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.

More about Ghee

General Questions

What is ghee?

Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originated in South Asia and has been used for centuries in cooking, Ayurveda, and holistic wellness. It is made by slowly simmering butter to remove water and milk solids, leaving behind pure, golden butterfat with a rich, nutty, and slightly caramelized flavour.

How is Gheedy-Up Ghee different from regular ghee?

Gheedy-Up is not just any ghee—it’s the real deal. We use 100% Canadian butter, slow-cooked for a deeply caramelized, rich, and smooth texture. Unlike store-bought ghee that can be pale and bland, Gheedy-Up has a bold, nutty flavour that takes your cooking to the next level. No additives. No preservatives. Just pure ghee, made right.

Is ghee the same as clarified butter?

Not exactly. While both remove milk solids, ghee is cooked longer, allowing the milk solids to caramelize before being strained. This results in a richer, nuttier flavour and gives ghee its deep golden hue. Many store-bought products labeled as "ghee" are actually just anhydrous milk fat, missing the true essence of real ghee.

Where is Gheedy-Up Ghee made?

Gheedy-Up is proudly made in Calgary, Alberta, using 100% Canadian butter. Our ghee is crafted in small batches to ensure premium quality and freshness.

Is ghee made in Canada?

Yes! While ghee originated in South Asia, Gheedy-Up is proudly made in Canada using high-quality, locally sourced Canadian butter. We follow traditional slow-cooking methods, ensuring the authentic taste of homemade Desi ghee but with premium Canadian dairy.

Is Desi ghee available in Canada?

Yes! If you’re looking for real Desi ghee, Gheedy-Up is exactly what you need. Do you remember the ghee your grandmother made—rich, nutty, caramelized, and full of flavour? That’s what Gheedy-Up delivers, but made with 100% Canadian cow butter, no additives, and pure dairy goodness. Perfect for parathas, dal, curries, or even straight from the jar!

Can I buy ghee at the grocery store?

Yes, but not all ghee is created equal. Many store-bought ghees are mass-produced clarified butter, often labeled as anhydrous milk fat, which lacks depth, aroma, and real flavour. Gheedy-Up is different—it’s slow-cooked, deeply caramelized, and made with 100% Canadian butter, giving it a superior taste. Once you try real ghee, you’ll never go back to store-bought.
