Pure Bilona A2 Cow Ghee is a premium type of ghee traditionally made using the Bilona method, which is a hand-churning process. This method retains the nutritional and medicinal properties of the ghee, making it highly valued in Ayurvedic and health-conscious circles. Here's more about it:
What is A2 Cow Ghee?
- A2 Milk Source: Derived exclusively from the milk of indigenous cow breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, or Rathi, which produce A2 beta-casein protein. This protein is believed to be easier to digest and healthier than A1 protein found in milk from other cow breeds.
- Purity: A2 ghee is free from additives, artificial flavors, or any chemical processing.
How is Bilona A2 Cow Ghee Made?
- Milk Collection: Fresh A2 milk is sourced from grass-fed indigenous cows.
- Curd Preparation: The milk is boiled and cooled to make curd using a natural starter.
- Hand-Churning: The curd is hand-churned to separate the butter (makhan) using the traditional Bilona process.
- Heating: The butter is then simmered on a low flame to extract pure golden ghee, leaving behind milk solids.
