FAQ’s

Does homemade butter need to be refrigerated?

Not necessarily, according to usdairy.com.

If you prefer unsalted or whipped butter, you should refrigerate your butter. Salted varieties are less likely to spoil on the counter. If the temperature in your kitchen goes above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, no matter what type of butter you use, your butter should go into the fridge to avoid going bad. You can even store it in the freezer if you want to keep it for a few months.
