Sourcing

Organic Mandya A2 Desi Cow Ghee is a expertly prepared, nutrient rich cooking fat made from the milk of indigenous Indian cows that naturally produce A2 protein. Crafted using the Bilona method, this ghee follows a time honoured process where milk is first converted into curd, then churned into butter, and finally slow-heated to produce ghee.

This method ensures that the natural nutrients, aroma, and texture are preserved, resulting in a golden, grainy, and flavourful ghee. Unlike industrially processed ghee, which is made from cream, this Bilona approach enhances digestibility and maintains authenticity.

Widely used in Indian households for generations, A2 desi cow ghee is valued for both its taste and its role in everyday wellness. It can be used in cooking, added to meals, or consumed in small quantities as part of a balanced diet.

  • Not all ghee available in the market is the same. The difference lies in the milk source and the preparation method.Most commercial ghee is made using industrial cream separation, which is faster but often compromises on quality and digestibility. In contrast, A2 desi cow ghee made using the Bilona method offers a more classical and nutrient-rich alternative.Key differences include:
    Made from A2 milk instead of mixed or A1 milk
    Prepared from curd rather than cream
    Easier to digest and lighter on the stomach
    Naturally rich aroma and grainy texture
    Better retention of nutrients
    For those looking for authentic, Organic Mandya desi cow ghee, this traditional approach offers a clear advantage.

The purity of A2 ghee depends on both the source of milk and the method of preparation. Organic Mandya ghee is made from the milk of indigenous cows raised in natural farming conditions, without the use of synthetic hormones or chemicals.

The Bilona method used in preparation ensures that the ghee is made from curd rather than cream. This expertly process helps retain nutrients and enhances the overall quality of the product.

What ensures its purity:

  • Sourced from indigenous A2 desi cows
  • Made using the traditional Bilona process
  • No additives, preservatives, or chemicals
  • Naturally aromatic and grainy in texture

What is the Bilona Method?

The Bilona method is a classic process used in Indian households to prepare natural desi ghee. Unlike modern industrial techniques that use cream, this method begins with whole milk, which is first boiled and then set into curd using a natural culture.

The curd is then slowly churned using a wooden churner (bilona) to separate butter. This butter is gently heated over a low flame to produce ghee. The process is time-consuming and done in small batches, but it helps retain the natural nutrients, aroma, and texture of the ghee.

Key characteristics of the Bilona method:

  • Made from curd, not cream
  • Slow churning using classic indian techniques
  • Gentle heating to preserve nutrients
  • Produces ghee with natural aroma and grainy texture
  • Enhances digestibility and overall quality

This bilona approach ensures that the ghee remains closer to its natural form, offering better taste, purity, and nutritional value compared to commercially processed alternatives.

FAQ

What is A2 Bilona ghee?
A2 ghee is ghee made from the milk of native Indian cow breeds, whose milk carries only the A2 beta-casein protein variant. Ours comes from Hallikar cows that graze freely near Kabini and Nagarahole.
What is the Bilona method?
In the Bilona method, milk is first set into curd, the curd is hand-churned to draw out butter, and that butter is slowly simmered into ghee. It is slower than the modern cream-separation method and yields less ghee per litre of milk, which is why bilona ghee is more expensive - and why it has its grainy texture and deep aroma.
Is A2 ghee suitable if I am lactose intolerant?
Ghee is made by removing the milk solids, so it is naturally very low in lactose and casein, and many people who are sensitive to regular dairy find it suits them. If you are severely lactose-intolerant or allergic to milk, check with your doctor first.
Can I cook and deep fry with ghee?
Yes. Ghee has a high smoke point of around 250 C, which makes it stable for tempering, sauteing, roasting and frying.
Does ghee need to be refrigerated?
No. Store it in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place and always use a clean,dry spoon. Refrigeration is unnecessary and will simply harden it.
Why has my ghee turned grainy or solid?
Both are normal. Pure ghee changes texture with temperature - it turns solid and grainy when cool, and liquid and golden when warm. Graininess is often a sign of traditionally made ghee, not a fault.
How long does the ghee stay fresh?
12 months from the date of packaging when stored correctly. Keep moisture out and it will keep well.
Is A2 ghee good for weight loss or a keto diet?
Ghee is pure fat and calorie-dense, which suits ketogenic and low-carb diets. For weight management, portion size is what matters - one to two teaspoons a day. Ghee is a food, not a weight-loss treatment.
How should I store A2 ghee and how long does it last?
Ghee does not need refrigeration. Keep it in an airtight jar away from direct sunlight and always use a clean, dry spoon, and it stays good for several months. Refrigerating it is fine too and will not spoil it.
