Baraka Cocoa Butter is made from sustainably grown and community harvested cocoa beans. Originating from small-holder farms, the beans are harvested and prepared using traditional techniques.

As our cocoa butter is crafted in small batches, some natural variation in scent is normal. Occasionally, the cocoa butter may have a stronger roasted chocolate scent.

    Wow!! Good stuff!

    This is my first time purchasing cocoa butter from BARAKA. I've used cocoa butters from other sources. I thought BARAKA's quality was impressive! The aroma was beyond my expectations. I couldn't stop smelling it as it was so chocolaty that I really wanted to eat it. I don't think I would buy it from other companies anymore!!

    LOVE!

    I can't stress enough how fortunate I am to have this company on Vancouver Island! I can feel confident that I am providing products with ingredients that are the best on the market and in the process also helping the communities that they are coming from. What else can one ask for!?

    This is the way real 'globalism' should be working! Benefiting all sides - not just the few.

    Best Cacao Butter

    I've used several cacao butters and Baraka's is the best quality with a lovely chocolate scent. It's enhancing the scent of my rose scented and nag champa scented massage lotion bars. I am so happy to have Baraka as a supplier for my new business!
