Haldiva Pure Bilona Ghee – Traditional Gir Cow Ghee

Traditional Bilona Ghee made from Gir cow milk

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.
