Butter Made Better

The difference between ghee and butter

The Gheedy-Up Difference

Ghee that you can eat straight from the jar!

At Gheedy-Up, we bring the rich, time-honoured tradition of ghee-making straight to your kitchen, offering the authentic taste of this ancient South Asian staple. Our caramelized ghee, made in Alberta, Canada, delivers a deeper, more flavourful experience than store-bought ghee. Using 100% Canadian butter, we carefully simmer the butter until the milk solids caramelize, creating a golden, nutty delicacy with a distinct, unsweetened toffee-like taste inspired by the traditional Nolen ghee of Bengal, a sought-after winter treat.

Ghee has been cherished for centuries for both its culinary and cultural importance. Unlike regular clarified butter, our caramelized ghee undergoes a slow, careful cooking process to unlock complex, bold flavours that elevate any dish. It’s ideal for sautéing, baking, frying, spreading, or simply drizzling over your favourite foods for an indulgent finish.

Authentic Ghee

What sets Gheedy-Up apart is our unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. We celebrate the purity of local Canadian ingredients while honouring the deep-rooted heritage of ghee-making traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned ghee lover or trying it for the first time, Gheedy-Up’s authentic caramelized ghee promises to bring warmth, flavour, and a touch of tradition to your meals.

Discover the nutty richness and versatility of Gheedy-Up—perfect for healthy cooking, flavourful spreads, or adding an extra layer of indulgence to everyday recipes.
