Watch our founder walk through texture, aroma, and the bilona process
FAQs
What is the bilona method?
Bilona is a traditional process where cultured cream is slow-churned, then gently simmered to separate ghee from milk solids. The patient heat unlocks a warm, nutty aroma and natural “danedaar” (granular) texture.
Is this A2?
This is our 24 Karat Premium Buffalo Bilona Desi Ghee, made from buffalo milk. As labeled, it is A2 buffalo bilona ghee. We are FSSAI registered. We focus on process, aroma, and culinary quality.
How is buffalo bilona ghee different from cow ghee?
Buffalo ghee typically has a fuller mouthfeel and a deeper aroma than cow ghee. In tadkas, rotis/parathas, and mithai, it brings a richer body and lingering finish.
Why is the texture grainy? Is it a sign of purity?
Natural granulation is a hallmark of properly made bilona ghee. Granules vary with temperature—more pronounced and firm in cooler weather, softer in warmer conditions.
Why does the color or firmness change by season?
Temperature affects solidity and hue. Ghee may be firmer and lighter in winter, softer and deeper in summer. This is normal and does not affect quality.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the jar tightly closed and use a clean, dry spoon. Avoid contact with moisture or wet utensils.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
Not necessary. You may refrigerate to firm it up, but always keep moisture out. If it solidifies more than you like, gently warm before use.
What’s the best way to liquefy without overheating?
Place the jar in warm water for a few minutes, or warm the required amount on low heat until just melted. Avoid prolonged high heat.
Can I use it for high-heat cooking?
Ghee is commonly used for tadka/tempering, sautéing, and shallow frying. For deep frying, maintain moderate temperatures and avoid smoking.
Does it contain lactose?
Ghee is clarified butterfat and typically contains only trace milk solids. If you’re highly sensitive to dairy, consult your healthcare professional.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes—ghee is a dairy product and vegetarian.
