Origin of Murumuru Butter
Murumuru Tree
The Murumuru tree (Astrocaryum murumuru) is a tall, spiny palm native to the Amazon Rainforest and the Amazon Basin. Growing up to 20 meters, it produces spiky, round fruit containing seeds used to make Murumuru Butter.
The butter is obtained by the hydraulic cold pressing of the seeds of the fruits of the murumuru palm, which then undergoes subsequent refining, bleaching and deodorization.
Cultivation & Yield
Murumuru trees yield large pods annually, each holding up to 30 seeds. Local farmers sustainably harvest and cold-press these seeds into nutrient-rich Murumuru Butter, supporting biodiversity and providing income for Amazon communities.
