Sol Organics Sol Ghee Org 1kg
Certified organic ghee handcrafted in Byron Bay from 100% certified organic unsalted butter from grass-fed New Zealand cows. Nothing added, nothing removed. The 1kg tub for households and cooks who use ghee every day.
Sol Organics was founded in Byron Bay in 2014 by Jen, who set out to make clean, nutrient-rich grass-fed ghee using traditional Ayurvedic methods. Every batch is still made by hand in small amounts in Byron Bay.
Ghee is clarified butter. The butter is heated slowly until the milk solids and water separate and are removed, leaving pure golden butterfat. That removes the milk proteins (casein) and lactose, so ghee is naturally lactose-free and casein-free. It also gives ghee a much higher smoke point than butter, about 250°C against butter’s 175°C, so it holds up in high-heat cooking.

- Roasting: toss vegetables in melted ghee before roasting
- Baking: use in place of butter or coconut oil at about 1:1
- Toast and bread: spread at room temperature
- Curries and Indian cooking: the traditional cooking fat for dals, curries and rice
- Eggs: scrambled eggs and omelettes cook richer in ghee
- Popcorn: drizzle over freshly popped corn
Storage
Store at room temperature in the sealed tub. Ghee doesn’t need refrigerating. It will be solid in cooler weather and liquid in warmer weather, and both are normal. Keep the lid closed and use a clean, dry spoon each time. Shelf life is typically 12 months or more.
