Kerrygold butter question

I love this stuff and buy it in bulk at Costco. I leave it on the counter in a butter thingy. That's one of the best parts - it's so beautifully soft and spreadable, compared with my years of refrigerating butter into a bread-ripping stone.
Anyway, in the past several weeks, I've noticed it staying pretty hard anyway on the counter - and that is with a more-or-less neutral indoor temp.
What gives? Is there a chance they changed the formulation? I asked a friend, and they said they noticed the same thing. (And no, didn't change from salt to unsalted.)

Unsalted (silver) is better than the salted (gold) pack at staying softer in my opinion

I've had the same problem recently! It's the best butter I've ever tasted, but the fact that it's so hard really bums me out.
We're still gonna buy it, though, because it's fricking delicious.

Have you tried Plugra? I love that stuff even more than I love Kerrygold.

Mine stayed soft in the fridge, very spreadable. Just started keeping it on the counter in a covered butter dish and it basically has the shape of the butter, but extremely soft.

I’ve actually found mine is softer than usual. It isn’t staying as hard when I take it out of the fridge

Maybe the cows are eating something different? Seasonal changes in the grasses they're consuming? Not sure. I know I buy a ton of it though.

Kerrygold unsalted is my general go-to butter in the house. Great flavor.
I must also recommend President butter as well. This is a "cultured" butter, so it has a 'zing' to it, somewhat like yogurt does. I wouldn't use it in baking, but I think it's amazing on fresh bread. I think several restaurants may use this butter.

The only butter I could find, right after covid hit, was reduced fat Kerrygold. It was hard as a brick.
It may be that they are quietly dialing back the butterfat content for the main product, which would make it less soft.

I can't f*ck with Kerry gold. It's too good. Butter shouldn't be addictive.
