Real, not vague

Himalayan ghee: what it should actually mean

‘Himalayan’ is on a hundred labels and means almost nothing. Real Himalayan ghee has a named village, a named breed and an altitude — here’s the difference.

The short answer

“Himalayan” has become a marketing word — the Himalayas span thousands of kilometres and many countries. A genuine claim names the exact place, the breed, and the altitude. Ours: Maitoli, Uttarakhand, Pahadi Badri cows, ~6,100 ft.

The test

How to judge a ‘Himalayan’ claim

Vague labelReal claim
“Himalayan”Named village + district
“mountain cows”Named breed (Pahadi Badri)
“high altitude”A stated number (~6,100 ft)
“pure”A batch lab report

Specificity is the proof

Anyone can write ‘Himalayan’. Almost no one can show a named village, a named breed and a lab report per batch — that’s the line between a claim and the truth. See the brand checklist.
