Once I open the butter carton, how should I store the butter?
Once opened, refrigerate butter, in its original container in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not in the refrigerator door. To further protect butter, store in a resealable plastic food bag.
Fresh butter should have a delicate cream flavor and pale yellow color. Butter quickly picks up “off” flavors during storage and when exposed to oxygen. The
FlavorProtect ™ Wrapper , found on LAND O LAKES ® Salted and Unsalted Butter, is specially designed to keep the creamy taste you love in and other flavors out. However, for further protection, store butter away from foods with strong odors, such as onions or garlic.
