Haldiva Pure Bilona Ghee – Traditional Gir Cow Ghee

Traditional Bilona Ghee made from Gir cow milk

Haldiva Pure Bilona Ghee is traditionally prepared from the milk of indigenous Gir cows using the Bilona method. The process involves culturing milk into curd, traditionally churning the curd to separate white butter, and slowly heating the butter until it becomes ghee.

The finished ghee has a naturally rich aroma, golden colour, and characteristic grainy texture. It is made without added preservatives or artificial colours and is intended for everyday Indian cooking and traditional recipes.

What Makes Pure Bilona Ghee Different?

The term Bilona refers to a traditional preparation process in which milk is first converted into curd, the curd is churned to obtain butter, and the butter is then heated to make ghee.

This process is different from methods that begin directly with cream or milk fat.

For customers specifically looking for Gir cow ghee, Bilona ghee, traditional desi ghee, or traditionally prepared cow ghee, Haldiva offers a product based on this traditional method.
