The organically grown fruit seeds (or nuts) of the shea tree are harvested. The green, edible peel is removed and then the fruit seeds are dried. Next the seeds are crushed, roasted and put through expeller pressing (with no solvents). Once pressed, the crude shea butter goes through our filtration and is packaged into 55lb cartons.
