While making my dinner I noticed the best before date on the butter, does it go off? I tend to just use it until it's gone, it's always been ok. The butter I just used was best before 22nd May!! :shock:

never lasts long enough in our house as I only buy butter, but it can be frozen :D

I think it'd be fine Jo, just not at its best regarding quality.
It might be a good diea to cut it in half and freeze it, as Gilly says.

Mmm, yes I might next time... I wasted nearly half a packet on my disastrous chocolate fudge cake earlier! Doh!

Butter can go rancid if it's not kept at the right temperature. If you taste a little bit you'll soon know. q20

I always freeze it.
