Ancient bilona method passed down through generations
Select A2 Cow Milk
Morning - 5:00 AM
Premium Quality A2 Milk Selection
We start with the finest A2 cow milk from indigenous desi breeds. A2 milk contains only A2 beta-casein protein, which is easier to digest and more nutritious than regular A1 milk. This forms the foundation of our superior quality ghee.
- Sourced from indigenous desi cow breeds (Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi)
- Full-cream milk with high fat content for rich ghee
- 100% pure with no adulteration or mixing
Boil the Milk
6:00 AM - 7:00 AM
Gentle Heating Process
Fresh A2 milk is gently boiled to concentrate it and enhance the flavor. This step also ensures complete sterilization while preserving the natural nutrients. The milk is carefully monitored to prevent burning and maintain its natural goodness.
- Slow heating in traditional vessels for even temperature
- Constant stirring to prevent burning and preserve nutrients
- Cooled to lukewarm temperature for next step
Culture & Ferment
7:00 AM - Next Day 7:00 AM
Converting Milk to Dahi
Once cooled to the right temperature, we add fresh culture to convert the milk into curd (dahi). This overnight fermentation is crucial for developing the authentic flavor and makes the ghee easier to digest. The natural bacteria work their magic during this time.
Fermentation Details:
Duration: 24 hours for complete fermentation
Temperature: Maintained at 35-40°C for optimal culture growth
Result: Thick, tangy curd perfect for ghee making
- Natural fermentation develops authentic desi ghee flavor
- Creates beneficial probiotics that enhance ghee quality
Bilona Churning
Next Day 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Traditional Hand-Churning Method
This is the heart of the traditional bilona method! The fermented curd is churned using a wooden bilona (traditional churner) in a clockwise and anti-clockwise motion. This ancient technique separates butter from buttermilk naturally, without using any machines or heat.
The Bilona Magic:
- Manual Churning: Done by hand or using traditional wooden equipment
- Bi-Directional: Alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise motion
- Cold Process: No heat applied, preserving all nutrients
- Duration: 2-3 hours of patient churning
✓ This method retains all vitamins, minerals, and natural aroma unlike machine-made ghee
Collect White Butter
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Separating Butter from Buttermilk
After churning, beautiful white butter (makhan) floats to the top. We carefully collect this pure butter by hand, separating it from the nutritious buttermilk (chaach). The butter collected through bilona method is superior in quality and packed with fat-soluble vitamins.
- Hand-collected white butter with natural aroma
- Nutritious buttermilk saved for separate consumption
- Butter washed multiple times in pure water to remove impurities
Slow Cook Butter
11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Converting Butter to Golden Ghee
The collected butter is slowly heated on low flame in a heavy-bottomed vessel. This gentle heating process removes all water content and milk solids, leaving behind pure golden ghee. The slow cooking is the secret to achieving the authentic danedar (granular) texture.
Cooking Process:
- Milk solids settle at bottom, creating natural nutty aroma
- Butter transforms into clear golden ghee
Filter & Granulate
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Creating Danedar Texture
The hot ghee is filtered through muslin cloth to remove all milk solids and impurities. Then comes the magic - the ghee is allowed to cool naturally at room temperature. As it cools, it forms beautiful granules (daane), giving it the characteristic danedar texture that's a hallmark of pure bilona ghee.
What Makes It Danedar?
- ✨ Slow, natural cooling process creates crystalline granules
- ✨ Traditional bilona method preserves saturated fats that form granules
- ✨ No artificial cooling or refrigeration - nature does the work
- ✨ Granular texture is proof of purity and traditional preparation
Note: Danedar ghee is the signature of authentic bilona ghee. The granules indicate high saturated fat content and traditional preparation method. Machine-made ghee never has this texture!
Pack & Deliver
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about danedar ghee
What does "danedar" mean?
Danedar means "granular" in Hindi. It refers to the crystalline granules that form naturally when ghee made by traditional bilona method cools. This texture is the hallmark of pure, authentic ghee.
Why is A2 ghee better?
A2 milk contains only A2 beta-casein protein, which is easier to digest and doesn't cause the digestive issues associated with A1 protein. A2 ghee is more nutritious and closer to what our ancestors consumed.

When stored properly in an airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight, our desi ghee lasts 12 months or more. No refrigeration needed! In fact, ghee improves with age.
Can lactose-intolerant people consume it?
Yes! During the ghee-making process, all milk solids (including lactose and casein) are removed. Pure ghee contains virtually no lactose, making it safe for most lactose-intolerant individuals.
How much should I consume daily?
Ayurveda recommends 1-2 teaspoons (5-10ml) per day for adults. This provides essential nutrients without excessive calories. Consult your doctor if you have specific health conditions.
Is the color always the same?
