ORIGINS
 
This butter is extracted from the pure bean of the cacao fruit itself.
The cacao is from our village of Mankrong and grown locally by our experienced farmers.
These very cacao trees are not mono-culturally invasive, but they are rather grown in little-medium forest patches within each farmer’s land. Meaning that every farmers still has lots of space for other crops and promote biodiversity.
Once harvested the cacao is then hand-processed, where the cacao gets roasted, pounded, and finally exposed to highly heated water where the natural separation among the water, paste and butter occurs.
The butter is then sieved and packaged with love, care and intentions all the way to you.
