Have you tried Chef Shamy’s butter before? It is so delicious!

Chef Shamy’s slogan is Make the World a Butter Place®! I love it! Their butter doesn’t contain any oil and is a clean label. The savory butter can also be used in Keto Recipes for all of you that are low carbers!

Shelf life information is particularly useful for their butter:

  • The testing of the shelf life of Chef Shamy butter began several years ago when I left a container of sealed garlic butter on my counter for 3 months and then sent it to the Food Sciences Division of Utah State University for testing.
  • The butter tested well for 6 more months at that time. That is what gives rise to the 1-year shelf life (unopened) after manufacture. That said, here are the numbers and the suggestions:
  • Good for up to 2 years frozen (can be refrozen and re-refrigerated)
  • Good for up to 1 year unopened in your fridge
  • Good for up to 6 months after opening in your fridge if you use clean utensils
  • Good for up to several weeks after opening on your counter.
  • The time it will remain usable on your counter depends on ambient temperature, cleanliness of utensils, type of butter (garlic does the best as it contains the following bacterial inhibitors: Salt, Pepper, and Garlic (which has been acidified with vinegar)
  • Lemon dill Sautee butter should be refrigerated after each use as it tends to go rancid after a few days on your counter.

The long and short of it is, if you are going to use it up it is easier to use at room temperature. If you are going to have it around for 6 months I would definitely refrigerate between uses. That will give you a longer shelf life and a fresher taste. Chef Shamy butter (honey and garlic) that stayed on my countertop for weeks at a time. But the quality and flavor (like any butter) degrade over time.

Melt the Chef Shamy Garlic Butter in Microwave.

Slice up the Boule loaf into cubes, drizzle butter in between loaf.

Cut up Mozzarella String Cheese into small chunks, insert into bread.
