Description
OG GHEE (known as the "Grand Daddy of Ghee") is a premium, locally sourced clarified butter that celebrates the richness of the Canadian dairy industry. Unlike standard ghee, OG GHEE is simmered for hours until the moisture evaporates and the milk solids deeply caramelize. This results in a golden-brown liquid with an intense, nutty, and toasted aroma. Sourced from 100% Canadian dairy through farmer-owned cooperatives, it is processed in small batches to ensure a high-purity product that is virtually free of lactose, casein, and whey.
As a Canadian provider based in Calgary, Alberta, we offer this artisanal staple with fast shipping nationwide. We support local farmers while providing home chefs and professional kitchens with a superior, high-smoke-point fat that elevates everything from traditional Indian cuisine to modern keto baking.
BEST FOR: High-heat sautéing, roasting root vegetables, bulletproof coffee, artisanal baking, and finishing steaks.
DIETARY NOTE: LACTOSE-FREE. CASEIN-FREE. KETO & PALEO FRIENDLY. GLUTEN-FREE. NON-GMO.

Comparison INFO
-
OG GHEE vs. Standard Butter: Butter contains water and milk solids that burn at 350°F. OG GHEE removes these, raising the smoke point to 485°F and extending the shelf life from weeks to over a year without refrigeration.
-
OG GHEE vs. Conventional Ghee: Many commercial ghees are simply clarified (moisture removed). OG GHEE is caramelized, meaning the milk solids are toasted before being filtered, giving it a much deeper, nuttier flavor similar to French beurre noisette.
-
OG GHEE vs. Coconut Oil: While both are stable fats, OG GHEE provides a savory, buttery flavor profile that is better suited for traditional cooking and baking where a tropical coconut scent is undesirable.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is OG GHEE used for? OG GHEE is a versatile cooking fat used exactly like butter or cooking oil. Because of its extremely high smoke point (485°F), it is the premier choice for sautéing, deep-frying, and searing meats where other fats would smoke or burn. It is also used as a flavor enhancer in "Bulletproof" coffee, a spread on toast, and a foundational ingredient in authentic Indian dishes like dal and biryani. Its caramelized flavor makes it a favorite for "finishing" dishes just before serving to add a rich, nutty aroma.
-
How much OG GHEE do I need for common applications? You can use OG GHEE in a 1:1 ratio to replace butter or oil in any recipe. For sautéing a standard pan of vegetables, 1 to 2 tablespoons is usually sufficient. In baking, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter, use 1/2 cup of OG GHEE. Because it is 100% pure fat with no water content, you may find you need slightly less than you would with regular butter (about 3/4 the amount) when substituting for liquid oils.
-
How do I store OG GHEE? OG GHEE is remarkably shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, such as your kitchen cabinet or pantry. Unlike butter, it does not require refrigeration, even after opening. To prevent spoilage, it is critical to only use clean, dry utensils when scooping the ghee; any introduction of moisture or food particles can cause mold. While refrigeration can extend its life, it will make the ghee very hard and difficult to spread.
-
How long does OG GHEE last? Unopened, a jar of OG GHEE can last between 12 to 18 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, it is best consumed within 6 months for peak flavor and aromatic quality, though it often remains safe to use much longer if kept free of moisture. Because it is pure butterfat with no milk solids or water to go rancid, it acts more like a vegetable oil than a dairy product in terms of longevity.
-
Is OG GHEE organic or grass-fed? OG GHEE is made from conventional, 100% Canadian butter certified by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. While not labeled organic, Canadian dairy is strictly regulated; it is illegal to use growth hormones in dairy cattle in Canada, and antibiotic use is heavily audited. The founder chooses to source domestically to support the local industry and maintain a lower carbon footprint rather than importing grass-fed butter from overseas.
-
Is OG GHEE a good value for home kitchens? Yes, OG GHEE offers excellent value because it is a concentrated, pure fat. Since regular butter is roughly 15-20% water, you are getting significantly more cooking "power" per gram with ghee. Its long, non-refrigerated shelf life also means zero waste from spoilage. For the quality of a small-batch, locally-made product with such a high smoke point, the 420g jar provides a professional-grade tool that replaces both your butter and your high-heat cooking oils.
