Fermentation.
Yup. It takes a nice, slow, controlled fermentation to bring out the best flavor and properties of a natural product. That goes for both Cocao Butter and raw sauerkraut. Man steps in, notices a natural process and then uses that fermentation to enhance an otherwise bland or impotent ingredient. He coaxes and nurtures those microbiotic lifeforms to turn okay stuff into the sublime.
Sauerkraut on a hot plate of buttered potatoes? Cocoa Butter lathered on a beautifully tanned body? Some say there’s even romance found in both. Those are the moments we look forward to at the end of a hard working day.
