Strength of Aroma Strong Aromatic Scent Cocoa butter has a soft, sweet cocoa aroma reminiscent of chocolate History Cocoa was an important commodity in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Spanish chroniclers of the conquest of Mexico by Hernan Cortes relate that when Montezuma II, emperor of the Aztecs, dined he took no other beverage than chocolate, served in a golden goblet and eaten with a golden spoon. Flavoured with vanilla and spices, his chocolate was whipped into a froth that dissolved in the mouth. No fewer than 50 pitchers of it were prepared for the emperor each day, and 2000 more for nobles of his court. Chocolate was introduced to Europe by the Spaniards and became a popular beverage by the mid 1600s. They also introduced the cacao tree into the West Indies and the Phillippines. The cacao plant was first given its botanical name by Swedish natural scientist Caolus Linnaeus in his original classification of the plant kingdom, who called it Theobroma ("food of the gods") cacao.

Each of our butters has fantastic emollient properties that help to enrich and smooth the skin. Shea Butter has a long history, and is now commonly used on dry skin, in moisturizing applications and as a massage butter by itself. Cocoa Butter is similar but with a longer shelf life due to its anti-oxidant properties. Mango Butter shares many of the same properties, only it is nearly fragrance free. For that reason it is used most often in formulations rather than as a stand alone product. We also carry several exotic Amazonian Butters. These too have excellent moisturizing and emollient properties, as well as being easy to market. They have to be tried to be truly appreciated. 100g 500g 1kg 4KG 25KG COCOA BUTTER $6.50 $20.00 $30.00 $99.00 $441.00 We stand behind our products and happily offer our confident guarantee.
