About this product

Milk is boiled, set into curd, churned by hand to bring up the butter, and then that butter is clarified. It is a slow process that yields about a quarter of what a machine route would from the same milk, which is why bilona ghee is priced the way it is. The result is grainy rather than smooth, and it smells strongly of cultured milk.

Standards

What we check before a product is listed

Four things we do not compromise on, because a handmade product is judged on all of them.

No preservatives in food
Pickles are cured with oil and salt, not vinegar and stabilisers. Bakery is dispatched within a week of baking.
Azo-free dyes in textiles
Reactive and natural dyes only, printed and dried in shade so the colour bonds to the fibre instead of sitting on it.
Cure times are respected
Six weeks for cold-process soap, four weeks for pickle, three weeks for lemon. Shortening these is how a handmade product is made to look handmade.
Batch-tested where it matters
Honey, ghee and spices are tested for adulteration before packing, and the report is available on request.

Ask about this product

Why is it grainy?

Bilona ghee is granular because it comes from cultured curd rather than separated cream. A smooth, uniform texture usually means a machine route.

Who actually makes these products?

Women-led Self Help Groups registered under NRLM, working from their own villages. Every product page names the group, the village and the district it came from, and you can read the full group story on its own page.

How is a Saahvi price worked out?

The group quotes a price that covers its material cost and the wage it wants to pay. We add packing, courier and our commission on top and show the split. Groups can change their quote at any time, and we do not negotiate it downwards.

How long will my order take?

Most food and personal care items are dispatched within 48 hours and delivered in 4–7 days. Large textile items such as quilts are stitched to order and take 7–10 days. The product page shows the estimate for the item you are looking at.

“I bought the mango pickle expecting the usual jar. It is properly hot and the oil cap is real mustard oil. I have ordered it three times now and sent the honey to my mother.”
