GHRAAM • Traditional Bilona
GHRAAM A2 Gir Cow Ghee is prepared from desi Gir cow milk using the traditional Bilona method. In this method, milk is cultured into curd, the curd is churned to obtain makkhan, and the butter is heated to make ghee.
Gir identifies the cow breed associated with the milk source; Bilona describes the preparation method. They refer to different parts of the product story.

THE ART OF TRADITION
At GHRAAM, we honour the traditional Bilona method of making ghee. The process follows three simple stages.
Milk is cultured into curd, following a traditional first step.
The curd is churned to obtain makkhan (butter).
The butter is slowly heated to prepare ghee.
A time-honoured method, thoughtfully presented for today’s kitchen.
Explore the Bilona methodA natural texture can change with temperature and season.
Traditionally made Bilona ghee may develop a coarse, granular texture as it cools. Texture can vary naturally with temperature and season, so a smooth summer jar and a grainier winter jar can look different. Texture alone, however, is not a reliable test of purity or freshness.

Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always use a clean, dry spoon to keep the ghee in good condition.
