      I recommend a butter keeper / butter pot to on the counter. They’re designed to use water to seal the air out. Butter will keep for a week or two without any quality issues if you exchange the water in the butter pot daily.

      Though these are an inverted system, so if your living space is consistently warm enough to melt the butter, it may not be a great solution.

      I think with most butter you’re supposed to mash it with the side of the knife to get it smooth and squishy so it spreads well.

      Slice off a pad and pop it on a plate, then microwave it a little.

      I don’t know if that’s how you’re supposed to do it, but it sure as hell works.
