What it is

Illipe butter is a fat derived from the nuts of the illipe tree (Shorea spp.), native to Borneo. The nuts are harvested, dried, and then pressed to extract the butter, which is a solid at room temperature.

Why it's used

Illipe butter is used as a substitute for cocoa butter in chocolate and confectionery products, providing a similar texture and mouthfeel. It can also be found in baked goods like cookies and crackers, where it contributes to richness and structure.

Health notes

In the U.S., illipe butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for illipe butter are not widely publicized. There are no significant health controversies or widespread concerns associated with its typical consumption.

Allergen info

Illipe butter is derived from tree nuts. While not one of the nine FDA major allergens, individuals with tree nut allergies should exercise caution.
