In the world of traditional Indian wellness and cooking, ghee holds a special place — it’s not just a cooking fat, but a sacred ingredient deeply rooted in our culture, Ayurvedic science, and spiritual practices. However, not all ghee is created equal.
At Nyal Naturals, we believe in going back to our roots, which is why we craft our A2 Bilona Ghee using time-honored methods passed down for generations. But what exactly is the difference between Bilona Ghee and the more commonly found Cream Ghee? Why does it matter for your health, your family, and your food?
Let’s dive deep.
1. Understanding the Basics: What is Bilona Ghee?
Bilona Ghee is made using a traditional Ayurvedic process called the Bilona method. This process includes:
- Boiling raw A2 milk (from desi cow breeds like the Gir cow)
- Allowing the milk to naturally curdle into yogurt
- Hand-churning the curd to extract butter (makhan)
- Slow-heating the butter over a wood fire to produce golden ghee
This method is labor-intensive and yields less, but the nutritional and medicinal value is immeasurably higher.
💛 Nyal Naturals Bilona Ghee is made from 100% A2 milk of indigenous Gir cows, raised with organic fodder and love — no shortcuts, no machines, and no compromise.
2. What is Cream Ghee?
Cream ghee, or commercial ghee, is made by:
- Separating cream from milk mechanically
- Heating it directly at high temperatures to get ghee
The cream used is often from hybrid or HF cows, and sometimes even from a mix of animal milks. The focus is on mass production, not nutrition.
⚠️ Cream ghee may look the same on the shelf but is vastly different in essence.
3. The Nutritional Comparison
| Nutrient/Quality | Bilona Ghee | Cream Ghee |
|---|---|---|
| Cow Breed | Desi (Gir, Sahiwal – A2 milk) | Mostly HF or Jersey (A1 milk) |
| Source | Cultured curd (yogurt) | Fresh cream (malai) |
| Churning Method | Hand/wooden churn (bilona) | Industrial separators |
| Heating Method | Slow-cooked over fire | High-temperature, fast processing |
| Nutritional Value | Rich in CLA, Butyrate, Omega-3 | Lower due to heat & processing |
| Digestibility | High (suitable for lactose-intolerant) | Lower |
| Ayurveda Value | Satvik, tridosha balancing | Tamasic, aggravates Pitta & Kapha |
| Shelf Life (natural) | Long without preservatives | May require additives |
4. Health Benefits of Bilona Ghee
- ✅ Boosts Immunity: Rich in antioxidants and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
- ✅ Aids Digestion: Contains butyric acid which heals the gut
- ✅ Balances Hormones: Supports brain and hormonal health
- ✅ Safe for Lactose-Intolerant People: No lactose or casein remains
- ✅ Anti-inflammatory: Helps reduce internal inflammation
Cream ghee lacks many of these benefits because the milk is not fermented, and heat destroys essential nutrients.
5. Ayurveda Speaks: Why Bilona Ghee is Sacred
In Ayurveda, ghee made from curd, not cream, is considered “medhya rasayana” — a rejuvenator of the brain and body.
Only Bilona Ghee is suitable for:
- Panchakarma detox
- Abhyanga (massage) therapy
- Nasya (nasal oil therapy)
- Agni deepana (digestive fire stimulation)
That’s why at Nyal Naturals, we make ghee as Ayurveda intended — not for commerce, but for healing.
6. The Cost Factor — Why Bilona Ghee is Pricier
Many customers ask us: “Why is Bilona Ghee more expensive?”
Here’s the truth:
- It takes 25–30 liters of A2 milk to make 1 liter of Bilona Ghee
- The process is manual, slow, and seasonal
- Gir cows give less milk, but high-quality A2 milk
Cream ghee, on the other hand, is:
- Mass-produced
- Uses machines
- Can be made from milk of any origin
With Nyal Naturals, you’re paying for purity, tradition, and health — not just the product.
7. Choosing the Right Ghee for You
If you care about:
- Authenticity
- Gut health
- Conscious eating
- Indian wellness traditions
Then Bilona Ghee is for you.
But if you’re simply looking for something cheap and quick, cream ghee might serve the purpose — at a cost to your long-term health.
