1. What is the difference between A1 & A2 ghee?
2. Will your ghee taste the same throughout the year?
Taste & aroma might vary throughout the year. The reason is cows are fed seasonal produce grass which results in a slight variation in taste and flavour.
3. Why A2 Gir Cow Ghee is so expensive?
The Gir Cow only gives 5-6 litres of milk daily compare to Jersey cows which give 15-20 litres of milk daily.
To make 1 litres of ghee around 30 litres of gir cow milk is required.
Also, the process used to make A2 Gir cow ghee is the traditional Bilona method which requires churning with the hand rather than the machine. The cows are also grass-fed and allowed to free graze.
4. Is the ghee made from butter, malai or curd?
The Monks Bouffe A2 Gir cow ghee is made of Bilona Method which involves boiling the milk over firewood. Resting it overnight in earthen pots to make the whole curd. Curd is then hand-churned to get butter. Later the butter is boiled to help water evaporate giving us Ghee.
5. Are the cows grass fed?
The cows are freely allowed to graze on naturally available grass in nearby open fields every day.
6. Is the calf given a share of the milk?
The first right is given to the calf to drink the milk. Once the calf gets its share only then the remaining milk is collected to make ghee.
7. Is it Gluten Free?
Yes. Gir cow Ghee is Gluten Free!
8. How to test the purity of ghee?
Rub a small amount of ghee on the back of your palm. If within a few minutes, the ghee is absorbed quickly and completely by your skin, leaving no greasy residue behind, it is likely to be pure A2 Gir cow ghee. If the ghee takes a longer time to absorb or leaves a greasy film on your skin, it may not be pure or it may have been mixed with other oils or fats.
