MILKIO 100% Organic Grass Fed Ghee - USDA Certified Organic Clarified Butter - Paleo, Keto Friendly, Non-GMO, Gluten, Lactose & Casein Free, Kosher and Halal, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I’ve never tried cooking with Ghee at home before even though, many times, I’ve had dishes in Indian restaurants that were made with Ghee; so I’m a fan of the flavor that Ghee can add to a recipe.I was eager to try the MILKIO 100% Organic Grass Fed Ghee Butter and, after trying the Milkio version of Ghee I was pleased with the taste. For me, I think of the richness of flavor of this Ghee as kind-of like butter on top of butter on top of butter.I consider the taste of this Ghee to be in a completely different atmosphere than the less-expensive, mass-produced margarine that I normally use for cooking and spreading. At first taste, I thought that something was off in the taste (based on the product being so different from margarine) but I quickly realized that the taste of the Milkio Ghee is what a high-quality butter/ghee tastes should taste like.I first tried using the Ghee to make popcorn because I do like buttery popcorn, and the aroma that wafted up from the pot was just incredible. A deep, earthy, rich aroma that I truly enjoyed. Unfortunately, even though the Ghee easily handled the temperature needed to pop the popcorn, the flavor didn’t carry over to the popcorn so the next attempt will be to melt the Ghee first and then drizzle the butter over the popcorn after the popcorn is done.I also tried spreading the Ghee on toast and this is where the Ghee experience, the buttery flavor and mouth-feel really becomes so noticeable. A first-rate experience.Based on the product’s label, I can see that the Milkio Ghee Butter is a not just a little higher but a LOT higher in fat than cheap margarine, so the Ghee Butter is far richer and even oilier; to the point where I could sense an oily-like sheen on my lips after eating the oil.This makes the Milkio product something I won’t use in place of the lower-fatted version of margarine on a daily basis, but I will certainly use the Ghee in recipes that just call-out for an extra high kick of buttery goodness.

Three problems:1) it's expensive for such a small jar - I expect better2) two jars arrived opened/ leaking3) I ordered Jan 2023 and got jars from Feb 2022. I expect NEW inventory not old inventory for that price.

I tried both the 100% Organic Grass-Fed Ghee, and the Buffalo Ghee.The quality is quite good for both.The Grass-Fed Ghee has a pleasant creamy smell, and a smooth taste. Like most ghee, it has a somewhat sour flavor, and when cooked a sour smell.The Buffalo Ghee has a less creamy flavor, but also less sourness to it. I don't know exactly why this is. The other main difference is that it has less Cholesterol (16mg per serving vs 35mg)Unfortunately, the Buffalo ghee seal broke open and was leaking out (presumably turning liquid somewhere along the shipping process). Neither of these need refrigeration, and they were both shipped in an additional plastic bag - so I'm not worries about contamination or spoilage so much... but the oil still slipped out past the bag none-the-less.Ultimately, the value is too low. Each jar costs $22, but supplies 2 sticks worth of clarified butter. I just can't imagine using this regularly as a cooking oil. The different in quality next to my normal ghee isn't significant, but the price definitely is.I ordered both December 2022, and the jars are marked having been made nearly a year ago. The shortest expiration among the two is October 2023, leaving 10 months till expiration. Both made in New Zealand, but the Buffalo one says made from imported ingredients.

First off, this arrived safe and sealed. I’ve been a fan of ghee since the late 60’s when Graham Kerr, The Galloping Gourmet, introduced me to clarified butter. It’s great for cooking for both the flavor and the high smoke point. Clarified butter and ghee are in reality the same thing. Clarified butter is French and Ghee is Indian, otherwise there’s not much difference. This brand comes from New Zealand.I’d suggest that you put your Ghee in the fridge prior to opening as it is oily at room temperature. After it’s opened I let mine come back to room temp and transfer to a squeeze bottle that I keep near the stove as it can be stored at room temp for long periods of time.This is cow’s milk ghee and tasty. If you've never used ghee in cooking you may want to get the total impact of the product by making popcorn. You will see that the high smoke point and intense butter flavor is obvious. You will then be an official "Ghee Foodie" and use it for frying, basting and general cooking. Use it on any meat product but it will really shine when used to sauté fish. Wonderful!If you don’t use a lot of it, like I do, it’s fine to store in the fridge where it will harden but then you can just use a spoon to remove what you need from the jar. I’m very happy with this product.

We use ghee quite a bit to do Indian cooking but also generally speaking, especially if we can not get butter at the store and need to pinch hit.HOW THIS COMESThis comes in a plastic bag which is sealed (thank God) and the jar is inside. Ours came with ghee leaking everywhere.FLAVORThis is a nice tasting ghee and is easy to cook with.HOW TO USEThis does not generally have to be refrigerated but we will keep it there in hot weather. We just use as we do oil and butter. A little goes a long way. It is easy to over use this.THE BOTTOM LINEThis is a nice quality ghee. I only wish it had a better way to seal it in the jar for shipping so it does not leak all over. It is a greasy mess to clean up.MY RATINGFOUR STARS. I took a star off for not having it seal better for shipping, although the plastic bag was a lifesaver so nothing else was ruined in the shipment.
