream Cheese.
1. Delectable Dips & Spreads
Cream cheese is widely cherished as the key ingredient for delectable dips and spreads. Its robust texture and sumptuous flavour lay the groundwork for an assortment of taste profiles. Simply try Sweet Pepper & Chilli, or Garlic & Herb, along with indulgent crackers, breads and breadsticks, to experience the full flavour that Kerrygold Cream Cheese brings to the table.
Or if that doesn’t do the trick, then mixing the Natural option in with your favourite seasoning, spices, herbs or sauces, can open a world of new flavour to bring your starter or grazing board to a new level. Its creamy texture also contrasts beautifully with the crunch of fresh vegetables, whether it be carrots, cucumber or peppers.

The classic way to enjoy the full benefits of what Kerrygold Cream Cheese offers is to grab yourself a freshly baked bagel and lather it with your cream cheese of choice, along with a mix of toppings. The ideal breakfast snack or lunchtime reward, a bagel with cream cheese is quick, easy to prepare and is sure to delight everyone around your table.
2. Savoury Sensations
Kerrygold Cream Cheese also shines in savoury dishes. The ready-made Garlic & Herb or Sweet Pepper & Chilli can be sautéed into a range of tomato-based pasta dishes to deliver a special edge, while the Natural cream cheese can be combined with a little pasta water and parmesan to create a wonderful indulgent cream sauce. Having Kerrygold Cream Cheese close-by can help elevate weeknight dinners without too much effort. It also works wonders as an ideal ingredient for mash, or as a stuffing for roast chicken, perfect for Sunday dinner – not just midweek!
