Pure Ghee - Made from Kerrygold cultured butter (8oz)

  • $9.00
  • In stock: N/A

This probably is the most yellow ghee that you will ever see.  Yellow color is the sign of high content of fat-soluble vitamins, which are found in milk of cows eating rapidly growing grass.   Kerrygold butter is made only from spring and summer milk of cows grazing on beautiful lush pastures of Ireland.  This is why ghee made from Kerrygold butter is so yellow and so full of vitamins, which are vital to human health.  This aromatic ghee is semi-liquid at room temperature, has grainy texture and wonderful mild flavor.  Lactose- and casein-free.  Gluten-free.  Comes in a sealed 8 oz glass  jar.

Unlike butter, ghee is lactose- and casein-free.  It is prepared by removing all milk solids from butter, and the end product is a very heat-stable aromatic fat, that won't smoke and burn like butter, and won't go rancid easily.  Since all fragile proteins that easily get damaged by heat are removed, ghee is perfect for cooking.  It can also be spread on toast or bread, melted onto hot foods like rice or veggies, or used as a supplement.  Ghee gives an absolutely delicious flavor to foods!

One of the unique properties of ghee (if it is very pure) is its ability to penetrate deep into the cells (butter doesn't possess this feature).  This is why fat-soluble vitamins (there is a load of them in grassfed ghee!) are absorbed much easier from ghee than even from raw butter.  Penetrating ability of ghee can be effectively utilized by using ghee as a carrier delivering nutrients and desired herbal compounds to organs and tissues.  This property of ghee has been known in ancient India, and Ayurvedic medicine is employing it effectively.

Ghee is also used for healing digestive disorders.  It is known to repair gut lining (mucosa) and should be used liberally by people working on healing such conditions as leaky gut and gut dysbiosis.  Ghee balances cholesterol and is used for preventing and healing heart disease.  Ghee also promotes optimal thyroid function.  It  is very nourishing for the brain and is used to support good memory and high mental function.  Ghee contributes to maintaining beautiful complexion and healthy glowing skin.  In Ayurveda, ghee is considered sacred for all of these (and more) healing properties.  It is one of the most versatile remedies Ayurveda is relying upon.  Ghee is tridoshic, meaning that it is beneficial for people of all 3 body-mind constitutions (vata, pitta, kapha).

Claravale orders must be placed by 8pm on Saturday, for delivery the following Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday.

You can either return Claravale bottles to stores that sell Claravale or return them to your drop location for a refund. In order to receive a refund from Real Food (Bay Area) please adhere to ALL the following steps:
- Wash out all bottles and lids thoroughly, making sure there is NO milk or cream left inside. (Note: we don’t want to attract bugs or animals to our host locations).
- Place the lid on each bottle and write your name clearly on it. This will be the only way that we can match your refund up to your bottles.
- Make sure bottles are not chipped, as we will not give refunds for bottles that cannot be reused.
- Only return bottles in multiples of six. This is to make my driver’s job in tallying the bottles as quick as possible. If you have fewer than six bottles please wait until you have accumulated six and then return them. If you have more than a multiple of six, please only return the full multiple of 6 (6,12,18, etc.), and return the rest when you have accumulated more.
- Place bottles into empty milk crates at your drop location.
- Sign in the number of bottles you have returned on the sign in sheet on the back of the sign out sheet.
- Bottle deposit returns will be credited to your account once a month during the first week of each month. If you have a standing order, the amount will be credited towards your next order. If you do not have a standing order, I will send you a code to enter into your next order for you to receive credit.
- You will be refunded $1.25 for each Claravale bottle returned. The 25c difference from the price of the deposit you paid is to cover the additional delivery/pickup and administrative costs associated with returning the bottles. This way the price of Claravale milk and cream ($4 and $9 respectively) will not need to be raised for everyone, but those of you who want to use our service to return bottles will be paying to cover the associated costs.
