Shea Butter Nilotica is considered the luxury shea butter due to its creamy consistency and soft texture. It is produced from trees that grow in the Eastern parts of Africa, mainly Uganda, southern Soudan and Kenya.

It is not to be confused with its Western African counterpart Vitellaria paradoxa (formerly known as Buttyrospermum parkii) which is found on the dry savannah belt of West and Central Africa. Most shea butters on the market are extracted from the nuts of the paradoxa trees, which produce a butter that is solid at room temperature.

The rarer Nilotica species of East Africa is less available, produced in much smaller quantities. It is also a butter re-known for it creamy, custard like consistency and its lower melting point, its soft and gentle texture and soothing abilities which makes it an oil of choice for sensitive skin types.

As some of you may already be aware from the little snipets in our newsletters, I have a strong interest and passion for animals big and small and can't help but share with our readers their wonderful nature and the work I do with them.

OCTOBER 2024

We had the pleasure to host a very unusual guest. A swan, (he/she, I never quite figured out which it was) walked from the river onto our land one day and settled down at the farm, cleary attracted by the company of our flock and reassured that their home would offer him a safe haven for his short holiday.

I called him Gandalf - not that i am a fan of the Lord of the Rings - but i thought that his majestic gait and poise had some sort of similarity with the world re-known wizard.
