Loving Earth Raw Organic Cacao Butter
It takes 2.5 – 3 pounds of beans to make just one pound of cocoa butter. Most cocoa butter is extracted at high heat, sometimes using solvents, thus destroying the Vitamin E content and often has pesticide residue, but not ours! (It’s certified organic AND Australian Customs regularly test it on import).
Description
Cacao Butter is the edible natural fat of the chocolate bean, cold pressed to retain its nutritional properties and exquisite natural aroma and flavour. 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.

Nutritional Information
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 a good source of Vitamin E (beta- and gamma- tocopherols) and has a 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.?
