Traditional method Ghee vs Commercial Ghee

Retains Nutrients and Active Compounds
The slow and gentle process of the Bilona method ensures that the ghee retains its rich array of nutrients, including healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants.

 

The commercial production of ghee, however, typically involves higher temperatures, which can destroy many of these sensitive nutrients.

 

Better Digestibility
Ghee made with the Bilona method is known to be easier on the digestive system. The process of churning curd to make ghee helps to ferment the milk, turning it into a product that is naturally more digestible.

Commercial ghee can sometimes lack these probiotic benefits because it’s not made with fermented curd and may undergo processing that reduces the gut-friendly compounds.

No Added Preservatives or Chemicals
Traditional Bilona ghee is free from preservatives, colorants, or artificial flavor enhancers, making it a pure and wholesome product.

 

Commercial ghee often contains additives to extend shelf life and improve appearance, but these can be harmful in the long run. With Bilona ghee, you’re guaranteed an authentic product that doesn’t compromise on purity.

Preserves Traditional Practices and Sustainability
The Bilona method promotes sustainable farming and the preservation of traditional dairying practices. We together are supporting small-scale farmers and artisanal production methods that are kind to both the environment and the cows.

 

The mass-production techniques used by commercial ghee manufacturers can sometimes lead to unsustainable practices, such as factory farming and environmental degradation.

 

Enhanced Flavor and Aroma
There’s no denying that ghee made with the Bilona method has a deeper, richer flavor and aroma. The slow cooking process enhances the natural taste of the milk, giving Bilona ghee a distinct, nutty flavor that is hard to replicate in commercial varieties. This makes it not only a better choice for your health but also for your culinary experience.

 

Promotes Better Skin and Hair Health
In today's world of pollution and packaged food where everything is against our skin, traditional Bilona ghee is believed to be nourishing for the skin and hair.  Due to its high content of fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin A, D, E, and K, Bilona ghee is known to promote glowing skin and strengthen hair. The vitamins are absorbed better in their natural form, unlike in commercial ghee, where the delicate nutrients might be lost due to high-heat processing.
