  • Bilona ghee is ghee that’s hand-churned from the milk of native South Asian cows. Whereas factory-made ghee sells in India for around 585 rupees per kilogram, bilona ghee can cost up to 1,900 rupees per kilogram - over three times as much. Compared to industrial ghee, it takes much longer to make, but the end product is nuttier and more aromatic. Outside of India, it can sell for over $100 per kilogram.

    I'm from rural south India and we make ghee in similar way as shown here. But only difference is that, here it is common to use moringa leaves , some fenugreek seeds and a bit of rock salt to enhance the flavor and aroma. We filter out the fenugreek seeds and moringa leaves after ghee is done and ready to store.

    1 Ltr of ghee, is going to be used by the whole family for almost a month.
    But alcohol rarely comes up in the category of 'Expensive'.

    Ghee is the oldest food mentioned in the Vedas, the sacred Hindu scriptures, which is about 4000-5000 years old. It's historical use in nourishment and oblations to the Hindu gods has earned it the epithet of a life giver among Hindus, with its continuous use in India( more so in Northern India than Southern India).
    Makhan is the favorite food of lord Krishna, as a child, he is said to have stole it himself, so the former is applied as massage oil and food for the newborn, toddlers to adults alike. It bears special significance due to the historically more pronounced Vegetarian lifestyle of Indians( Lacto-vegetarian, especially in the North and western parts).
    Traditional Hindu medicine and ancient Hindu doctors like Charaka, Sushruta etc speak very highly of Ghee and it's plethora of properties.

    There are two types of butter. The commercial butter we find in the supermarket is made from cream that floats to the top of the milk.
    This is what we refer to as cultured butter. The milk is concentrated by evaporation then it's cultured by making the yogurt then churned to make butter. This butter has an amazing smell and flavor.
    This is how I have made butter and ghee all my life. Take fresh milk and make it into yogurt and then churn it to make butter and then heat it to make ghee.
    What makes it so much better is these cows only eat grass. No corn and soy like the factory cows.

    But here people are saying things like "machines make more sense", or "he is fooling people".
    So to people, a simple scissor being absurdly expensive makes sense, same fruits being expensive makes sense, and even after technological advancements, 'them' working manually makes sense of it is from a country of thier liking like Japan or Korea,
    But Ghee being expensive, is fraud.
    Even though 1 kg ghee needs many litres of milk, without forcing cows like they do in west.

    The price tag is justified for the process and purity of the product made. The Cows are kept happy and its very ethical and you have an amazing product at the same time

      It is actually a saying from "Charvaka" school of philosophy. They state the ultimate aim of life is to enjoy and do whatever pleases us.
      P. S. They also said only to get debt, not about repaying it. 😂

      It's a popular ancient saying of Charvakas (materialistic atheists), they say, "you have to enjoy ghruta (ghee) even if you have to be in debt for it because you only live once, there is no god or afterlife or reincarnation based on karma of previous life"

      This is an actual saying in India, and not a marketing tagline used by him. My mother also tells me about this famous saying.

      That is not true, This ghee is produced by many people, the whey is used in cooking for soups and other dishes so no he is not the ONLY one making this product.

    Bhavesh produces authentic ghee at his farm. I have been purchasing ghee from him since the time when I saw one of his videos where he explained how bilona ghee is made traditionally.

    Proud that these ladies and gentlemen preserve the traditions. I pray that they will remain uncorrupted and untouched by "modernity". I'd walk miles just to taste what they cook in their traditional methods. Good wishes for all of the people there.

    Good to see ghee being made the traditional way. We never bring store made ghee bcoz its process is different, with more unhealthy fats and tastes nothing like this homemade ghee . My mom makes ghee we call it as ' sajuk tup ' its tasty and same as shown in this video its white in color when cooled down and not like the yellow coloured ones store bought ghee.

    West before 2010: Research says Ghee is injurious to health and heart due to its high-fat contents
    West after 2015: Research says Ghee is good for health as it contains good fat which is good for the heart
    I said: don't listen to them
