Production Process

Healthy Happy Buffaloes

One of our main goals at Katori is to promote sustainable, natural, and ethical dairy practices and our team closely works with partner farmers to adopt this ethos. Our buffalos are let loose in the plains of the Chambal basin, an area that is free from pollution & pesticides. Our buffaloes are also seldom tied and bask in the sun for at least 5 to 7 hrs daily to ensure they are healthy and happy.

Traditional Method

Around 20-25 liters of buffalo milk is required to make 1 liter of Ghee.

Separating the cream: Raw milk is heated to an appropriate temperature of 30 to 35 degrees. This milk is then put into a machine to separate the cream and tone milk.

Curd formation: To this cream, fresh additional raw milk is added in the same proportion. This is heated and then cooled. A curd starter is added to it and left overnight to let the curd set in.

Churning of curd: The curd is churned using a wooden churner called bilona in two motions – clockwise and anti-clockwise – the best way to separate butter (Makhan) and buttermilk. This makkhan is kept in a cool dry place for 4 days.

Making of ghee: The makkhan is put in a stainless steel pot and heated on a medium-high flame till the ghee is separated. Finally, this aromatic & delicious-smelling golden liquid is strained through a strainer and stored in jars.

It is made in small batches and conforms to the highest quality processes with all certifications & compliances met.

Storage Instructions:

1. If unopened, then store in a cool, dark place. There is no need to refrigerate
2. Once opened, use within 3 months. To extend shelf-life, refrigerate for up to a year
3. Keep moisture out of the ghee jar, as the water will turn the ghee rancid very quickly
