Is there a huge difference between regular peanut butter and natural peanut butter?

Both natural and regular peanut butters may contain some sugar and salt for flavoring. Some brands also contain a small amount of stabilizer (partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) to keep the oil from separating, which most consumers prefer. This also helps maintain peanut butter freshness.

How should I store the butter?

Vermont Butter & Cheese Company: Frequently Asked Questi...
Once opened, refrigerate butter in its original barrier film inside of its resealable envelope in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not in the refrigerator door! We recommend slicing from the roll and keeping the remainder of butter in the barrier film. This film helps to protect the butter from absorbing odors from other foods in your refrigerator. Fresh cultured butter should have a delicate cream and nutty flavor and a pale yellow color.
