Traditional Method of Making A2 Cow Ghee

In the rich tapestry of Indian culinary traditions, few ingredients hold a place as revered as ghee. This golden elixir, cherished for its flavor and health benefits, finds its roots deeply embedded in our culture. But not all ghee is created equal. In recent years, there's been a renewed focus on the traditional methods of making ghee, especially the A2 cow ghee. At SwadeshiVIP, we take pride in bringing you the finest A2 cow ghee made through the authentic bilona process. Here’s a dive into the time-honored method that preserves the essence of this ancient practice.

The Art of Making A2 Cow Ghee

1. The Foundation: Boiling Raw A2 Milk

The journey to making ghee begins with the milk itself. At SwadeshiVIP, we source our A2 Gir cow milk from grass-fed cows. This type of milk is known for its richer nutritional profile and purity. The first step in the traditional method is to boil this milk. Boiling is crucial as it ensures the milk is free from bacteria and contaminants, setting the stage for a wholesome product. The use of grass-fed cow’s milk is not just a tradition but a testament to quality and authenticity.

2. Curd Formation: Setting Up the Curds

Once the milk is boiled and cooled, a small spoonful of curd is added to it. This mixture is left to ferment overnight in a warm place. The curd that forms is a vital part of the ghee-making process. At SwadeshiVIP, we ensure that this fermentation happens in the most natural conditions, allowing the curd to develop its unique properties.

3. Churning the Curd: The Bilona Process

The next step is churning the curd to extract butter, a process traditionally done with a wooden churner known as ‘bilona’. This method of hand-churning is not just about separating butter from curd; it's about preserving the essence and the beneficial properties of the ghee. The bilona churner helps in achieving a texture and consistency that modern machines often fail to replicate. Adding chilled water during churning helps in separating the butter more efficiently from the buttermilk.

4. Separating the Fat: Butter from Buttermilk

After churning, the curd yields butter, which is known as 'loni' or 'makkhan'. The remaining buttermilk is a delightful drink that can be consumed in various ways. The butter is then carefully separated from the buttermilk, ensuring that only the purest fat is used for making ghee.

5. Heating the Butter: Crafting the Ghee

The final stage involves heating the butter on a medium-high flame. This process allows all the water content to evaporate, leaving behind pure ghee. As the butter heats up, it turns golden and clear, with milk solids forming at the bottom. The careful monitoring of this stage ensures that the ghee achieves the perfect flavor and aroma.

The Benefits of A2 Bilona Ghee
