🧈 A2 vs A1 Ghee + How It’s Made: The Truth About Bilona, Hand-Churned & Factory Ghee

❓What is ghee, and why is everyone suddenly asking about A2 and A1?

Because not all ghees are equal.
Some ghee heals you from within. Some is just yellow oil in a fancy jar.
The real difference lies in what kind of milk is used and how the ghee is made.

🔍 A2 vs A1 Ghee: What’s the Difference?

🔸 Point 🟢 A2 Ghee (JaatPantry) 🔴 A1 Ghee (Commercial)
Cow Breed Indian Desi Cows (Gir, Sahiwal, Rathi) Hybrid/Foreign Breeds (Jersey, HF)
Protein Type A2 Beta-casein (easier on gut) A1 Beta-casein (can cause inflammation)
Digestibility Easily absorbed by body May cause bloating, discomfort
Making Process Hand-churned Bilona method Industrial machine processing
Purity Traditional, minimal processing Often mixed with additives or cream
Health Benefits Boosts immunity, heart, digestion Low nutrient density

🛢️ How is ghee made? Not all methods are equal.

Now let’s understand the three common methods of making ghee, and why Bilona is considered king.

🔨 1. Bilona Ghee (Hand-Churned – JaatPantry Method)

Step-by-step traditional process:

  1. Desi Cow Milk is boiled.

  2. Milk is turned into curd (dahi) using a natural starter.

  3. The curd is hand-churned using a wooden churner (mathni) to extract makhan (white butter).

  4. Makhan is then slowly heated on woodfire to separate the ghee.

✅ 100% natural
✅ Maintains enzymes, good fats, aroma
✅ Rich in Omega-3, CLA, Vitamin A & D
✅ Ayurvedically recommended

💬 This is the ghee your grandmother made.
And the same one we make at JaatPantry.

🏭 2. Cream-Based Ghee (Industrial / Most Commercial Brands)

This method skips the curd and goes straight from milk to cream to ghee:

  1. Milk → Cream → Direct heating → Ghee

⛔ No fermentation
⛔ No hand-churning
⛔ Lower nutrition
⛔ Often made in bulk, with preservatives

Used by most packaged brands that claim "Desi Ghee" but aren't telling the full story.

⚙️ 3. Blended or Vanaspati-type Ghee (Worst Quality)

  • Uses animal fat, palm oil, or cheap vegetable oils.

  • Artificial color, essence, and thickening agents used.

  • Sold cheaply as “ghee” in local markets.

⛔ Dangerous for heart, liver, digestion
⛔ Not ghee at all — just a health risk

🏡 Why JaatPantry’s Ghee is in a League of Its Own

At JaatPantry, we do it the hard way — because that's the right way.

✨ Only A2 Desi Cow Milk
✨ Curd-based, not cream-based
✨ Hand-churned with love
✨ Slow-cooked in small village batches
✨ No shortcuts. No mixing. No chemicals.

Every jar of our ghee contains purity, patience, and a piece of our village.

❓Why should you pay a little more for this?

Because:

  • You are investing in real health, not just cooking oil.

  • You are supporting ethical dairy practices.

  • You are consuming something Ayurveda actually recommends.

Cheap ghee is easy to find. True ghee is rare. And it’s worth it.

👀 How do I know my ghee is truly A2 and Bilona-made?

✅ It smells earthy, nutty
✅ It doesn’t stick in your throat like oil
✅ It melts quickly
✅ It nourishes, not bloats
✅ It has a faint golden/caramel tone
✅ The brand is transparent about its process

If the brand isn’t telling you how it’s made — that’s a red flag.

🧡 Conclusion

Ghee is not just food — it’s medicine, energy, tradition, and trust.

And when it comes to your family’s health, nothing beats A2 Bilona Ghee — especially when it’s hand-crushed and lovingly made by people who believe in real food.
