Bilona Ghee: What is it?
Bilona Ghee is an A2 Ghee produced using a multi-step artisanal process that retains:

Nutrients

Aroma

Digestive enzymes

Ayurvedic properties

This is a slow, manual, and holistic process.

Step 1: Gathering Raw Gir Cow Milk
We start our day early by manually milking Gir cows — famous for their creamy A2 milk. No machines. No hormones.

Step 2: Boiling the Milk Naturally
The raw milk is boiled on a gentle flame in iron or brass vessels, never hurried. This kills bacteria and bio-activates the nutrients. Slow heat preserves the milk’s A2 protein.

Step 3: Setting Curd in Earthen Vessels
After cooling, we introduce natural culture and let it ferment for 6–8 hours in clay pots.

This thick, probiotic-rich curd — a crucial step for digestive benefits.

Step 4: Hand-Churning with the Bilona Technique
The curd is churned with a wooden churner (bilona) in two directions:

Clockwise

Anti-clockwise

This traditional technique separates makhan (white butter) and buttermilk.

Step 5: Slow-Cooking the Makkhan
We then low-flame-cook the makhan, enabling the ghee to naturally separate.

Foam rises

Residue settles

Clear golden ghee appears

No hurry. Just purity and patience.

Step 6: Filtering and Bottling
The last step is muslin cloth-filtering the ghee and filling it into sterilized glass jars.

Every jar is:

Heat-sealed

Labeled

Ready to deliver health and heritage
