Ann,

I agree with Sally completely. Occassionally I will forget some homemade raw butter that somehow gets lost in the back of the frig and find it weeks later or longer, smelling strong and cheesy, but I always eat it, and actually find it to be extra yummy on toast, on the very rare occasions that I even have any bread to toast.

If I have to be a grownup, can I at least be telekinetic too?

Ann--

When this happens, I just divide it up and use it as "culture" for a less expensive Butter (yes, even a cheap store butter...).

Sometimes the taste is not what you desire....

If it's really Strong, I will use appx 1/4 cup per fresh pound sticks. Mash/whip it together and Freeze.

But that cheesy stuff is really Great melted over Popcorn.

Re: Cheezy smelling butter

> About 3 w/ends ago, I bought some raw butter, but it's starting to smell like cheese. > Thanks.> AnnHi Ann,Haven't thoroughly proven this theory yet but I believe that to keep the fresh flavor, it should be kept in the freezer. Don't think the flavor can last "out of freezer" very long. Next batch, try keeping out only the amount that you will use in a day for example.For about a year I thought that all raw butter had the cheesy flavor and I didn't like to eat it. Now that I keep it in the freezer, I love it! Many people love the cheesy flavor or some say that they don't eat raw butter for it's flavor but for it's value.Just found out about a place that is selling raw butter via UPS for $8 per pound plus shipping. It will be about $11 to ship the 10 pound minimum to where I live.~~Cyndy

One last offering - one of my left over butter discoveries in back of frig smelled and tasted like blue cheese. It didn't have blue or green mold, but really had the taste, and was DELICIOUS. So I would even recommend allowing butter, if available, to culture beyond the norm.

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded with ideas and suggestions. I wanted to make sure I can keep eating it. I eat cheese once in the blue, so I figured cheesy butter shouldn't be so bad.Popcorn, a great idea. I'll try it tomorrow w/ my daughter.
