Now that the weather is warming up, we’re itching to get outside and gather with family and friends. We’re planning feasts large and small to celebrate the season and turning to Kerrygold Irish Butters and Cheeses to help ensure they’re as special as can be.

Whether it’s an arugula salad full of spring vegetables or a creamy risotto studded with shrimp, asparagus, and peas, the addition of Kerrygold Irish Butters and Cheeses, made with milk from grass-fed cows that graze on the lush pastures of Ireland, is the secret to ensuring it’s a dish that stands out. Their specialty cheeses, such as distinctly sharp Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar Cheese, lend bold flavor to even the simplest of spring dinners, while the naturally golden hue of Kerrygold Butter results in unbeatable richness. Both are cooking staples that will enhance feasts of all kinds this season.

Here are 14 recipes we can’t wait to make and share with family and friends this spring:
