Ghee is an extremely versatile superfood.

Yes, Ghee is considered as dairy as it comes from butter and milk. However, you will find that Ghee is much easier to digest as the Caesin (Milk proteins) and Lactose (Milk Sugars) are removed during the Clarification process.

If you have a much more severe dairy allergy, however, please consult a medical professional before consuming.

We reccomend you refrigirate your Ghee after opening as it will last significantly longer. However, there is no issue if you unrefrigereate either. Just ensure you are using a clean utensils everytime you use the product. The Shelf life, once opened, is 1 year if refrigerated or 3 months if unrefrigerated.
