Bilona Ghee — A Legacy Reborn
Long before factories and machinery, India perfected the art of ghee-making through a method known as Bilona — a slow, sacred process where every step is done meticulously, with intention and care. Mentioned in the Charaka Samhita and Ayurvedic texts over 2,000 years ago, Bilona ghee was regarded not just as food, but as medicine — a carrier of vitality, memory, and longevity.
Our Bilona ghee is made from the A2 milk of native Belahi cows, who graze freely in the Shivalik forests of Uttarakhand. This isn’t industrial ghee churned out in vats — it’s a tribute to purity, ritual, and the nourishing power of tradition.
The Ancient Bilona Process: Why It Matters
Unlike commercial ghee, which is typically made by heating cream or processed butter, Bilona ghee is created using a multi-step traditional method:
- Curd is set from fresh, whole A2 milk (not cream).
- The curd is churned (Bilona) to extract makkhan (butter).
- The makkhan is slow-cooked over low flame to produce golden ghee.
This slow transformation preserves:
- Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K),
- Naturally occurring butyric acid (great for gut health),
- Omega-3 and CLA (anti-inflammatory fatty acids),
- And the unmistakable aroma of forest-fed desi cow milk.
Why A2 Bilona Ghee is Far Superior to Factory-Made Ghee

| Method | mechanically (in slow and specialized to & fro human-like motions) churned curd, slow-cooked | Cream boiled directly, high heat |
| Nutrition | Rich in CLA, butyric acid, vitamins | Many nutrients lost during processing |
| Digestibility | Easy on gut, supports metabolism | Can cause bloating or heaviness |
| Ethics | Ethical milking, cruelty-free | Often from stressed, confined cattle |
