Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Vedic farm crafts, lab standards, and orders.

What is the difference between Vedic Bilona Ghee and commercial market ghee?

Commercial market ghee is produced by skimming raw milk cream using industrial centrifuge machines and boiling that cream directly at high heat. Vedic Bilona Ghee is made by boiling whole milk, culturing it into curd (Dahi) overnight in earthen pots, churning the curd bidirectionally with a wooden bilona into makkhan, and gently boiling that butter on low firewood flame. It takes 25-30 litres of A2 milk to make 1 kg of Bilona ghee compared to only 12-14 litres for industrial cream ghee.

Can people with lactose intolerance consume MILTERRA A2 Ghee?

Yes, absolutely! During the Vedic Bilona process, milk sugars (lactose) and milk proteins (casein) are consumed by the natural lactic acid bacteria during the curd culturing stage. Furthermore, slow simmering separates all remaining moisture and milk solids, yielding 99.8% pure clarified fat. As a result, genuine Bilona Ghee is virtually lactose and casein-free.

Does MILTERRA Ghee require refrigeration after opening?

No. Real Bilona Ghee has an extremely low moisture content (<0.2%) and natural antioxidants, allowing it to stay fresh at ambient room temperature for 12 months. Keep it in a dry, dark pantry away from direct sunlight and always use a clean, dry spoon.

Why is MILTERRA Wood-Pressed Mustard Oil pungent and cloudy?

Our mustard oil is crushed using traditional wooden pestles (Lakdi Ghani) below 45°C. We never use hexane chemical solvents or chemical bleaching filters. The intense tear-jerking pungency comes from natural allyl isothiocyanate, and the slight cloudiness is natural cold-pressed micro-sediment that holds natural vitamin E and plant sterols.

Why does MILTERRA Ghee develop a grainy (danedar) texture?

Danedar texture is the natural crystalline signature of slow-clarified, grass-fed cow ghee. When ghee cools naturally in earthen or glass containers, different fatty acids crystallize at different rates, forming tiny golden grains. Industrially homogenized ghee appears flat and waxy because fat crystals are mechanically pulverized.

How does MILTERRA ensure glass bottles don't break during delivery?
