Due to the crazy cocoa shortage in Africa, food companies are buying Brazil's cocoa seeds (hopefully it won't change the ethical ways we produce it), my Brazilian cacao butter quadrupled in price. I am not repassing it all to you but I had to raise my prices. I apologize, hopefully this issue won't be a lifelong problem for us and the world.

COCOA BUTTER - (Theobroma cacao)

I remember growing up in Rio de Janeiro and our "chapsticks" were lipstick shaped cocoa butter, yes I am that old. Cocoa butter is probably the one butter that everyone knows and it has a huge place in my heart. My beautiful cocoa butter comes from wild cacau (cacau selvagem) trees and it is harvested by fairly paid workers.

• Extraction Method: mechanically pressed seeds.

• Quality: 100 % pure, cold pressed without any chemical treatment, food grade.

• Country of origin: Brazil - wild harvested.

• Appearance:  off white to yellow solid hard butter. MY LATEST BATCH IS MORE YELLOW.

• Smell: different degrees of delicious chocolate smell.

• For chemical data and fatty acid composition refer to pictures.

ECOLOGY

*The Amazonian butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and ribeirinho people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements.

When we consume Amazonia's sustainable, non-timber-products, we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.

Rainforest Chica's products are wild harvested or ethically farmed. With constant focus on sustainability and fair treatment of harvester, farmers, transporters and producers.
