Yes, you can freeze Butter, and it actually freezes very well. 🧈❄️
How long butter lasts in the freezer
- Unsalted butter: up to 12 months
- Salted butter: about 9 months
Salted butter keeps slightly less time because salt can affect the texture during long freezing.
How to freeze butter properly
- Keep the butter in its original wrapper.
- Put it inside a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent absorbing odors.
- Store at −18 °C (0 °F) or lower.
How to thaw it
- Move it from freezer to refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- For quick use, leave it at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
Will freezing change the taste?
Usually no. If wrapped well, butter keeps its taste and texture almost the same after freezing.
✅ Tip: You can also freeze butter in smaller pieces so you only thaw what you need.
