Why is our ghee temporarily paused?
Two reasons —
Firstly, a portion of our ghee is reserved for preparing Panchagavyam for the upcoming Aadi sowing season to nurture and prepare the soil.
Secondly, summer naturally affects ghee production. During hotter months, indigenous cows consume less fibre-rich fodder and more water to cope with heat stress. Since fibre fermentation in the rumen is responsible for producing the building blocks of milk fat, the milk naturally contains less fat during summer.
In addition, the cultured cream used for traditional bilona-style ghee ferments much faster in warm weather. Higher temperatures accelerate microbial activity, making it more challenging to maintain the slow, controlled fermentation that contributes to the flavour, aroma, and quality of the final ghee.
Rather than rush the process, we choose to respect the season and wait for conditions that support the quality we believe in.
