The Ultimate Guide to Ghee: Why Bilona Ghee from Desi Cow A2 Milk is Worth Every Drop
π₯ Ghee β A Superfood You Might Be Underrating
Ghee is no ordinary fat. Rooted deeply in Ayurveda and Indian kitchens, itβs now gaining cult status across the world for being a gut-loving, immunity-boosting, and energy-enhancing fat. Itβs not just cooking oil β itβs liquid gold.
β
High smoke point for Indian cooking
β
Improves digestion & nutrient absorption
β
Supports hormone balance and immunity
Nothing completes a meal like a spoonful of real ghee
But not all ghee is created equal.
The two big differentiators?
π The source of the milk
π The method used to make it
Letβs break it down.
π What Kind of Ghee Are You Really Buying?
1. Commercial Ghee β The Fast Food of Fats
Made from industrial butter, milk solids, vegetable oils, and even artificial ghee essences.
π« Cheap, yes β but at what cost?
2. Cream-Separated Ghee β The Shortcut
Process: Milk β Machine-separated cream β Butter β Ghee
Why itβs popular:
β Faster
β Higher yield
β More profitable (they sell the leftover milk too)
But itβs less nutritious and lacks the sattvic, Ayurvedic properties of traditional ghee.
3. Bilona Ghee β The Ancient, Artisanal Method
This is where tradition and nourishment meet.
Process:
β Whole milk set into curd
β Curd hand-churned to extract cultured butter
β Butter gently simmered into ghee
π₯ Low yield, high labour β but packed with flavour, nutrients, and gut-friendly enzymes.
