My husband and I got into a serious Indian food run a few months ago. Chicken Tikka is now on standard rotation along with meatloaf and taco night. We had picked up this ghee at our local world market and when I found that Amazon had it available on Subscribe & Save I signed up right away. This ghee is tasty and has the added bonus of being an import of Canada so it is rBGH free as Canada bans the use of the growth hormone.

I thought I was taking a chance on this item. Golly---I'm so glad I did. It does have a slightly nutty flavor. I tried it with tapioca toasted bread and added some raw honey. It was great. I will stay on suscribe with this. Thanks for the great product I have never heard of before. I am learning a lot at Amazon.com. They seem to have everything. This is a quality product that I don't think you should pass up.

People familiar with Indian cuisine already know ghee: it's like butter with all the junk that can burn taken out. Use this in your pan instead of butter and you'll have the advantages of oil with the creamy richness of unsalted butter. Besides Indian dishes, I use it to make excellent grilled cheese sandwiches with crispy golden exteriors.

As ghee goes, this is a fine one. If you prefer a ghee that has the runny golden oil component this may not be what you seek if the jar I got was representational. What I got was mostly solids, which I am fine with, as I have no preference. I have bought many makes of ghee over the years and this is very good. I bought this ghee to bump an order total up to get free shipping, and was not disappointed.

I can make no claims about the healthy qualities of ghee as opposed to butter - probably both can clog your arteries - all I can tell you is that it is great for cooking and tastes terrific.

I use Ghee butter for making bread with a bread machine... and it's just perfect for this use as it leaves my refrigerated butter for other purposes. Add to this it's great for seafood dipping and cooking, there is nothing quite like it. If you've ever had to clarify your own butter, you will come to appreciate that this product has done that work for you already. It tastes buttery and good, but is not salty so if you want salted butter just add salt to taste. It is a liquid upon arrival, but to make solid is as easy as refrigeration.

Can't go wrong with this product, was pleasantly surprised, and badly needed staples which can be delivered via UPS to my door in a rural location. What a fortunate find! Between Saco milk, ghee butter, deli cheeses and meats, life has much improved. Now if only I could find fresh eggs this easy to have delivered...

This ghee has a great, buttery flavor but is very, very soupy. I've used other ghees which were are solid at room temperature. This one is not and I don't care for that.

I've used other organic brands, this one just doesn't taste good to me. Almost rancid, definitely old. I far prefer Purity Farms, although it costs twice as much.

Still, a decent product for cooking and making bread. Not so good for slathering on bread. I'll not reorder this brand.

Desi Ghee is the BEST and easiest to use so far! I love how it stays firm when it's cool, and softens at room temp. Great to saute veggies in, and makes the best mac n cheese ever! LOVE the convenience of the autoship, thanks! Since this is from Canada, there are no hormones, or other gunk included! Nanak Pure Desi Ghee, Clarified Butter, 28-Ounce Jar

Just started using Ghee. After pricing products locally, ended up ordering Nanak Pur Desi Ghee. Product is good quality, was shipped promptly and a good value.

Nanak Ghee is of the highest quality and purity. The company ships promptly and packs items carefully. I will continue to do buiness with them on a regular basis.

I never tried Ghee before even though it was recommended to me. When you cook with it, it is butter without the burn and has a heartier flavor than butter. I use it anywhere I would use butter and feel the taste is superior.
