Butter is a dairy product which we traditionally store inside of the refrigerator. However, most dairy products, such as milk and yogurt, contain a high amount of protein and water, which is why they need to be kept refrigerated. The makeup of butter is what makes it different.
Butter is comprised of mostly fat. This is the reason that butter is hard when kept in the refrigerator and becomes softened at room temperature. It’s also what makes it more shelf-stable than other dairy products. It also has a much lower water content. Additionally, Better Butter craft butters contain salt, which acts as a preservative, making our butters more shelf-stable than other butters that do not contain salt.
Better Butter is made from top-of-the-line ingredients and is designed to stay fresh on the counter for up to six weeks. This allows you easy access to flavorful, softened craft butter for all of your cooking needs. And let's be honest, as one of the staple ingredients in most households, Better Butter gets used far quicker than its shelf life allows.
While many people store their butter in the refrigerator, there are actually some advantages to keeping butter outside of the fridge.
Storing your butter outside of the refrigerator can be a great way to make sure your butter is always at the perfect consistency for spreading. Follow these tips to ensure your butter is ready for use all day long.
