The Bilona Method – A Traditional Art
Made with Gobind Ghee
The word “Bilona” comes from the Sanskrit word bilon, which means to churn. This ghee is made using the two-step traditional method:
- First, milk from A2 cows is boiled and cooled.
- A spoon of curd is added to ferment it overnight, turning it into yogurt (dahi).
- The curd is then hand-churned using a wooden bilona to extract makhan (butter)
- The butter is slow-cooked on a low flame, releasing the aromatic golden ghee.
This slow and careful process preserves the nutrients, enzymes, and medicinal value — unlike commercial ghee which is made from cream and cooked at high temperatures.
🌱 Why Bilona Ghee is Better Than Regular Ghee

| Hand-churned, slow-cooked | Machine-processed, high heat |
| Retains enzymes and probiotics | Most nutrients destroyed |
| Small-batch, handcrafted | Mass-produced, factory-made |
| No chemicals or preservatives | May contain additives |
| Rooted in Ayurveda | Designed for shelf life |
