This wonderful Hand Carved Wood Ghee Jar with Lid that comes from the Hunza Tribe that live in the Himalayas. Ghee is a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India and is commonly used in South Asian and Arabic cuisines, traditional medicine, and religious rituals. Ghee is prepared by simmering butter, which is churned from cream, and removing the liquid residue. The texture, color, and taste of ghee depend on the quality of the butter, source of the milk used in the process and the duration of the boiling. The whole purpose of Ghee was to clarify the butter to keep it from spoiling. In Hindu culture, the cow is sacred, and butter is the only animal fat that Hindus will eat. The cow represents the soul, with its obstinate intellect, and unruly emotions, but it is also gentle and generous. The butter gives a sacred offering, fuel for lamps, and so valuable for food. This unique old Ghee Jar comes with a lid and would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.
