It is understood that the current market has become a bit saturated, which is why many companies in order to remain in the competition are trying to maintain the quality of their old items or re-packaging them.

The slow cooking of the oil allows us to preserve the vitamins found in butter that burns off in high-temperature cooking. Use to saute, bake, scramble, or fry, in salad dressings or even blended in your hot coffee. Excellent for high-temperature cooking.” Ghee in hot coffee?
