The Artistry of Traditional Ghee Crafting: Our Heritage Process

At Earth & We, we believe the true essence of ghee resides in its origin and the meticulous craftsmanship through which it comes to life. Our Natural Malanad Gidda Organic Ghee is created using time-honoured techniques passed through generations, ensuring each jar embodies the rich flavour and exceptional quality that define our brand. Allow us to guide you through our traditional ghee-crafting journey.

Preserving Heritage in a Modern World

In an era dominated by mass production and shortcuts, we remain steadfastly committed to safeguarding the traditional methods that have made ghee a treasured culinary staple for centuries. These methods are not merely quaint customs. They are essential practices which unlock the full potential of the milk, creating ghee that is truly extraordinary.

Our Heritage Process: An Artisanal Journey

Sourcing Exceptional Milk
Our journey begins with the procurement of the finest quality milk. The Natural Malanad Gidda milk is renowned for its luxuriously creamy texture and distinctive flavour profile.

We collaborate closely with local farmers who share our dedication to ethical and sustainable practices, ensuring the cattle are treated with utmost care and respect.ṁ

The Art of Curd Formation
The fresh milk is delicately cultured into curd, a process that imparts depth and complexity to the ghee's flavour character.

This crucial step also aids in breaking down lactose and casein, rendering the ghee more digestible for consumption.

Traditional Churning
The curd undergoes churning using time-honoured methods, separating the butter from the buttermilk.

This measured, deliberate process allows the butter to develop rich, aromatic qualities that form the foundation of exceptional ghee.

The Gentle Simmering
The butter is then carefully simmered in a spacious, open vessel—the heart of ghee crafting where true transformation occurs.

As the butter simmers, water gradually evaporates, and milk solids begin to separate and settle at the base.

Our skilled artisans vigilantly monitor this alchemical process, precisely adjusting heat and timing to ensure the ghee achieves its characteristic golden hue and nutty aroma.

Mindful Clarification
Once the milk solids have perfectly caramelised, the ghee is meticulously strained through fine muslin to remove any remaining impurities.

This fastidious step ensures the ghee remains pure, smooth, and entirely free from sediment.

Natural Maturation
The clarified ghee is allowed to cool and settle naturally. This maturation period enables the flavours to harmonise and deepen, resulting in ghee that is rich, complex, and utterly sublime.

Unwavering Quality Assurance
Every batch of our Natural Malanad Gidda Organic Ghee undergoes rigorous assessment to ensure it meets our exacting standards for purity, flavour, and aroma.

We uphold an unwavering commitment to transparency and quality, providing you with absolute confidence in the exceptional nature of our product.

The Virtues of Patience and Precision

Traditional ghee crafting is an art form demanding patience, precision, and a profound understanding of ingredients and processes. Our skilled artisans have refined their craft through years of dedicated practice, developing the ability to discern subtle nuances that distinguish truly exceptional ghee.

The Significance of Traditional Methods

Whilst modern technology offers more expedient ways to produce ghee, we believe traditional methods are essential for preserving its distinctive character and health benefits:

Enhanced Flavour Complexity: The slow, gentle simmering process allows the ghee to develop a richer, more nuanced flavour than ghee produced using accelerated methods.

Superior Digestibility: The culturing and churning processes facilitate the breakdown of lactose and casein, making the ghee gentler for those with sensitivities.

Nutrient Preservation: Traditional methods help safeguard the delicate nutrients and beneficial compounds naturally present in the milk.

Incorporating Our Ghee into Daily Life

Our Natural Malanad Gidda Organic Ghee is a versatile culinary element that can enhance your daily routine:
