What Is the Bilona Method? The Ancient Art of Making Real A2 Desi Ghee

The Ancient Secret Hidden in Your Spoon of Ghee

Ever wondered why some ghee smells heavenly, tastes divine, and heals your body from the inside out—while others feel bland, greasy, or just... ordinary?

The difference lies in how it’s made.

Welcome to the Bilona method, a sacred, slow, and powerful Ayurvedic process that transforms Desi cow milk into liquid gold—real A2 ghee.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what Bilona is, how it works, why it’s better than modern methods, and how you can taste the difference with Sarvadhenu A2 Bilona Ghee.

Let’s uncover the truth your ancestors lived by—and big brands won’t tell you. 


 What Is the Bilona Method?

The Bilona method is a traditional Ayurvedic process of making ghee that involves churning curd (yogurt) made from Desi cow milk to extract makkhan (butter), which is then heated slowly to produce pure A2 ghee.

The 5-Step Bilona Process:

  1. Milking Desi Cows (e.g., Sahiwal, Gir)

  2. Boiling and Cooling the Milk

  3. Curd Setting Overnight (Dahi Banane ki Vidhi)

  4. Churning Curd with Wooden Bilona (Mathani)

  5. Separating Makkhan and Heating to Make Ghee

Why It’s Special:

Unlike factory-made ghee, which often uses cream or malai directly, Bilona uses curd—which means it retains more digestive enzymes, fat-soluble vitamins, and Ayurvedic properties.

“Bilona ghee is not just food. It’s a rasaayana—an elixir for your body, mind, and soul.” – Vaidya Sudhir Sharma

Sarvadhenu A2 Ghee is made using the Bilona method from Sahiwal cows, fed on native grasses and herbs. The result is ghee you can feel healing you. 

Science Supports the Bilona Process

Though it’s ancient, the Bilona process is backed by modern science:

  • Butyric acid in ghee made from curd is higher → boosts gut health

  • Contains CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) → supports weight loss and immunity

  • Higher antioxidant content → slows aging

A study by ICAR-NDRI found that ghee made from curd had better digestive enzyme compatibility than ghee from cream. 


🧠 The Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, ghee made from curd using the Bilona method is classified as:

  • Tridosha balancing

  • Samskara Anuvartini (adapts to carry herbs & nutrients)

  • Ideal for panchakarma, immunity, and mental clarity

“Ghee from Bilona is medhya—a nourisher of the mind. It improves memory and balances ojas.” — Charaka Samhita

 


 

 👩🌾 Real Story: From Cow to Kitchen at Sarvadhenu

  • Milk is boiled over traditional wood fire

  • Curd is set naturally overnight

  • Churning is done with wooden Bilona tools by women trained in Ayurvedic practices

  • Ghee is stored in glass jars to maintain purity

Every jar of ghee you get is a tribute to tradition and trust.
