Cut butter into smaller pieces and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add garlic, fresh herbs, and salt, and beat with a mixer on low speed until combined (you can also do this by hand).

When the herbs and seasonings are fully combined, turn butter out onto the center of a piece of plastic wrap.

Fold one end of the wrap over the butter and use your hands to form the butter into a disc or log. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap closed and seal tightly.

Then wrap tightly in a piece of foil or parchment and store in the freezer.
