Traditional Shea Butter Processing Method
NO CHEMICALS, NO DETERGENTS USED DURING PROCESSING
​- the nuts are sorted
- the nuts are hand washed
- the nuts are sun-dried
- the nuts are pounded with traditional wood pestles or a breaker
- the crushed nuts are roasted in large metal pots
- the roasted almonds are processed in a grinder to produce a brownish paste
- the brownish paste is processed again between two granite stones
- the brownish paste is then hand mixed and kneaded during many hours with addition of a small quantity of water. This produces a white/off-white thick foamy substance to obtain finally a whitish paste, the shea butter (This is the churning step we call ''barattage'')
- (purification step) the shea butter is added with some water in cauldrons and heated: the impurities fall down
- (filtration step) the purified shea butter is decanted and filtered when poured in the clean.
