By the Faimly Farm Team · Our process, from farm to jar
People often ask how our ghee is made. The short answer: slowly, traditionally, and in small batches. The longer answer is a journey that begins with indigenous cows and ends with a sealed glass jar of golden A2 ghee. Here is that journey, step by step.
1. It Starts with Indigenous A2 Cows
Everything begins with the milk. We use milk from indigenous Indian cow breeds, whose milk is the source of A2 ghee. The quality of the milk sets the ceiling for the quality of the ghee — so this first step matters most.
2. Setting the Milk into Curd
Rather than separating cream, we follow the traditional bilona path: the whole milk is cultured and set into curd (dahi). This fermentation step is what defines bilona-style ghee and lays the foundation for its aroma.
3. Churning Curd into Butter
The set curd is churned to separate butter (makkhan) from buttermilk. This curd-churned butter — not directly separated cream — is what we cook into ghee.
4. Slow-Cooking into Ghee
The butter is then slow-cooked over gentle heat. As the moisture evaporates and the milk solids gradually turn golden, the kitchen fills with the characteristic nutty aroma. This slow, watchful cooking is where butter becomes ghee — and rushing it would cost the flavour.
5. Small Batches, Lab-Tested
We make our ghee in small batches rather than industrial volumes, which lets us keep a close eye on every stage. Our ghee is lab-tested for purity and made under our FSSAI licence — tradition backed by checks.
6. Sealed in Glass
Finally, the ghee is filled and sealed — we favour glass for storing ghee, as it does not interact with the contents and helps preserve aroma and freshness. From there it travels to your kitchen.
Why We Do It This Way
The bilona method is slower and more labour-intensive than commercial production. We choose it because it is the traditional way and because we believe it gives a richer, more authentic ghee — the kind Indian kitchens have valued for generations. It is a deliberate choice to favour craft over speed.

It is the traditional, curd-churned approach associated with richer aroma and texture, and we choose it for authenticity even though it is slower and more labour-intensive.
Is the ghee lab-tested?
Yes. We make ghee in small batches and lab-test for purity, under our FSSAI licence.

Conclusion
From indigenous cows to a sealed glass jar, our ghee passes through curd, churn, and slow fire — the traditional bilona journey. It is a slower way to make ghee, and that is exactly the point: it is how the aroma, grain, and character of genuine A2 ghee are built.
