In a world full of shortcuts and synthetic foods, going back to our roots offers the purest form of nourishment. At Gavyamart, we are committed to reviving ancient Indian food wisdom through 100% organic, traditional products — and ghee is at the heart of this tradition.
With many types of ghee available today, two commonly discussed types are cultured ghee and bilona ghee. While both begin with curd and are far superior to regular ghee, bilona ghee — especially when made from A2 milk — stands out for its purity, process, and health benefits.
Let’s explore what makes bilona ghee so special and how it differs from cultured ghee.
🌿 What is Cultured Ghee?
Cultured ghee is made by first fermenting milk into curd. This curd is then churned to separate the butter, which is heated slowly to make ghee. This process introduces live cultures and makes the ghee easier to digest.
✅ Benefits of Cultured Ghee:
Supports gut health and digestion.
Easier to digest for those with lactose or casein intolerance.
Rich in butyrate and other healthy fats.
Mildly tangy and rich in flavor.
While cultured ghee is a healthier choice than regular ghee made from cream, it does not always follow traditional practices or use A2 milk.
🐄 What is Bilona Ghee?
At Gavyamart, our Bilona Ghee is made exclusively from A2 milk of grass-fed, Indian desi cows. This ghee is produced using the ancient Vedic bilona method, which involves:
Boiling A2 milk to remove impurities.
Naturally culturing the milk into curd.
Hand-churning the curd (not cream) using a wooden churner (bilona).
Heating the extracted butter on a low flame to make nutrient-rich ghee.
🌟 Why A2 Milk Matters:
A2 milk, unlike regular A1 milk, contains the A2 beta-casein protein which is easier to digest and less inflammatory. It is closer to human milk in structure, making it highly suitable for children, the elderly, and those with sensitive digestion.
