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.

Love my modern butter box
Love everything about this item...great materials...great design..practical...I am very pleased with this purchase...I will probably order another for the refrigerator...
Terrific
I love this box—it holds a large block of butter, and I just take it out a couple hours before I know we’ll be needing it so the butter can soften. The butter seems to stay fresher and tidier than when I just keep it in its wrapper in the fridge.
Tres Chic and Functional
My husband and I use this almost everyday. Kerrygold Irish Butter (which we are obsessed with) fits perfectly in this box. Its easy to clean since there is a removable container that the butter sits in. I also like the materials and the color - Its not fragile like most butter dishes. Super happy I got this for our kitchen!
