Growing in the rain-forest belt of East + West Africa, allanblackia is a solid edible vegetable butter extracted from seeds.
The seeds yield ~ 50% of oil which due to its high stearic acid content, quickly solidifies into butter. It has a melting point of 42°C. Allanblackia has a lovely natural scent of a very soft vanilla undertone.
Low in protein, allanblackia butter is an excellent substitute for cocoa butter or kokum butter - it helps to moisturise the skin and condition the hair without a greasy feel. It has a high percentage of stearic making it most stable and one of the hardest exotic butter.
Allanblackia has an oleic acid [moisturiser] content of 40%. It is however a “non-greasy/dry” butter and can be used in soaps, lip balms, hair products etc.
Please note that we sell our range of butters by weight. Since this butter is not re-melted for sale, we use slightly bigger jars - eg. you would receive a 50g butter in a 125ml jar, a 100g butter in a 250ml jar .....
