Unrefined Shea butter is an ivory or yellow colored fat extracted by crushing and boiling the seeds obtained from Shea-karite trees. Shea trees are only found in Africa though the product is now being used by entire world. The production of unrefined shea butter is done within 24 hours so as to maintain fresh and healthy shea butter.

First the nuts are collected from shea trees and then rinsed and washed numerous times with clean hot water. Any possible surface molds or oils emitted by bad nuts will be removed by this process.  After cleaning the nuts, there are kept in hot sun to get dried up. All the wet nuts are allowed to dehydrate which enables us to remove the bad or black nuts. Good nuts are isolated and used to produce shea butter thereby ensuring the production of quality shea butter.

After the good nuts are identified and separated, they are crushed to smaller pieces with the help of crushing machines and then poured into a roaster to be roasted for 30 minutes. Later they are taken our and allowed to cool for about 20-30 minutes. After cooling for some time, they are milled into fine paste with milling machine.

Shea nut paste is then mixed with cold water and churned with hand to make it smooth and uniform. It is made into smooth texture by continuing to churn and add cold water time to time.

The paste is vigorously mixed till the fat starts to break away from the cake. At this point hot water is added slowly to the paste and the fat melts and is separated from the paste. The amount of time between crushing and heating decides the quality of unrefined shea butter. The paste is mixed more vigorously till the emulsion breaks out. Maintaining warm temperature is essential to keep it in semi solid state. Cold water is mixed in large amounts to make the paste oily and scum. After stirring it for long time the fat floats on the cold water and separated and boiled and melted. The liquid fat is filtered through a micro film and then allowed to solidify. It is then weighed and sealed with industrial vacuum cleaner, placed into air tight bags and sent for export.
