Frequently Asked Questions

What is ghee?

Ghee is clarified butter — butter that has been simmered until the water evaporates and the milk solids are removed, leaving pure golden butterfat. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a high smoke point, making it ideal for Indian cooking.

Is ghee better than butter for cooking?

Ghee has a higher smoke point than butter (around 250°C vs 175°C), making it more suitable for high-heat cooking such as tempering and frying. It also has a longer shelf life and does not need refrigeration.

Is ghee dairy-free?

No — butter ghee is made from dairy butter and contains trace amounts of milk proteins. For a dairy-free alternative, see our Vegetable Ghee range.
