We tried many different ghee brands before – never really satisfied with any one. When we tried this AO ghee; our long lasting quest instantly came to a joyful end right there and then. That taste and smell brought back childhood memories that I wasn’t aware I kept (talking about four decades plus here). This ghee has been an absolute godsend – the best available on earth, literally second to none. I took pleasure to inform all my family & friends. Not only informing them, but I made sure that they taste it when they visit us. We become so enthusiastic and passionate about it. It’s a pricey product, but it still instantly become a staple in our kitchen. After a year and consumption of 14 jars later; ghee in last jar I received few days ago was completely different. I usually transfer some amount from jar to a container using a knife as spatula. That’s been always a “buttery soft” experience on all previous jars (and we always store them at 72F room temperature at all times). But to my horror; product in this jar acted as dense as cheddar cheese. I had to literally muscle it out. Color was lighter (not wonderfully saturated yellow hue as before). Smell was lighter. It also tasted lighter. I wrote a quite harsh critique to provided email on company brochure (presuming that the purity of the product was intentionally compromised – to increase profit margin). I really didn’t expect any meaningful response – may be a canned text from a careless call center clerk at best (as it is the norm nowadays – that includes you Amazon). Still, since we prized that product a lot; I had a sliver of hope that there might be some explanation. To my surprise, owner of the company replied with a sincere explanation. It turns out that Amazon changed warehouse location for them from California to New Jersey. So to make it to my door step; my jar criss-crossed the continent twice over – from California to New Jersey to Seattle, probably freezing and thawing over several times in between (hence “Amazon effect”). That’s probably not the best exposure for such organic product with medicinal properties. Owner of AO immediately acted on to correct things. He’ll probably be looking in ways to optimize Amazon logistics details.
This ghee ranked 10 stars to me before (in Amazon’s 5-star ranking). Now after seeing honesty & integrity of the people behind it; I sincerely and wholeheartedly rank it 20 stars.

I'll start off by saying this is my favourite brand of ghee however there is certainly quality control problems!
The last several jars we have purchased have large air bubbles in them meaning that the jar isn't filled to the capacity it claims. In this case 32 ounces.
Other customers have had similar issues.
I weighed an empty jar and it weighs around 18oz or so. When I weighed the new, sealed jar I just received in the mail, it's a difference of at least 4 ounces.
In regards to the product itself, it is very aromatic.
Just please watch the air bubble problem and fill to the actual 32oz we are paying for. Thank you!

Ghee is not cheap but a little goes a long way. I used to cook with grass fed butter until I learned that different cooking butters and oils will oxidize and create free radicals if they are heated above their allotted temperature. Since then, I discovered ghee which is basically butter with all the milk solids removed. This makes it a much more stable fat to cook with and it can be heated to a much higher temperature than almost all other fats/oils without compromising it (485 degrees F). I just make sure to use a lid on my pans because ghee tends to spit out of the pan more than butter when heated initially.
Ghee benefits...
1. Contains one of the highest natural sources of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA is a potent antioxidant, anti-carcinogen & powerful immune system enhancer. CLA cannot be produced by the human body so the only way we can get it is through foods such as whole milk, butter, beef, and lamb. CLA has been shown to increase metabolic rate, lower insulin resistance and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. To get the most CLA, it is important to always buy grass fed ghee.
2. Ghee is rich in medium chain fatty acids, which are absorbed directly by the liver (like carbs) and burned as energy. Athletes can use ghee as a consistent energy source.
3. Ghee is rich in vitamins & does a whole number of things to aid in the process of digestion.

This has a richer, more buttery flavor than other brands I have tried.

This is now my favorite brand of ghee. I used to go with the Pure Indian Foods brand, but I like the taste of this brand a little better and this one is cheaper. I have cooked with both of them and although I couldn't detect much of a difference after I cooked with them, I would be able to tell the difference if I just put them on toast.By RD on May 31, 2016
