Certified Organic Cacao Butter
Cocao Butter is the edible natural fat of the chocolate bean, cold pressed to retain its nutritional properties and exquisite natural aroma and flavour.
It takes 2.5 - 3 pounds of beans to make just one pound of cocoa butter.
It's traditionally been used as a rich natural moisturiser; as a sexy and decadent massage oil; for soothing babies sore bums; in organic-based cosmetics like lipstick and balm and in luxury soapmaking.
We all know the myth that 'fat is bad for you' - in fact 'good' saturated fats are important for overall health and required by the body for skin and hair quality, hormonal regulation and fertility - and are irrelevant to cholesterol and weight gain.
Cacao Butter is also a great source of Vitamin E (beta- and gamma- tocopherols0 and has unique composition including the essential fatty acids Omega-6 and monounsaturated Omega-9 (oleic acid like olive oil) as well as stearic acid - an unusual fat in that it neither increases nor decreases blood cholesterol.
Serving Suggestion:
Warm gently until soft (melting point approx 35C / 95 F), then add as desired to raw foodist concostions, chocolate creations, smoothies or desserts - or smear on skin and lips for the ultimate moisturiser.
