""If you'll be enjoying your butter within a month, keep it refrigerated. For the freshest taste, we don't recommend leaving Kerrygold butter at room temperature for more than four hours.""
""TCS foods include many dairy products that should be stored at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. The only type of butter you should leave out at room temperature is salted butter, which has a high fat and salt content that slows the growth of bacteria.""
Butter can be stored at room temperature if consumed within a month, but refrigeration is recommended for optimal taste. Salted butter is safe to leave out briefly due to its high fat and salt content, which inhibits bacterial growth. Unsalted butter, whipping butter, and margarine should be refrigerated. The FDA suggests refrigeration for maximum shelf life, but not all butter types are classified as Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods.
