Cultured Ghee from Pure Indian Foods is a grassfed, certified organic cultured ghee, the maker's flagship clarified butter made by churning naturally cultured cream before clarifying. It carries the buttery taste and slight tang of cultured foods, with a high 485 F smoke point and a clean label suited to Paleo, Keto, and Whole30 diets. Still handmade by a fifth-generation family business since 1889.
