Organic Valley Ghee is a clarified butter made from organic pasture-raised cream, slowly simmered so the water cooks off and the milk solids caramelize. That leaves a nutty, lightly sweet fat with a high smoke point, suited to searing, roasting, sautéing and baking. It is lactose free and casein free, so it works for people avoiding milk sugars and proteins, though it is still dairy. Against supermarket ghee it stands out on organic sourcing and a clean, roasted flavor; against cheaper vegetable oils it costs more and brings a buttery taste some cooks don't want in every dish.

Buyers rate it highly and most praise the roasted, nutty taste and how well it sears and browns food. A few find the flavor too strong for baking or wish the jar were larger.
Organic Valley Organic Ghee Clarified Butter has a rich, nutty flavor. It is lactose free and casein free. The ghee is made by slowly simmering butter to remove excess water while preserving the nutritional benefits of pasture raised butter.
During simmering, some of the milk solids caramelize. This leaves hints of sweetness and roasted nuts.
Ghee has a high smoke point, so it works for cooking over high heat, including sautéing, frying, roasting and baking. It can be substituted for oil or organic butter in recipes, drizzled over popcorn, or added to coffee.
