Shea Nut to Shea Butter – Cooking and Filtering

Posted on 11. Sep, 2009 by funlayo in Production

The kneading and washing process causes the Shea butter emulsion to float to the top of the basin. The next step is to skim the butter emulsion into an aluminum pot and cook over a fire. This process causes the water to evaporate and separates the chaff from the butter. The liquid butter is then filtered to remove any small particles or debris to obtain good quality butter
