Description
The cupuacu tree is native to the Amazon, most notably to the northern region of Brazil. The tree is similar to the cocoa tree and typically reaches an average height of 10 meters.

The impressive composition of Cupuacu Butter includes Linoleic, Arachidic and Behenic fatty acids.

Uses:
