of time butter can safely sit on your counter varies depending on a few environmental factors, primarily the temperature of your kitchen.
Below 70°F (21°C): If your kitchen stays relatively cool, you can safely leave salted butter out for up to a week (and sometimes up to two weeks, depending on the brand and salt content).
Above 70°F (21°C): In warmer environments or during the peak of summer, the fat in the butter can begin to separate, and the risk of spoilage increases. In these conditions, it is best to limit countertop storage to just a few days, or keep your main supply in the fridge and only leave out a small portion.
