We buy Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil from the Candela co-operative in Peru. Trade has helped to protect 3,000 hectares of rainforest in the Madre de Dios region. The sustainable harvesting of Brazil nuts helps to support indigenous species that depend on the Brazil nut tree, such as the orchid bee. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.
