is obtained from the seeds of the cupuacu tree. The butter is similar to cocoa and shea butter, but much finer and has a higher content of long-chained, saturated arachidic acid. The cupuacu tree is spread in the Amazon region and can reach a height of 18 meters. Already after 2 - 3 years it bears up to 1.5 kg heavy fruits, which contain 20 - 50 seeds.
