What is Bilona Ghee? – An Ancient Ayurvedic Process

 

In a society where fast food and factory-made products dominate, Bilona Ghee offers an antidote to the lies of purity. Bilona Ghee is based on a process established in Ayurveda and has been making clarified butter from curd instead of cream for centuries—and this distinction makes all the difference.

Bilona churned ghee is produced by a traditional hand-churning method that retains the quality and absorption of medicinal and digestive properties of milk. In contrast, mass-produced ghee uses industrial production extraction from cream. Bilona process ghee is derived from cultured curd that is slow-cooked, resulting in high nutrient bioavailability and enhanced health value for your food.

This method was not just about food. It was about health, longevity, and relationships with nature. Bilona has traditionally been understood in Ayurveda as "Sattvic," or pure-promoting, and holds properties that deeply nourish the body and calm the mind.

 

How is Bilona Ghee Made? – The Step-by-Step Traditional Method

 

Making Bilona A2 Ghee is as much a sacred act as it is a scientific one. The traditional method of production includes 5 steps, each of which ensures that a nutrient-heavy and contaminant-free A2 ghee will be produced.

 

Step 1: Getting your hands on Fresh A2 Milk

 

The process begins with A2 milk from indigenous Indian cows. This includes breeds such as Gir, Kankrej, Sahiwal, or Red Sindhi. These breeds produce milk high in A2 beta-casein. The A2 protein is better digested by humans than A1 beta-casein. A1 beta-casein can lead to digestive issues and inflammatory diseases. A1 milk comes from crossbred cows such as Jersey or HF cows.

 

Step 2: Boiling the A2 Milk

 

The collected A2 milk is boiled on a 'chulha'—a wood or cow dung fire. In this step, we both purify the milk and strengthen the nutrients in it.

 

Step 3: Cooling the Boiled Milk into Curd

 

The boiled milk is cooled. Curd is made from boiled milk by naturally fermenting the milk. This is done by adding a small amount of curd as an inoculant. Fermentation allows for some more bacteria to grow and create a rich microbiome. Thus, the milk takes the form of curd as a probiotic food source.

 

Step 4: Churning the Curd (Bilona Process)

 

This step separates the butter (makhan) and buttermilk through motion. The curd must be churned both ways—clockwise and anticlockwise—with a wooden churner (Bilona). We must use wood and churn the curd slowly to maintain the nutritional integrity and value of the curd.

 

Step 5: Heating the Butter

 

The butter is then cooked at low heat slowly to allow the golden A2 Bilona Ghee to separate from the milk solids. The result is a grainy, odiferous, golden liquid with a strong nutty flavour profile and unlimited benefits to health.

All the steps in the making of the Bilona Cow Ghee honour and are in harmony with nature's cyclical process while maximizing its medicinal benefits. We engaged in this work as a labour of love on behalf of the taste and wisdom of our ancestors.

 

A2 Desi Cow Milk—The Pure Source of Bilona Ghee

 

The essence of Bilona Ghee is its A2 Desi Cow Milk. When it comes to milk, native Indian cow breeds not only produce milk with different chemistry but are also energetically superior according to Ayurvedic science.

 

What is A2 milk?

 

A2 milk is milk that has only A2 beta-casein, while A1 milk from crossbred cows has both A1 and A2 proteins. Research has suggested the following characteristics of A2 milk:

• Easier to digest
• Reducing inflammation
• Heart and brain healthy
• Good for lactose-intolerant people

Why Desi Cows Matter

 

Desi cows are ethically raised, grass-fed, and not injected with synthetic hormones. Their milk has natural benefits with omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and antioxidants.

When you take the milk from Desi cows and use it to create the A2 Bilona Cow Ghee using a traditional process, you obtain a truly therapeutic A2 Desi Ghee, also known as A2 Cultured Ghee, for the health-conscious person or Ayurvedic practitioner.
