About Bilona Ghee
What is Bilona Ghee?
Bilona Ghee is traditional clarified butter made using the ancient Bilona method. It’s crafted from A2 milk of indigenous Indian cows like Gir and Sahiwal. The process involves hand-churning curd to extract butter, which is then slow-cooked to produce golden, nutrient-rich ghee with a distinctive grainy texture and nutty aroma.
How is Bilona Ghee different from regular ghee?
The key differences lie in the source milk, process, and nutritional profile:
- Source: Made from A2 milk vs. A1 milk in regular ghee
- Process: Hand-churned using wooden bilona vs. machine processing
- Texture: Naturally grainy vs. smooth
- Nutrition: Higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, K
- Digestibility: Easier to digest due to A2 protein structure
Is Bilona Ghee healthier than regular ghee?
Yes, Bilona Ghee offers superior health benefits:
- Rich in beneficial fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins
- Contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with anti-inflammatory properties
- Better digestibility due to A2 protein structure
- Higher antioxidant content from grass-fed cows
- Supports immunity, bone health, and brain function
How much ghee will 1L of milk produce?
Approximately 1 liter of A2 milk yields about 40-50 grams of Bilona Ghee, depending on the milk’s fat content and the cow’s breed. This low yield explains why authentic Bilona Ghee is more expensive than regular ghee.

Does Bilona Ghee contain lactose?
Bilona Ghee contains minimal lactose (less than 0.5%) because the clarification process removes most milk proteins and sugars. Most lactose-intolerant individuals can consume it safely. However, if you have severe lactose intolerance, consult your healthcare provider before consumption.
Is Bilona Ghee suitable for babies?
