Butter can be kept in a butter dish at room temperature for a short period, typically about a week, as long as the room isn't too warm. It helps maintain the soft, spreadable texture. However, if you want to store butter for a longer time, keeping it in the fridge is best. Just be sure to only keep out a small amount for immediate use and store the rest chilled to maintain freshness. Butter will not spread when served straight from the fridge.
