“Something changed with their butter.

Costco loyalists agreed that the Kirkland brand’s sticks of salted butter are unreliable.

Several commenters agreed that Kerrygold, a brand that Costco sells, is the way to go.
Some shoppers are switching to Costco’s grass-fed version, which is roughly the same price as Kerrygold.
Have a bunch of Kirkland salted butter on hand?
Luckily, it’s returnable for a full refund, thanks to Costco’sgenerous return policy.
