I've taken butter on short trips. Also whole eggs, broccoli, carrots... various soft and hard cheeses... my favorite lunch is a cream cheese, dried cranberry and avocado wrap made with fresh 'cado or, goat cheese on crackers.

If it's too hot the menu changes somewhat. Butter turns to liquid when warm so a container that is waterproof and putting the container in a ziploc helps. But it's still butter....

For longer trips, ghee keeps better.
