The Lost Art of Bilona Makkhan: Why White is Better than Yellow

Most butter found in stores today is “Yellow Butter”—mass-produced from cream, heavily salted, and often loaded with coloring agents. Swarn Kapila Organic Dairy Farm’s Premium A2 Desi Makhan is a return to the “Loni” of our grandmothers.

Our A2 Makkhan is made the Vedic way. We don’t just separate cream; we set the whole A2 milk into curd and then churn it using a wooden Bilona. This “Cultured Butter” process is what gives our makkhan its distinct, slightly tangy aroma and superior health profile. Because it is hand-churned at low speeds, the molecular structure of the fats remains undamaged, making it a “living food” rich in natural enzymes.

Nutritional Powerhouse for Mind and Body

White butter is often feared by dieters, but A2 Gir Cow Makkhan is a source of Lecithin, which actually helps the body metabolize cholesterol and fat more efficiently.

• Brain Health: Rich in Arachidonic Acid and DHA, essential for cognitive function and memory—especially in growing children.

• Joint Lubrication: Traditionally used in Ayurveda to treat joint pain and stiffness, acting as a natural lubricant for the musculoskeletal system.

• Immunity & Skin: High concentrations of Vitamin A and E support a glowing complexion and a robust immune response.

• Bone Strength: Natural Vitamin D in A2 milk butter helps in better calcium absorption, preventing bone density issues.

The “Gau Amrit” Connection: Sourced from Gir Cows

Our Makkhan starts at our farm. Our Desi Gir Cows are treated with love and graze on natural fodder. This ensures that the milk is 100% A2, free from the inflammatory A1 protein. When you eat Swarn Kapila Makkhan, you are consuming the essence of “Panchgavya”—pure, ethical, and energy-dense.
