Traditional methods brought back to the kitchen

Ghee has been made in much the same way for a very long time, which is usually a sign that the method is worth keeping.It begins as butter. Ours is made in the UK from organic British grass-fed dairy, bringing provenance and traditional production together in one golden jar.

The butter is slowly and gently clarified, removing the water and milk solids to leave behind a beautifully rich cooking fat.The result is smooth, golden and deeply buttery, with a gentle nuttiness all its own. Because the water and milk solids have been removed, it’s very low in lactose and casein, while naturally containing vitamins A and E.

Then there’s what happens in the pan. With a smoke point of around 250°C, ghee is made for heat. Fry eggs until golden at the edges, sear meat or fish, roast vegetables until beautifully caramelised or fold it through sweet and savoury baking. A spoonful can even be melted over finished food or blended into coffee, tea or matcha for a creamy, buttery finish.

Traditional in method, deeply satisfying in flavour and versatile enough to earn a permanent place beside the hob. One beautifully made ingredient, ready for the way you actually cook.

From a problem everyone had but nobody solved

Hunter & Gather began in 2017 with Amy and Jeff and a belief that everyday food could be made better. Amy grew up coeliac, reading every label and cooking from scratch from an early age. Jeff came to real food through his own journey with diet, lifestyle and supplementation. Different beginnings, but the same belief: food should be made from things your body recognises.

Real ingredients, chosen with purpose, without compromising on taste. It started with a jar of mayonnaise. Today, that same thinking goes into everything we make.

What is ghee?

Ghee is butter that has been slowly clarified. Simmering it gently evaporates the water and lifts away the milk solids, leaving pure golden fat with a smooth, deeply buttery flavour and a gentle nuttiness. Ours is made in the UK from organic, grass-fed British dairy.

Is Hunter & Gather Ghee high in vitamin A?

Yes. There is 1,062µg of vitamin A per 100g, which is 133% of the nutrient reference value. Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of normal vision and skin. The ghee also contains vitamin E at 28% of the NRV.

Does ghee contain lactose or casein?

Ghee is very low in both, because the milk solids are removed during clarification. It is still made from milk, and milk is declared as an allergen on the label. If you have a milk allergy, please speak with your doctor before including it in your diet.

What is the smoke point of ghee?

Approximately 250°C, which is considerably higher than butter at around 150°C. That is why ghee fries, roasts and sears without browning or turning bitter the way butter does, and why one jar covers everything from breakfast eggs to Sunday roast vegetables.

Does ghee need to be refrigerated?

No. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the lid closed, and it will keep perfectly well beside the hob. Use a clean, dry spoon each time, which is what keeps it at its best for longest.
