About Gir-Cow
An authentic ‘Gir-cow’ is the one that dwells only within the Gir territory. The Indian A2 Gir-cow is a ‘Vedic Cow’, which is bigger in size, requires high-maintenance, and produces 50% less milk, but the milk has extremely low fat (only 3 to 4 gm fat per 100 gm milk). It has a highly active ‘suryanadi’ (one of the three main channels of energy), which is located in its hump. Through its ‘suryanadi’, it absorbs solar energy, which produces gold salts in her blood, which is also present in her milk. The ‘suryanadi’ is not found in ‘Non-Vedic Cows’.
Production Method / How we make it
- We use Gir-cow’s A2 milk and natural curd to make the ghee.
- It is made per the traditional Vedic Bilona method.
The Bilona process is described in the Vedic scriptures, which is based on 5 ‘sanskars’ (steps).
Sanskar 1: Boiling
This process removes the impurities the fresh and raw milk may have.
Sanskar 2: Curdling
A spoonful of existing curd is added to the lukewarm milk. After it sets, it is left in a cool place to settle.
Sanskar 3: Churning
This is the actual Bilona stage since in this step the curd formed by the previous step is churned with a wooden churner, which is called Bilona. The churning is done in two motions – clockwise and anti-clockwise – for about 30 to 45 minutes. This process separates the curd into butter (makhan) and buttermilk.
Sanskar 4: Separating
The butter is then taken out to make ghee. And the buttermilk (chhas) is taken for use as a tasty drink, and it can also be used in other different ways.
Sanskar 5: Heating
This is the final step, when the butter is put on a low flame to boil until the water evaporates. The butter then becomes clear and a layer of solids is formed at the bottom of the vessel, and the ghee is ready.
- The ghee is made in small batches.
- It is made in our own gaushala.
