Description
Clarified from 100% Tasmanian grass-fed butter, this beautiful ghee is slightly caramel in flavour, delicate and amazing to cook with.
A traditional base for curries, Ghee is also a great flavour enhancer for any sauteeing or frying where oil or butter are used. Eggs fried in Ghee is an absolute delight!
Ghee is typically prepared by simmering butter, which is churned from cream (traditionally made by churning dahi), skimming any impurities from the surface, then pouring and retaining the clear liquid fat while discarding the solid residue that has settled to the bottom. Spices can be added for flavour. The texture, colour and taste of ghee depends on the quality of the butter, the milk source used in the process and the duration of time spent boiling.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GHEE
- Pure ghee with all water content properly removed doesn't have to be refrigerated, only stored in air-tight containers.
- Ghee is often substituted for oil during deep frying because its smoke point is much higher (482 F / 250 C) than that of many oils.
- Ghee is reported to help memory functions, ulcers, burn wounds, and even to slow cancer and certain diseases.
