Section 1: Understanding Desi Cow Bilona Ghee
Q.1: What is Desi Cow Bilona Ghee?
A: Desi Cow Bilona Ghee is made from the milk of indigenous Indian cows using the traditional Bilona method. At Mr. Milk, we follow a curd-to-butter-to-ghee process that involves setting milk into curd, churning the curd to obtain butter, and heating the butter to prepare ghee.
We value this traditional method for the distinctive aroma, rich flavour, and characteristic texture it can bring to the finished product.
Our Desi Cow Bilona Ghee is a wonderful addition to everyday Indian meals, whether you're preparing dal, khichdi, rotis, parathas, or traditional sweets.
Q.2: What is the difference between Desi Cow Ghee and Bilona Ghee?
A: The difference lies in what the terms describe. Desi Cow Ghee refers to the source of the milk, while Bilona Ghee refers to the method used to prepare it.
At Mr. Milk, we bring these two together by sourcing milk from indigenous Gir and Sahiwal cows and following the traditional Bilona process to make our ghee.
When you choose Desi Cow Bilona Ghee, you're looking for both a particular milk source and a traditional preparation method.
Q.3: How is Bilona Ghee different from regular ghee?
A: The main difference is the preparation process.
Traditional Bilona Ghee is made by first converting milk into curd, churning the curd to obtain butter, and then heating the butter to separate the ghee. Other ghee-making methods may begin with cream or malai instead.
At Mr. Milk, we follow the traditional curd-churning approach because it is an important part of how we make our Desi Cow Bilona Ghee. The preparation method, milk source, and handling can all influence a product's flavour, aroma, and texture.
When choosing ghee, we encourage you to look at the ingredients, sourcing, and preparation method so you can make a choice that suits your preferences.
Q.4: What is the traditional Bilona method of making ghee?
A: The Bilona method follows three main stages: milk to curd, curd to butter, and butter to ghee.
First, the milk is heated and cooled to a suitable temperature before being cultured into curd. The curd is then churned to separate the butter. Finally, the butter is heated to remove moisture and separate the milk solids, leaving the ghee.
At Mr. Milk, this traditional process is central to how we prepare our Desi Cow Bilona Ghee. It involves several stages and requires time and care at each step.
Q.5: What is Gir Cow Ghee?
A: Gir Cow Ghee is made from milk sourced from Gir cows, an indigenous Indian cattle breed known for its distinctive characteristics.
At Mr. Milk, we source milk from indigenous Gir and Sahiwal cows at our farm near Lonavala. We use this milk to prepare our Desi Cow Ghee using the traditional Bilona method.
When choosing Gir Cow Ghee, we recommend looking at the stated milk source, ingredients, preparation method, and quality information to understand the product you're bringing home
