“I started Great Ghee because I wanted a cooking fat I could fully trust. Something clean, pure, and reliable that I felt good using every day. That same standard led me to build labtestedfoods.com, so you can easily find every food that meets our rigorous lab-tested criteria.”
Explore Lab Tested FoodsGhee is clarified butter that has been simmered to remove milk solids and water, leaving behind pure butterfat. Our ghee is made by slowly heating high-quality butter at low temperatures, allowing the milk solids to separate and caramelize slightly. These solids are then carefully strained out, resulting in a golden, aromatic cooking fat with a rich, nutty flavor and a high smoke point of around 485°F.
Ghee is incredibly versatile! Use it for high-heat cooking like searing steaks, sautéing vegetables, or stir-frying. It's perfect for roasting meats and vegetables in the oven. Spread it on toast, melt it over popcorn, or stir it into coffee for added richness. You can also use it in baking as a 1:1 replacement for butter or oil.
Yes! Ghee has been used for centuries as a natural moisturizer. It's rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with fatty acids that can nourish and hydrate skin. However, our ghee is a food product first and foremost, so always do a patch test before applying to larger areas of skin.
Great Ghee stands apart because it's sourced and produced exclusively in Virginia using small-batch, low-temperature clarification methods. We use only one ingredient — pure butter from grass-fed cows. Our ghee is glyphosate-free and 3rd party lab tested for 195 common contaminants.
Ghee is generally well-tolerated by people with lactose intolerance because the clarification process removes virtually all milk solids. However, trace amounts may remain, so those with severe dairy allergies should consult their healthcare provider before consuming.
Ghee has a rich, nutty, and slightly caramelized flavor that's more complex than regular butter. The slow clarification process creates a deep, savory taste with a hint of sweetness. The flavor is warm and toasty, adding depth to everything from vegetables to baked goods.
No refrigeration needed! Ghee is shelf-stable at room temperature. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly stored, ghee can last for several months at room temperature, or even longer in the refrigerator if you prefer a firmer texture.
