I got this Ancient Organics 100% Organic Ghee from Grass-fed Cows "” 32 oz Jar in November 2018, during a Black Friday sale, even though I usually make my own organic ghee (its very simple, just heat unnsalted butter [actual BUTTER, not margarine or other "butter-like spread" because I don't know how that will work out] on your stove over low or medium-low heat, stirring it often until the butter melts and the liquid becomes clear/see-through/transparent, meaning the milk solids have been removed, then strain it into a jar). Because it was a "Lightning Deal" sale and the timer was about to run out on the sale, I bought this pre-made ghee impulsively, on a whim.

But even though the taste was great (and maybe even better than the home-made version) in retrospect, I don't think it was worth the price "” even with the discount. Because the listed regular price is $39.95 for the 32 oz bottle and though I've forgotten the exact sale price of this ghee, when I checked the order details/invoice, there were two items on the order (this ghee and one other Lightning Sale item) and if I recall correctly the two Lightning discounts were in the amount of $10 something, and $3 something. Which means the lowest price the ghee could've been is $29.95 which in retrospect is WAY too expensive, considering that since I can get 1 lb (16 oz) of organic grassfed pastured butter for $4-$7. Which means that for $8-$14 and about ½ hour of time, I can get the SAME amount of organic, grassfed and even pasture-raised ghee, for HALF the cost of this item. So I deducted one star for being ridiculously pricey.

That being said, it was MY mistake not to pay attention to whether it really was a good deal or not "” and granted, this ghee IS GREAT. It spread well, and had a wonderful aroma and flavor/taste."¨"¨ So if you don't really care about saving money, then this overpriced ghee, would be great for you. But if you have a limited budget because of a low and/or fixed income (like me living on permanent disability [supplemented by the financial support of family] "” thanks vaccines/Big pHARMa! 🤬) then you're probably better off just making your own ghee for a fraction of the price. Like I said, it's very easy. Just get some unsalted butter (whether you want to go organic & grassfed/pasture-raised is up to you, but in my opinion, you should, if you can afford it "” because not only is the taste much better but you reduce [maybe even eliminate!] exposure to all the synthetic chemical additives, and hormones & antibiotics in conventional butter) and melt it in a saucepan over low or medium-low heat and stirring it constantly, till it becomes a clear liquid without the white spots of milk solids. Then strain the ghee into a jar, vóila, you've made ghee!

All in all though, this ghee is pretty great, and if it weren't for the insane price, I'd have probably bought it regularly to save the time of standing over a stove stirring the butter, waiting for it to melt and then clarify. But the price is not worth saving that ½ hour or so. Which is why I've given the rating that I have.

"¨â˜…☆★☆ 4 STARS!!!

This was my first ghee purchase ever. I had never heard of ghee before, but I found it whilst I was looking for something with a high smoke point for my stove top popcorn maker. After reading about this ghee and reading so many of the enthusiastic reviews, I decided to order it. Thirty-two ounces seems a lot of ghee for one person, but it is good for one entire year, and I normally use quite a bit of butter/margarine each month, so I think I can use it up within a year and maybe sooner.

The jar was very well wrapped, even aesthetically wrapped, and it came in a nice, sturdy box that is entirely reusable once the jar is empty---I plan to store the jar in the box inside my cool, dry, dark pantry. (In fact, the jar itself is of such nice quality that I plan to reuse it once I have used up the ghee.) I expected it to arrive wrapped well enough to withstand the journey, but this was almost wrapped like a gift and was a lot of fun in the unwrapping to my surprise. There was a date label on the lid to tell me exactly how long I could reasonably expect to use it, too, so I need not try to remember exactly whence I purchased it. I love the large, heavy jar it come in. I am so sick of everything coming in plastic containers these days whence glass is so much nicer in so many ways.

Once I unwrapped my jar, I could not wait to try it, so I popped some bread into the toaster. A minute or two later my toast was ready for the ghee. I opened the jar and sniffed. It smelt quite fresh and nice---nothing at all chemical about it---and, it was a lovely buttercup yellow colour. I spread it on my toast and took a bite. YUM!!! This is delicious!!! I cannot wait to try it in my popcorn popper as well as in cooking veggies, etc., etc.

I am very pleased with my purchase of Ancient Organics ghee and will purchase it again in future. Yes, at first glance, $35 (shipped) seems expensive for a jar of "butter," but the quality of this product is so much better than the usual margarines/butters purchased at the market, and if you divide the cost by fifty-two weeks in a year, it breaks down to sixty-eight cents a week or $2.72 a month, which is about as much as I spend on one small, plastic tub of margarine at Wal-Mart. So, is this a good dea?l?! I would say so!!!

I also LOVE the fact that it is made from the milk of cows that are grazed on good grasses and are never treated with drugs and/or confined to feed lots as I LOATHE factory farming. Using these sorts of products leaves my conscience free that I am not supporting an industry that factory farms animals for any purpose. The old saying "you are what you eat" is true on so many levels, and I feel good eating this ghee.

I definitely recommend this ghee. Just try it. You will not be sorry. Oh, I also later found it on the manufacturer's website in smaller sized jars, so if you are really nervous about the purchase, try a small bottle for around $12 first. However, I think you will love it enough to want the thirty-two ounce jar the second time around. If you have a family or two or more, and you cook with butter and use it on toast, popcorn, etc., then I have no doubt that you can easily use up a thirty-two ounce jar in less than a year and maybe in as little as six months or less. It just depends on how much butter/margarine you normally use each week.

This not a spreadable butter. This is for COOKING. Not to eat at room temperature in a sandwich. It is easy to HANDLE, yes. Absolutely the real flavor, not like others that are burned or not well prepared.

Expensive. It's a quality product.

This is the best ghee ever. So good, so clean and the most amazing process. My friend went to their processing facility and told me all the details of how they produce it - I've never been so happy to support this company! I have it on autoship and love supporting companies with high integrity who deeply care about their products!
