How are the butters produced? These amazing butters are produced in small batches which allows me to ensure they are whipped throughout and to perfection. The raw materials are melted and then the fixed oils and natural preservatives are added. They are then placed in the freezer to begin to solidify. Next the whipping magic begins! Whip, whip, whip, whip! Finally the remaining additives are added with the fragrance being added at the end. The butters are spooned into frosted or blue jars, labeled, and complete! Back to top
