Can butter be frozen? If so, for how long? Does the texture or flavor change after frozen?

Answers:

Yes it can be frozen. It doesn't change the flavor or texture- just allow it to naturally thaw in the fridge. You can freeze it for about 6 months easily.

Absolutely! One of the better ways to store it. Some recipes even require frozen butter.

The only way that I buy butter is in bulk (so much cheaper) and keep it in the freezer.  Like Chris, it's been in there for 6+ months, and it's still as good as the day that I bought it.  makes it easier when making biscuits and dough too.  nice and cold :)

Thank you to everyone for your helpful advice on freezing butter. 
With the cost of butter so high and a required baking ingredient, I can purchase it when it's on sale and stock up!!

I always freeze my butter! And buy lots when it's on sale! Most foods with a high fat content will store well and not affect their flavor/consistency.
Hope this helps!

Michelle, yes butter can be frozen for up to six months.  I normally purchase butter when it's on sale and then stock up my freezer.  Be sure to allow the butter to thaw in the fridge over night.
