THE NAME
The word Bilona comes from ancient Sanskrit traditions and refers to the wooden hand-churning process used to separate butter from naturally cultured curd.
Unlike modern industrial production, Bilona depends on patience, traditional wisdom, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
ANCIENT ROOTS
The Bilona method has been practiced across India for thousands of years. It is deeply rooted in Ayurveda and Vedic culture, where food was viewed not only as nourishment but also as medicine.
Before industrial dairy processing existed, families prepared ghee at home using cultured curd and wooden churners. This traditional process preserved nutrition, aroma and purity.
THE PROCESS
Milk is collected from indigenous Gir cows.
Milk is naturally cultured overnight.
Curd is hand-churned using a wooden churner.
Butter is slowly heated into golden Bilona Ghee.
