Yes! According to the U.S. Agricultural Marketing Service, it is okay to freeze butter in its original packaging, and it will maintain it's store-bought quality for two months. According to the Publix website, butter can be kept for up to four months at 20 to 30°F (–6.6 to –1.1°C). At –10°F (–23.3° ), it can be kept for up to a year. To freeze it, place the packaged or wrapped butter in a plastic freezer bag, or wrap it in heavy foil.

Generally, you can freeze butter. Stick butter actually lasts longer that way. (We buy as much as we can when it's on sale and store it in the freezer.) Whipped tub butter may change a little texure, but it should be fine.

Never done it with soft. But the regular stuff freezes just fine.

hi Madman, in accordance to my experience convinced you are able to freeze butter even if the longest i have had it frozen replaced into about 6 months. i do not advise that you keep it frozen for to any extent further than that. sturdy-success

Yes, it's a good way to keep it fresh longer. I usually freeze the sticks and then pull out one at a time and keep that in the fridge.

Yes. Just put it in the refrigerator when you're ready to replace an opened one so it has time to defrost.

Fat doesn't freeze well at freezer temp. That's why ice-cream is softer than ice.
