Description A butter bell or butter keeper is the traditional way the French sto re and serve butter. It features two components, the bell (inner part) and the base (outer part). It helps keep butter fresh on the counter for up to 30 days. Fill the inner (bell) jar with butter and the base with enough water that it touches the base of the bell.
