A2 Bilona Ghee: India’s Purest Tradition of Wellness | Bharat Vedica

May 19, 2025Bharat Vedica

In India, food is more than just something we eat - it’s a source of strength, comfort, and wellbeing. Among our oldest food traditions, Bilona Ghee holds a special place. Prepared using the ancient Vedic Bilona method, this ghee is made by slowly hand-churning curd from pure desi cow’s milk. This gentle process helps preserve its natural aroma, taste, and nutrition.

At Bharat Vedica, we prepare A2 Bilona Ghee the traditional way so you get ghee that is authentic, pure, and naturally rich. It is loaded with essential fats and vitamins that support immunity, improve digestion, boost energy, and promote overall wellness.

This isn’t just another kitchen ingredient. It’s a piece of India’s heritage. Every spoonful brings the warmth of tradition, the purity of nature, and the goodness your meals deserve.

What Makes A2 Bilona Ghee Special and How the Bilona Method Works

A2 Bilona Ghee is pure ghee made from A2 milk of Indian Gir cows. What makes it truly special is the ancient Bilona method, a 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic way of preparing ghee. In this method, the milk is first boiled, then turned into curd, hand-churned to separate the butter, and finally slow-heated to create golden, aromatic ghee.

Because the process is slow and completely traditional, the ghee retains its natural nutrients, healthy fats, and rich homemade flavor - qualities that are often lost in machine-made or cream-based ghee.

Quick Definition:

  • Best A2 Cow Ghee in India:
    Ghee made from A2 milk, which contains only the A2 beta-casein protein.

  • Bilona Method:
    An ancient Vedic process where ghee is made from curd, not cream—hand-churned and slow-heated for purity and nutrition.

The Bilona Method: A Sacred Process

Unlike industrial ghee that is made by heating cream at high temperatures and mass-producing it through machines, Bilona ghee is crafted by hand using the following process:

Step-by-Step Bilona Process at Bharat Vedica:

  1. Sourcing A2 Milk
    We source fresh, raw A2 milk daily from ethically raised gir cows.

  2. Boiling the Milk
    The milk is boiled over cow dung cakes or wood fire, enhancing sattvic energy.

  3. Culturing into Curd
     The milk is cooled and set into curd overnight using a natural curd starter.

  4. Hand-Churning (Bilona)
    The curd is churned early in the morning using a wooden valona (churner) in a clockwise–anti-clockwise motion. This separates the makhan (butter) from buttermilk.

  5. Clarifying into Ghee
     The butter is then gently simmered on fire to obtain golden ghee, with natural aroma and granules.

  6. Straining and Storage
    The ghee is filtered using a muslin cloth and stored in glass jars to retain purity.

This method retains maximum nutrients, unlike industrial methods where the focus is on quantity and shelf-life over quality.

Health Benefits of A2 Bilona Ghee

Let’s take a closer look at why A2 Bilona Ghee, like pure Organic A2 gir cow Ghee, is known as a Rasayana (life-enhancing substance) in Ayurveda and modern health science.

1. Improves Digestion Naturally

A2 ghee activates Agni (digestive fire), which is responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating toxins.

Use: Add a spoonful of ghee to your meals or rice — it aids in digestion and prevents constipation.

2. Strengthens Immunity

The butyric acid in A2 Bilona Ghee strengthens gut lining and improves gut microbiota, the foundation of your immune system.

Use: Add to warm water or milk with turmeric during cold or flu.

3. Anti-Inflammatory & Detoxifying

It reduces internal inflammation, lubricates joints, and flushes toxins from the system — ideal for conditions like arthritis or IBS.

4. Excellent for Brain & Eye Health

Packed with DHA, A2 ghee nourishes brain cells and improves memory, especially in children and elderly.

Ayurveda prescribes ghee as medhya rasayana, meaning it enhances intelligence and memory.

5. Good Fats for Heart Health

Contrary to myths, moderate consumption of A2 ghee lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and boosts HDL (good cholesterol).

6. Supports Skin & Hair Health

It moisturizes from within. You can also apply it on chapped lips, dry skin, or as a natural baby massage oil.

7. Balances Doshas

According to Ayurveda, A2 ghee balances Vata and Pitta, and pacifies Kapha when used in moderation.
