Cacao was once so revered by the Mayans and the Aztecs that it was used as currency. Cacao butter is obtained by pressing the beans at low temperature, separating the oil from the protein and the fiber. There are no chemicals or solvents used in the process. Obtained from the whole cacao bean, cacao butter is a nourishing edible oil containing healthy fats along with a host of antioxidants. Superlife cacao butter is certified organic and gluten free.
