What is the Bilona Method? The Only Way to Make Real Ghee

Not all ghee is created equal. Most ghee found in supermarkets is made by simply heating malai (cream) separated from milk by machines. This process is fast, cheap, but it strips the ghee of its medicinal properties and authentic aroma.

The Vedic Process

The Bilona Method is the traditional way of making ghee mentioned in our Vedas.

• Step 1: Boil raw A2 milk in earthen pots.
• Step 2: Convert milk to curd (Dahi) overnight.
• Step 3: Churn the curd with a wooden Bilona to extract Makhan (butter).
• Step 4: Heat the Makhan on a slow flame to get golden Ghee.

This labour-intensive process ensures that the ghee retains all nutrients and has a granular texture (Danedar) that machine-made ghee lacks.
