Butter doesn't need refrigeration because it doesn't mold. Butter is so fatty that the problem is exposure to air will turn the oils rancid. Having room temperature butter exposes the convenience of it as a condiment because it spreads so easily and pairs will so much in the kitchen.

Imagine a snack of a buttered slice of bread that has no bread tearing, no gentle buttering - slather with abandon using room temp butter!

Butter bell is peak for counter storage. Protects from light and air.

I don’t why you’re being downvoted. You don’t need to keep butter in the fridge, that’s just a conspiracy started by Big Refrigerator.

Someone lives in a nice cool environment and it shows.

Actual bread can manage

I live in a desert and like having a puddle of oil on the counter even less. Winter months, sure. But 75% of the year it just isn't an option. I've lost entire freshly opened sticks leaving them out for a couple hours after cooking.

I use that entire drawer for cheeses.
