Ghee Buyer’s Guide

How much ghee you should purchase to get the best deal?

There are 4 main factors to consider when purchasing your ghee to maximize savings, nutrition and taste: shelf life, jar size, usage, and shipping cost.

Once you figure how much you will need you can figure how best to purchase your ghee figuring in multiple jar purchases and shipping. We offer discounts for multiple jar purchases which can help you keep to your budget as shipping multiple jars together can offer significant savings over shipping each separately.

Please note that our Cultured Ghee is available only 14 oz size at this time. Also, the prices indicated in this article are not applicable to Cultured Ghee.

#1 Shelf Life

This information applies to all of our ghee products, which includes ghee, cultured ghee, coconut ghee, spiced ghee, and Coffee++. The shelf life of unopened jar is one year, with or without refrigeration. The shelf life of opened jar is 3 months without refrigeration and one year in the fridge. Even though you could keep it for several years, ghee doesn’t stay completely fresh much longer than one year without the use of preservatives. We don’t use any preservatives in our ghee. In fact, the one and only ingredient in our ghee is milk, with absolutely nothing else added to it.

#2 Jar Size

You should buy that size of the jar that you can ideally finish in 3 months to get the freshest taste. The larger that jar, the more money you save. Please see the Unit Price below (not applicable to Cultured Ghee).

#3 Usage

If you want to use ghee in any way other than frying then you can purchase based on the above 3 factors. However, if you want to use ghee for deep fat frying then we suggest you purchase one or more 28.8 oz jars. You can see some of our recipes for ghee here.
