Production Method / How we make it
- We procure Indian cow’s A2 milk from farmers. (This milk has very low fat: 4-5gm fat in 100gm milk.)
- The ghee is made with this milk and natural curd.
- 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.
