Certified Organic fairly traded 100% raw criollo cacao butter buttons (Theobroma cacao criollo)
All cacao is not created equal. Our cacao butter is cold pressed from certified organic cacao beans to retain its nutritional properties, exquisite natural chocolate aroma and flavour and luscious texture.
We never use high heat or solvents to extract this edible fat from the bean and we do not bleach or deodorise our cacao butter. Cacao Butter is a very stable product with a long shelf life. When the butter is melted, small amounts of humidity or aeration variations can occasionally lead to a white-ish appearance on the butter. This is a completely natural occurrence and does not affect the taste or quality of the cacao butter. Fairy traded sustainable cacao ensures producers receive a fair price for their cacao and helps break the cycle of poverty bringing opportunities and dignity to indigenous communities.
Cacao butter's ultra smooth texture and rich chocolate aroma is exceptional for creating smooth, rich, gourmet chocolate, ice cream, desserts, healthy raw treats, and blending into your hot drinks. Add Power Super Foods Cacao Powder to make delicious gourmet vegan chocolate, use as a dairy substitute in recipes or melt a button or two in your morning coffee or hot chocolate. Melting at body temperature, cacao butter is also a nourishing skincare ingredient to include in a home made aromatic moisturiser, massage oil, soap or lip balm.
Native to South American rainforests surrounding the Amazon, Theobroma cacao (a name translating to “food of the Gods”) has attracted the adoration of humanity dating back to ancient Mayan civilisation where cacao was prized for its ability to promote energy and mental clarity.
