About Ghee

Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is made by gently heating butter to separate the milk solids and water from the pure butterfat, resulting in a rich, nutty flavor. Its high smoke point and longer shelf life make it an ideal choice for baking, providing moisture and tenderizing qualities to pastries and breads. Ghee's unique taste enriches baked goods, enhancing flavors while offering a lactose-free alternative for those with dairy sensitivities. Its ability to remain stable at room temperature adds convenience for home bakers.
