A2 Bilona Gir Cow Ghee
Somu Halwai A2 Bilona Gir Cow Ghee is prepared using a traditional curd-based Bilona process. Milk from indigenous Gir cows is converted into curd, the curd is traditionally churned to separate butter, and the butter is slowly cooked to prepare ghee.
The traditional preparation gives the finished ghee its characteristic rich aroma, golden appearance and naturally granular texture. Texture and consistency can naturally change with temperature and storage conditions.
Traditional Bilona Method
Bilona is a traditional Indian ghee-making approach in which milk is first converted into curd before the butter is separated through churning. The separated butter is then clarified to produce ghee.
- Milk source: Prepared using milk from indigenous Gir cows according to Somu Halwai's stated sourcing process.
- Curd-based preparation: Milk is converted into curd before butter separation.
- Traditional churning: The curd is traditionally churned to separate butter.
- Slow cooking: The separated butter is slowly cooked to develop the characteristic aroma and flavour of ghee.
- Finished product: The ghee is filtered and packed for consumption.
What Makes Bilona Ghee Different?
The defining difference is the preparation process. Instead of directly separating cream from milk, the Bilona approach begins with curd and uses traditional churning to obtain butter before clarification.
For Somu Halwai, this traditional process is part of the product's identity: a familiar Indian method presented in convenient pack sizes for modern kitchens.
Rich Aroma, Golden Colour & Natural Texture
A2 Bilona Gir Cow Ghee can have a rich aroma, golden colour and naturally granular texture. These sensory characteristics can vary naturally depending on temperature, storage conditions and the product itself.
Ghee may become firmer in cooler conditions and softer or more fluid in warmer conditions. Natural texture variation should not by itself be treated as a laboratory test of purity.
