Claims are cheap. Here is our evidence.
Anyone can print the word pure on a label. This page explains exactly what we do so that word means something.
1. Direct sourcing
We buy from named suppliers in the Cholistan belt: herders we collect from and beekeepers we work with each season. We do not buy from open wholesale markets, where blending happens before the product ever reaches a brand.
2. Traditional processing
- Ghee: milk is set into curd, hand churned into white butter, then slow cooked over a low flame. Nothing is added at any stage.
- Honey: combs are cold extracted and passed through a mesh strainer only. No heating, no pasteurising, no ultra filtration, no syrup feeding.
3. Laboratory testing, every batch
Before a batch is packed, a sample goes for testing.
- Ghee is checked for vegetable fat and vanaspati adulteration, free fatty acid level and moisture.
- Honey is checked for added sugar, moisture content and HMF, which rises when honey has been heated.
4. Batch numbering
Every jar carries a batch number. That number matches a specific test report. Send us the number and we will send you the report for your jar.
5. Glass packaging
We pack in glass, not plastic. Warm ghee and raw honey both sit better in glass, and it keeps the product free of any plastic taint.
Home tests you can do yourself
These are not laboratory proof, but they are the checks people have always used.
Desi ghee
- Melt a spoonful. Pure ghee melts quickly and evenly into a clear golden liquid. Adulterated ghee melts unevenly and may leave a whitish residue.
- Refrigerate a spoonful. Pure ghee sets grainy and firm all the way through, in one uniform layer. Blended ghee separates into layers.
- Rub a little between your fingers. It should absorb and smell nutty, not waxy.
Honey
- Raw honey crystallises in cold weather. Honey that stays perfectly clear all winter has usually been heated, or is not honey.
- A drop of raw honey holds its shape briefly on the thumb before spreading. Syrup heavy honey runs immediately.
- Raw honey pours in a continuous thread and folds on itself in the jar.
An honest note on crystallisation
If your honey granulates, nothing has gone wrong. Granulation is one of the clearest signs honey has not been heat treated. Stand the jar in warm water, not boiling, and it will soften.
