A family with a long heritage of producing Ghee in India is now buying butter made with milk from small, grass-based family farmers here in the US. This appears to be a wonderful partnership and a product that allows cooking with butter at higher temperatures. They write:
We use butter made only in Springtime through the Fall, when the cows are actually out on the pasture eating fresh green grass. We make our ghee only on the waxing or full moon days which are auspicious in the ancient Vedic system. Our family has been in the ghee business in India for 5 generations, since 1889, and we are proudly continuing that tradition. |
