"The folks giving bad reviews on this product don't seem to understand that creamed coconut is not the same as condensed coconut milk."

Best Ghee
The difference between Ghee and clarified butter lies in their flavor and shelf stability: Ghee is superior on both counts Ayurveda recognizes ghee as an essential part of a balanced diet and is considered to be the very best oil one can eat. Comprised of full spectrum short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids, Ghee contains Omega 3 and Omega 9 essential fatty acids along with vitamins A, D, E and K. Our Ghee is one of the highest natural sources of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) because we use only the highest quality organic butter of pastured cows. CONTAINS TRACES OF OMEGA 3, 6, 9, VITAMINS A, D, E & K. MADE WITH BUTTER FROM GRASS-FED AND PASTURED COWS.

I used to cook with grass fed butter until I learned that different cooking butters and oils will oxidize and create free radicals if they are heated above their allotted temperature. This makes it a much more stable fat to cook with and it can be heated to a much higher temperature than almost all other fats/oils without compromising it (485 degrees F)."
"I bought this a month ago based on an article in one of the "at the chekout stand" magazines. Women were losing an amazing amount of fat by adding 2 tablespoons of butter from grass fed cows to their morning coffee (using a blender). I expected to feel better by adding this butter, but didn't realize i would experience this wonderful side benefit as the women in the article did."
"I also can't see myself sitting her licking it off a spoon. What I lack in enthusiasm for eating it by itself, I make up for by being totally enthusiastic for cooking and baking with this. I could make a grilled cheese and just by buttering the bread with this Ghee, it's out of this world delicious. Apparently you can make it by taking a block of unsalted butter, getting it to boil at a medium heat, and running it through a cheesecloth. But judging from all the comments here, it probably wouldn't be near as good as Ancient Organics."
"Ghee is very shelf stable at room temp but it's suggested to refrigerate after 2 mos. UPDATE: I still have not repurchased because of my experience having to waste product because I could never open the lid and the last time I banged the lid too hard with a hammer and ended up with glass everywhere and in the ghee which I had to discarddd. Plant based oils high in Omega 3 fats are the healthiest oils including avocado oil which like ghee has a high smoke point."
"This is the best Organic Ghee out there I have found."
Best Lards
Leaf Lard is still famous and still unrivaled for good reason: it is the best and it produces results that are far superior to any other shortening or cooking oil. Bright White - Absolutely No Porky Flavor - Low Odor (Pleasing) = Highest Quality Score.
