So I recently noticed there's mold inside of the jar. There is a strong green blobby (many circular spots) of mold along the edge towards the fill line of the clarified butter. There is less towards the cap,

There is no mold on the butter, but I wouldn't know if there was any as it's used daily.

I should note that I made this clarified butter myself 1-2 months ago. This jar of butter had started to be used 2 weeks ago or so and only now am I noticing the mold. It was stored in the fridge until I took it out to use it where it's always on the counter. I don't know if other spoons that weren't 100% clean were used.



Do I wipe down the mold and transfer the butter to a clean jar? Or will that make the mold spread onto the butter?

Also I did taste just now and it's not rancid or off.
