NutriCraft Organic Criollo Cacao Butter - 500g, 100% Pure, Sustainably Sourced from Peruvian Amazon - For Baking, Chocolate Making, Body Butters, and Soaps - Quick Melting, Rich Chocolate Aroma

Description

The beans used to make our organic cacao butter are grown in the Peruvian amazon, the spiritual home of cacao. Our beans are 100% organic raw Criollo cacao beans, prized for their superior flavour over other varieties. Our cacao products are not roasted or Dutch processed (alkalized), making them raw. This cacao butter has not been refined/deodorised meaning that its amazing chocolate scent remains. There are a variety of uses for cacao butter but it is most commonly used to make chocolate and making homemade soap and moisturisers. None of our cacao products contain any additives or preservatives. This is 100% cacao butter, nothing added, nothing taken away! Cacao and Peru have a long history together, with the fruit and its beans having been enjoyed by natives long before it was exported worldwide. Cacao has a few different varieties; the Criollo variety is growing rapidly in popularity due to its higher quality resulting from greater fat content. Exquisite Peruvian cacao is well suited to agroforestry systems, which have less environmental impact compared to plantations in West Africa where it is typically grown in direct sunlight with fertilisers. This has led to substantial deforestation and makes Peruvian cacao a more sustainable option. Almost all of Peru s cacao is grown by small holders who rely on cacao s weekly harvest (the main harvest is from April - September) as their main source of income. Their crop is then sold to cooperatives who act as intermediaries; the cacao is then processed in Peru before being trucked to Lima and exported to the UK where we lovingly package it before sending it to you.
