What's the difference between Ghee & Butter?

While butter is great on its own, we take it one step further to create Ghee, which is butter in its purest form. Traditional butter is typically 82% butterfat, with 17% of its formula being water and 1% milk fat and contains lactose and casein. Ghee is 100% pure butterfat, with no water, no lactose, and no casein. It's 100% of the good stuff in regular butter.

Here's a closer look:

  • BUTTER:

    • Churned from cow's milk into traditional block butter
    • The result is 82% butterfat, 17% water, 1% milk solids
    • Contains lactose and casein
    • Mild in flavor
    • Hard to use when kept cold and firm in the refrigerator
    • Burns and smokes between 300 and 350 degrees

  • GHEE:

    • Made by melting butter and allowing water to evaporate
    • Cooks long after water has evaporated to brown the milk solids
    • Milk solids are removed through filtration process
    • The result is 100% butterfat
    • Naturally free of lactose and casein
    • Rich nutty flavor
    • Soft and spreadable because it's shelf stable
    • Can be heated to 485 degrees before smoking
    • Added health benefits with more vitamin A and butyrate in every serving
