Product Review: Finck Naturkost Ghee

 What is ghee?

The closest product to butter without dairy, is without a doubt, ghee. It's origin is in South Asia and is used for both cooking and rituals.

Traditionally, ghee comes from cow's milk, and it's prepared by simmering butter and removing all residue (milk solids) Therefore ghee is also ok to use by people with a dairy allergy.
However, some ghee might have a small percentage of milk solids left, so it's important to always check the label. Ghee has a long shelf life and can be kept outside the fridge, also after opening.

Clarified butter or ghee?

You might have heard of clarified butter, and often ghee is referred to as clarified butter as well. In the broader sense, this is correct, although the preparation process is slightly different.
Clarified butter is made after the water has evaporated and the milk solids are removed, whereas with ghee the milk solids are simmered in the butter, creating a more nuttier taste.

The product: Finck Naturkost Ghee

This is definitely the best ghee we've tasted so far.  Soft and creamy, it keeps it's texture even when the room
temperature is a bit higher.
