Bilona Method Ghee | Traditional Way of Making A2 Ghee

In a world where food is mass-produced, one question remains: Are we still connected to the way our ancestors nourished themselves? When it comes to ghee, the answer lies in the Bilona method — an ancient Indian technique that transforms milk into golden elixir. Unlike modern shortcuts, Bilona keeps the soul of ghee alive.

At Ghrita, we follow this time-honored process to ensure every drop of our A2 Gir Cow Ghee carries the same purity as it did centuries ago.

🥣 What is the Bilona Method?

A2 Gir Cow Ghee is made from the milk of pure-bred Gir cows, a native Indian breed known for their resilience, distinct hump, and rich A2 beta-casein protein. Unlike common A1 milk (found in hybrid or Jersey cows), A2 milk is easier to digest and linked to multiple health benefits.

When churned into ghee using the Bilona method (hand-churning curd into butter, then slow-heating), it results in a golden, nutrient-dense ghee that’s truly pure

💛 Why is A2 Gir Cow Ghee Considered Pure?

The Bilona method is a two-step traditional process:

1. Curd Preparation → Fresh Gir cow milk is set into curd using natural culture.

2. Hand Churning → The curd is churned with a wooden bilona (churning stick) to separate butter. The butter is then slow-heated on fire to produce pure ghee.

This slow, mindful process preserves not only taste but also the nutritional integrity of A2 milk.

🌿 Why the Bilona Method Matters for Health

• Nutrient-Rich – Retains vitamins A, D, E, K and healthy fats.

• Digestive-Friendly – Easier on the gut compared to machine-processed ghee.

• Natural Aroma & Taste – Brings out the golden grainy texture and nutty fragrance.

• Free of Preservatives – Purely handcrafted, no chemicals or additives.
  
  

This is why Ghrita A2 Ghee isn’t just food — it’s a wellness ritual rooted in authenticity.

🧘 The Ayurvedic Connection

In Ayurveda, Bilona ghee is considered satvik — a food that calms the mind, strengthens immunity, and balances doshas. It’s also used in therapies like Nasya (ghee drops in the nose) and Panchakarma detox treatments.
