Years ago I had a chance to pickup 60 lbs. of butter at a really low price. To store this butter I used a formula I came accrossed in an old book.
You pack the butter in layers of refined sea salt. I used 6 gallon food grade buckets and put a layer of salt down first about an inch thick then a layer of the butter cubes minus the wax paper wrapping. Filled to the top making sure to have again about an inch layer of the sea salt on top and sealed the bucket and stored it in our root cellar. We had fresh tasting butter over a year later.
I would pull out a lb. at a time and rinse off the salt in cold water. It worked great. Hope this may be of some help to anyone needing to store butter long term.
