Best Ghee you'll find - ANYWHERE.

Ghee is very very good for you. And this is probably the best ghee my husband and I have ever eaten, and he has traveled extensively through India. This is real Desi ghee, made in the traditional way. It's fragrant, it's delicious, it's incredibly good for you - what else could you want? Oh wait! My son, who has a dairy protein allergy, can eat it. He's intolerance of even very small amounts of casein and lactose (like in homeopathic pills) but he can eat this ghee in good amounts (about a tablespoon a day) with no problems. It's so nice to be able to have this superfood back in our lives! Hope Pure Indian foods never changes their methods of production! <3

Large glass jar tastes delicious

I debated between the regular grass fed ghee and the cultured ghee, and I'm happy with the cultured ghee. To be honest I'm still not sure what the benefits are of cultured vs. uncultured (probiotics maybe?), but I love cooking with ghee and am especially happy to have found grass-fed organic ghee. After reading about how olive oil oxidizes at high heat, I've been cooking more and more with coconut oil and ghee. I finally ordered this grass-fed cultured organic ghee because, in spite of the high price, a little goes a long way and it is not that much more per ounce than the non-organic Trader Joe's version. It works beautifully for eggs and chicken and pretty much any other recipe and it doesn't overwhelm with flavor the way that coconut oil sometimes can. I especially love it with eggs because the flavor is so buttery and the leftover ghee tastes amazing on toast too. It says to store in a cool dry place, but I ended up keeping mine in the fridge and it has worked out fine. You can taste a little bit of the cultured taste, but it's really subtle and I think it mostly just tastes like delicious butter.

This is the best ghee out there

This is the best ghee out there. I've been buying Pure Indian Foods Cultured Ghee for a few years. I am sensitive to casein (typically break out in eczema), but I have no reaction to Pure's Cultured Ghee. Moreover, my partner loves it. When I tried another brand, he noticed immediately and was displeased with the taste of the alternative ghee product. We stick with Pure Indian Foods Cultured Ghee.

New customer for life, as long as they don't mess with their current perfection.

Clean and tasty, and easy on the stomach. Worth every penny of the (comparatively high) price. It seems to be every bit as clean of casein as they claim. I have celiac disease with casein cross-reaction issues, but I have no sign of them. For me some ghee is not clean enough, this is. Great in Bulletproof coffee! It has a lovely roasty-buttery flavor that has a caramel note to it. This is excellent stuff, and easy on the stomach. I won't be risking myself on anyone else's ghee anymore. They just got themselves a new ghee customer for life, as long as they don't mess with their current perfection.

Great stuff. And made from non-homogenized milk according to the label.

I purchased this for its organic, grass-fed properties. I was hoping that, like the non-cultured ghee sold by this same company, it came from non-homogenized milk. And indeed it does (the online descriptions here and on the company's site fail to mention this for the cultured ghee). According to some diets that I have taken a partial interest in (a la Dr. Price and Susan Fallon), getting grass-fed butter/ghee is very important, and the window in which the milk is harvested (and which this company follows) contributes to the properties as well. Such ghee contains tons more vitamins than the butter you can get in the store and contains them in a form that is far more bioavailable to our bodies than other sources. Additionally, it is safe for the lactose intolerant and is supposed to have this marvelous synchronized (Activator X) effect when consumed the same time you take your cod liver oil (for this, my doctors recommend that I take Carlson brand cod liver oil combined with some really good digestive enzymes, as I have a lot of difficulty with digesting fish and also almost any oil in its higher quantities). This works out fine for me. I take the enzyme with one serving of the Carlson cod liver oil right when I am about to consume rice or sweet potato with a little meat (this could also work with a sandwich, spreading the ghee on top). After I heat the food, I stir about 1/2 tsp of this ghee in to my 1- 1.5 tsp of cod liver oil (I think the ratio is actually supposed to be 1:1, but I don't want to overdo it on saturated fats no matter what the diet says). For those of us who cannot afford pure grass-fed and grass-finished beef, this is a nice and fairly economical way to get some of that vitamin powerhouse, although it is always best to consume that (over the alternatives) as well when we can. I also use small amounts of the ghee at other times during the day too. Remember that the fats are more concentrated in ghee than in butter (which contains a lot of water), so don't overdo it. This "cultured" ghee does indeed have that sort of uber-buttery taste that you find in certain artificial products and which I didn't even know occurred in nature. Another reviewer compared it to movie popcorn. But my body, which is very sensitive to artificial products, heartily agrees that this is natural and good for it (in the proper amounts). As for it being cultured, that adds flavor. I would be pleasantly surprised if it adds live cultures to our diets, as I think the heating of the butter probably kills those.

makes me feel good

I am seeing an ayurvedic practitioner who recommended that I use this for all my oil needs. It has been really good, tastes delicious, cooks well, spreads on toast easily and seems to keep me more satisfied than regular butter. I was concerned about the price at first, but now feel that it's ok because I like it so much.

The real deal - ghee, not just clarified butter

Not being Indian I probably shouldn't claim what constitutes real ghee and what is merely clarified butter. After all, the only thing like this I had growing was "drawn butter" like most Americans. But I find this cultured ghee to be higher quality than others I've tried, with a more complex taste. And doing a little research on what they claim is the manufacturing process (I have no reason to believe they're being deceptive.) it more closely matches the recipes I've found for traditional ghee preparation. It is definatly better than my home made clarified butter. The only explanation I can offer is the culturing.

Tastes like the best homemade desi ghee

Having consumed ghee since childhood which was prepared at home, i would like to specify that it brought back memories when i smelt this ghee. This is one of the purest ghee i must say specially after trying many brands. I am not able to prepare the ghee myself since the time i moved out of india. We use to get the milk from our family cow and prepare the ghee at home every two weeks and consume. This is the closest product comparing to the home made indian desi ghee. The smell, taste and texture are absolute perfect. Thank you for making it available.

Best alternative to Homemade ghee.

I love this ghee. I used to make my own, as did my mum and grandmothers, but life got busy and I haven't been able to make my own anymore. I'm willing to pay the extra price on this because it definitely beats having to collect cream for organic milk over weeks, culture it, make butter, and then make ghee. Which is what I used to do. Sure this ghee is more expensive than the stuff you get at the Indian store, which I do buy to make large quantities of sweets around festivals and so forth. But for the teaspoon or so that goes in dal and everyday food for the family, I stick to this brand. It's a great product. Tastes just like homemade.

Highest Quality Product

I learned to make Ghee decades ago and as one who is trained in Ayurveda I know a thing or two about such products. This is the highest quality product made of the products of GRASS FED cows. It is magnificent and offered in many varieties ALL of which are superb. Seems expensive but great quality and goes a very long way. If you are health conscious, this is the way to go!
