🥛 Step 1 – Collecting A2 Raw Milk from Indigenous Cows

The journey begins with desi Indian cows like Gir or Sahiwal. These cows naturally produce A2 beta-casein milk, known for its health benefits and digestibility. We milk the cows early in the morning, ensuring they are fed with organic fodder and are not injected with any hormones or antibiotics.

Hygiene, compassion, and care are at the heart of this step — because purity starts at the source.

🧊 Step 2 – Natural Curd Formation

Once collected, the raw milk is gently boiled and cooled, then set aside with a traditional curd culture (called “jaaman”) to form natural dahi (curd) overnight.

Unlike commercial ghee, where cream is extracted from milk, Bilona ghee is made only from curd, making it lighter, easier to digest, and richer in probiotics.

📌 This step preserves natural enzymes that support gut health.

🔄 Step 3 – Bilona Churning Process

The next morning, we churn the curd using a wooden bilona (churner) in a clockwise and anti-clockwise motion. This traditional technique separates makhan (butter) from the buttermilk.

⚙️ The wooden churn is essential. It retains the curd’s cooling energy and doesn’t generate heat like metal machines.

🔥 Step 4 – Slow Heating to Make Ghee

The freshly extracted butter is then slow-heated over a cow dung or wooden fire. This step is patiently done at low flame to ensure all water content evaporates, and only the nutrient-rich golden ghee remains.

You’ll notice the aroma, grainy texture, and deep yellow color — proof that the ghee is authentic and chemical-free.

🔥 We never rush this process — it’s what gives A2 ghee its medicinal value.

🫙 Step 5 – Filtering & Hand-Filling into Jars

Once the ghee is ready, it’s filtered using fine muslin cloth to remove any residue. It’s then hand-poured into sterilized glass jars, cooled naturally, and stored safely — without preservatives, additives, or chemical treatment.
