How do you store Ghee?

[Bobby Bhuna]

Hey guys,

I just bought some butter ghee (the standard one that's gold with the cows on) and wondered how I should store it, as it comes with no storage instructions. I'm not sure if it's a fridge or a cupboard job, although I'm thinking cupboard.

Cheers,

BB.

From what I've read cupboard should be fine. I use the fridge personally, as there seems to be a melting point for ghee that is at the higher end of room temperature. When I go to the indian grocery, in the winter the ghee on the shelves is solid. In summer, its part liquid.

Rather safe than sorry I just use the fridge and spoon out what I need.

I don't buy the plastic jarred ghee anymore. For some reason homemade has a far superior taste and aroma. I use ghee whenever I have it in my pilau, butter chicken and korma.

I also have this one and find it stores best in the fridge, lasts for ages.
