Our shea butter is extracted manually from the centre of Tede Local Government Area it’s a shea butter production centre, with hard-working women processing raw shea nuts into fine butter. Traditional methods are used to extract nuts from shea fruits found in karité trees that grow in the wild. The nuts are then washed and sun-dried to sort for quality. The outer skins are removed through a parboiling process before grinding starts. Afterwards, the groundnuts are roasted outside, over an open flame before going through a simple milling processing machine that squeezes the oil from the shea residues. This produces dark-brownish paste kneaded by hand for up to two hours to get excellent quality shea butter. Then, the oil is left to cool, and the result is the creamy off white yellowish colour, solid shea butter, which is ready to be weighed and packaged.
