Irische Butter gesalzen - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Kerrygold's salted butter, sold under the Kerrygold Halb brand in France and Germany, achieves a European Score of 100. The breakdown shows full marks for company headquarters (35) and manufacturing (35), with 15 for distribution and 5 for proximity, while ingredients score 10 and certifications contribute nothing, as no quality labels are recorded. Notably, the product's origins are stated as Ireland, meaning the dairy supply chain is rooted in the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state.

In the half salted butter category, this product ranks at the 74th percentile, outscoring 74% of the 72 products assessed — a strong relative position in a large and competitive segment.

For European-minded shoppers, this butter represents a straightforwardly European product: the company is headquartered within Europe, production takes place within the EU, and the Irish origin of the milk places the raw material firmly within the European agricultural system. Kerrygold is one of the most widely recognised Irish dairy brands internationally, and its presence across both French and German markets reflects a pan-European distribution footprint. The absence of any certification label means the score relies entirely on structural provenance rather than third-party endorsement. Nevertheless, the 74th percentile ranking confirms that this product competes well within its category purely on the strength of its European production chain, making it a reliable and widely available choice for consumers who prioritise European sourcing.
