## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long will butter stay fresh in this crock?**
A: I have had it stay fresh up to 3 weeks before it's empty.   I change the water every 2 - 3 days.  I use organic butter.  Tried the regular brands and had them go bad.  Buy the good stuff and you'll be amazed

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: I really do not know where this item is made.  I bought it in red and believe the place it was made was listed with other information about the product.  I am enjoying mine.  It works great and I am thinking of buying some for presents.

**Q: How do you clean the bell and how frequently do you clean ut?**
A: Great question, please clean thoroughly in between uses and make sure the lid is completely dry before packing new butter into the lid. More info can be found here - https://www.butterbell.com/learn-more

**Q: Is the whole product glazed, inside and out?**
A: The lid of the Butter Bell crock (the rim) is unglazed due to the fact that it sits in the kiln to be fired on this side, thus no glazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfection
*by B***S on 10 October 2025*

Oh wow! Love this SOOO much I just had to get another! It works! simple but it works, butter is soft, fresh (you must change the water regularly) and you really get the taste of the butter and it’s spreadable. Perfection!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old technology - fabulous!
*by H***9 on 9 October 2013*

Talking with a friend about organic products, we thought of butter and the drawback of having to keep organic butter (or any butter for that matter) in the fridge and it being hard as nails when you want a smitch for your toast. I asked my mum how things were done in the days before fridges were commonplace and she said butter used to be kept in water so it remained fresh. It didn't take me long to come across the butter bell which is such a simple idea but now, every time I reach for the butter I am so thankful I have this little pot to hand. It's perfect, although a little small for a family perhaps, as it only takes about have a pack of butter at a time but I am sure almost anyone would love this fabulous addition to your kitchen worktop. I'm buying a few as Christmas gifts. I would recommend this to anyone; it's brilliant!
