You may or may not know this but Anveshan Gir Cow ghee is a cultural and nutritional treasure in Indian households.

Prepared through the traditional and time-tested bilona churning method, this desi ghee is what every Indian kitchen deserves, for its purity, aroma, flavour and nutrition. 

But first, you need to know your ghee. Find out how it is made, why is it different from your regular commercial ghee, and more, from this blog. 

 

Let’s Begin With The Basics. 

How Is Anveshan Gir Cow Ghee Made?

  1. Fresh A2 Milk

It all begins in the farms of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, where the milk from our Gir and Desi cows is hand-milked and chilled to 4°C within 2 hours. Every batch of milk is tested for purity, fat levels, acidity, and adulteration.

  1. Pasteurization
    The milk is heated to 84°C for safety and then cooled at a controlled temperature to preserve taste and texture.

  2. Curd Setting
    Our in-house lactic cultures are added to form curd. This process is given up to a day to develop rich flavour and nutrition.

  3. Bilona Churning
    The curd is churned into makkhan or butter using the bilona method. This becomes the base of our ghee.

  4. Slow Cooking
    The butter is gently simmered until pure golden ghee forms, releasing its natural aroma and flavour.

  5. Perfect Grain
    The ghee is clarified and stored at 22°C with controlled humidity. This creates the signature daana or grainy texture.
