What is Organic Clarified Butter?

Organic clarified butter, also known as ghee, is butter that has had its water and milk solids removed. This process involves slowly heating butter and skimming off the foam that rises to the top, then carefully pouring off the clear liquid fat, leaving the milk solids behind. The result is a pure butterfat with a higher smoke point and longer shelf life than regular butter.
