In a cool, dry place, away from direct sun. Kept cool it stays firm and lasts many months; a slightly warm room just softens it.

A mild, earthy, nutty scent from the roasted nuts. There are no perfumes or additives — that is simply what honest shea smells like.

Women's co-operatives around Tamale in northern Ghana, who gather the nuts, roast and churn the butter by hand. They are paid a fair, fixed price per kilo.

No. This is raw, unrefined butter: ivory to pale gold, with a gentle nutty smell. Refined shea is deodorised and bleached; we leave the butter as it is.

That is normal — raw shea turns slightly grainy as it cools after churning. It softens again in the warmth of your hand, and a gentle stir brings it back smooth.
