Build me up, butter(box).
If you love butter (and oh, do we love butter), you’ll want to keep it somewhere fresh and sealed off from fridge smells and flavors. Enter the butter box: A minimalist, Danish-designed container made of durable BPA and phthalate-free melamine with a bamboo lid. It fits most standard butter sizes, and is pretty enough to set on your table. Pair it with the matching bread box for a darling tabletop duo.

perfect butter keeper
I have struggled to find a butter dish/keeper that I can put in the fridge to store butter without too much air getting in, AND that is nice enough to put on the table for most occasions. I like the smaller, stoneware French butter keeper I got through Food52 some years ago, but tend to use it more for entertaining--it doesn't hold enough if you buy the half-pound butter size, and you have to remember to keep the water fresh. Also, it isn't really intended to be kept in the fridge, which is necessary for those of us who don't eat enough butter on a day to day basis to leave out on the counter. This modern melamine version does the job. It is easy to clean, and seems to keep the butter fresh, looks nice.
