01
PURE
Verified on every batch
Every batch is tested and issued a Certificate of Analysis (COA) before it is allowed to ship. Every relevant adulteration test came back clean.
Laboratory tests
- Adulteration screeningPass
Anyone can say 'Pure.' We had ours measured.
Ghee is one of the most adulterated foods in India. So, rather than asking you to trust us, we send every batch to an independent laboratory and provide you with the Certificate
of Analysis.

Sage’s Secret quality standard
Adulteration Test
Every jar is held to a rigorous quality standard, with transparent testing designed to protect purity, provenance and trust.
Every-Batch COA — Core Test Panel
Our core panel evaluates identity, freshness and purity across every production batch.
Appearance / Colour / Odour
A sensory check of how the ghee looks and smells. It catches any batch that looks, smells, or feels different from the standard, so quality stays consistent jar to jar.
Moisture (%)
Measures the water content in the ghee. Excess moisture speeds up spoilage and shortens shelf life, so keeping this low protects freshness in storage.
Milk Fat (%)
Measures how much of the product is actual milk fat. This is the core purity number — the higher and cleaner this reading, the less room there is for anything else to be mixed in.
Butyro-Refractometer (BR) at 40°C
A refractive-index reading of the fat. It's a fast way to confirm the fat behaves like genuine milk fat and hasn't been diluted with another fat.
Reichert-Meissl (RM) Value
Measures the short-chain fatty acids that are unique to milk fat. Cow ghee has a distinctly higher RM value than most other fats, making this one of the strongest authenticity checks.
Free Fatty Acids (FFA)
Tracks how much the fat has started to break down. A low FFA reading is a direct measure of freshness and shows the ghee hasn't turned rancid.
Baudouin Test
A screening test that flags certain vegetable oils sometimes used to cut ghee. A clear result rules out this specific, common form of adulteration.
Iodine Value
Measures how saturated or unsaturated the fat is. Genuine milk fat falls in a known, narrow range, so a reading outside it points to a different fat being present.
Saponification Value
Confirms the type and identity of the fatty acids in the sample. It's another checkpoint that the fat matches genuine milk fat and not a substitute.
β-Sitosterol by RP-HPLC
Detects plant-based fat markers that are naturally absent from pure milk fat. Because it can pick up even trace amounts, this is one of the most sensitive tests for vegetable-oil adulteration.
Foreign Fat / Vegetable Fat Adulteration
A dedicated check built specifically to catch blending with cheaper vegetable or animal fats — the most common way ghee is adulterated.
Peroxide Value
Measures early-stage oxidation in the fat. It shows whether the ghee has started to turn rancid, even before that would be noticeable by smell or taste.
Premium / Periodic Verification Test Panel
Heavy Metal Panel
Tests for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. These metals are toxic even in small amounts, so confirming their absence is a core food-safety requirement.
Microbiological Analysis
Checks total plate count, yeast & mould, coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. This confirms the ghee is free from harmful bacteria and safe to consume.
Aflatoxin M1
Tests for a toxin that can pass from contaminated cattle feed into milk. Screening for it verifies that the milk used at the source was safe to begin with.
Nutrition Analysis
Verifies energy, fat, and other nutrition-declaration values in the lab. This confirms that what's printed on the label actually matches what's in the jar.
Fatty Acid Profile
A detailed breakdown of the saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids in the ghee. This builds the full composition profile that supports our authenticity claims.

From Tradition to Trusted Quality
A thoughtful journey behind every SAGE'S SECRET batch.
We begin with milk from Gir Cows, follow the traditional Bilona process, prepare our ghee in small batches, and verify its quality through independent testing.
01
Gir Cow Milk
Carefully sourced milk from Gi r Cows forms the foundation of our process.
02
Bilona Process
The traditional Bilona method is followed with care and craftsmanship.
03
Small Batches
Small-batch preparation allows for careful handling throughout the process.
04
Independent Testing
Independent testing helps verify quality and transparency through approved laboratory processes.
OUR STANDARD
Three things, and the third is the one that matters.
1
THE MILK
Milk from indigenous Gir Cows — a breed that yields far less than many crossbreeds, which is why it's rarely used at commercial scale.
2
THE PROCESS
The Bilona process is slower and more labour-intensive, but it is what gives this ghee its grainy texture and deep golden colour.
3
THE PROOF
Every batch is tested by a NABL-accredited, FSSAI-notified laboratory and issued a Certificate of Analysis (COA). No COA, No dispatch. No exceptions.
4
WHAT WE WILL NEVER DO
Never buffalo milk blended into cow ghee. Never colour, flavour, or preservative added. Never a batch shipped that hasn't cleared the lab test we hold the right to reject one, and we use it.
Why Sage’s Secret?
01
Gir Cow Milk
We begin with traditionally sourced Gir Cow Milk, carefully selected as the foundation of our ghee. This reflects our commitment to time-honoured Indian dairy practices and a thoughtful approach to sourcing.
02
Bilona Process
Our preparation is inspired by the traditional Bilona method, preserving the essence of an age-old craft. Each stage is carried out with patience and care to create a ghee experience rooted in tradition.
03
Batch-wise COA
Every batch comes with its own Certificate of Analysis (COA), providing greater transparency about what you receive. Batch-wise documentation allows customers to access relevant quality information with confidence.
04
Transparent Testing
We support our quality process through independent laboratory testing. This approach provides greater transparency and helps ensure that every batch is evaluated using appropriate testing procedures.

If it doesn’t taste different, don’t keep it.
Open the jar. Smell it. Put a spoon of it on hot rice. If it isn’t noticeably better than what you’re using now, write to us within 3 days and we’ll refund you in full — jar opened, half finished, doesn’t matter.
You’re paying before you taste it, so the risk should sit with us, not with you. We’d rather lose one sale than have you keep a jar you don’t rate.

FAQ
Every batch is lab-tested for purity before it ships — no vanaspati, no palm oil, no synthetic colour, no shortcuts. We're happy to share the test results for your batch on request, and you're welcome to send a sample for independent testing yourself. Adulteration thrives on opacity; we'd rather you check than just trust our word.
Supermarket ghee is usually made from cream separated by machine and produced at scale to hit a low price point. Ours follows the bilona approach — curd-based extraction and slow cooking over low heat — which yields far less ghee per litre of milk and takes considerably longer than commercial methods. You're paying for the process and the quality of milk, not a brand markup.
Bilona refers to the age-old approach of making ghee from curd rather than direct cream — curd is churned to extract butter, which is then slow-cooked into ghee. We follow this method in spirit: prioritising curd-based extraction and slow, low-heat cooking over the fast, high-yield processes used in commercial production. The result is a ghee with the characteristic texture and aroma associated with bilona ghee, made with far more care than mass-market alternatives.
No — graininess is actually a sign of purity. Pure ghee crystallizes at cooler temperatures because it has no additives to stop that from happening, much like honey does. Warm the jar slightly (a warm-water bath or a few minutes of sunlight) and it will return to a smooth, liquid consistency.
We test every production batch, not just an occasional sample, and each jar carries a batch number that ties back to that test. Batch-wise COA (Certificate of Analysis) is available on our website. Simply look up your batch number to view the results.

No. Ghee is shelf-stable at room temperature for months because the moisture and milk solids are cooked out of it during preparation. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always use a dry spoon to keep moisture out.
We accept UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking, and other standard payment methods at checkout.
Orders typically arrive within 3–7 business days depending on your location.
If your jar arrives damaged, something isn't right, or you simply don't like the taste, reach out to us within 3 days of delivery for a replacement or refund — even if the pack has been opened. *T&C apply.
