Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Storage tip:
Salted butter can be frozen safely for up to 12 months, but the herbs and garlic added to flavoured butters may not last as long. A safe recommendation is to use within 4 months. To help keep the flavours locked in, store the wrapped log in an airtight container in the freezer.
