The World’s First Grass-fed, Goat Milk Ghee
What is Goat Milk Ghee?
Mt. Capra’s Award-winning, 100% Goat Milk Ghee starts as fresh goat milk harvested from our own grass-fed, pastured goats on our farm in the Pacific Northwest. The cream from our goat milk is churned into butter and then gently simmered for several hours. During each small-batch simmer, the milk solids, protein, and lactose are removed from the butter leaving behind a pure clarified butter oil.
How should I store my Ghee?
Ghee is completely shelf stable and needs no refrigeration. However everything lasts longer when stored at cool to cold temperatures so you can extend the shelf life of your ghee by storing in the refrigerator. Due to the high content of medium chain fatty acids (MCT’s), goat milk ghee may be semi-liquid at room temperature it will however quickly solidify in the fridge.
Using your Ghee
Use a clean, dry utensil each time you remove ghee from the jar. While clarified butter is shelf stable it will quickly grow mold if bacteria or food particles are introduced into the bottle.
My ghee looks different this time? What’s up?
Ghee is a natural food product and so natural variations from batch to batch should be considered normal. At this time we do not filter the ghee so sometimes small patches of darker brown solids will be seen at the bottom of the jar. This is totally normal.

I bought this to use in the formula recipe for our babies. Wit this ghee it seems to give the milk a richness that our babies go nuts over. I tried the formula with out the ghee and as soon as I added it to they’re milk, they seemed to want even more. They already loved the goats milk, but now they seem to love it even more.

We just started using this ghee around the house and everyone loves it! We use it primarily in the baby’s formula and for making sauces. The ghee adds a creamy rich flavor and as I mentioned before, everyone is a big fan of the taste! We have several dairy-sensitive people in our home who have done well with this ghee.

I use this ghee mostly for medium temperature cooking. It works very well, a little goes a long way.

Mt Capra has done it again! One of the things I missed from my cow dairy days was good ol’ clarified butter aka ghee. It’s superior in health benefits and taste! But, lo, I couldn’t find any goat ghee on the market. Until! The geniuses here at MC whipped some up. It’s perfect for high temperature cooking. New fav!

This goat ghee tastes so much better than cow ghee and coconut oil. I ordered a gallon as it will last a while and the price great.

I bought this ghee to go in the formula we made for my granddaughter. I bought an extra one for me to use in cooking thinking it would taste “disgusting” but worth the health benefits! Boy! was I surprised when I dipped my finger into it and it was DELICIOUS! Buttery, no strong goat milk taste and will make my recipes awesome! Guessing my granddaughter loves the formula as she gobbles it down and gets angry when the bottle is gone! VERY happy with our purchases and will continue to buy.

I have felt so much better about supplementing breastmilk with formula ever since I found the goats milk formula. The ghee gives them the much needed fat that is found in breastmilk.

I am obsessed with this ghee!!! It is outstanding!! It is the only goat ghee on the market that I’m aware of. I only eat goat diary, but love the benefits ghee has to offer, so this product has been perfect!!! It tastes so rich and savory, , and the flavor is insanely good!!! We love to put it on top of our almond pancakes!!! Yum!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Bought this for our homemade formula. WAY better than coconut oil! We had been using coconut oil for months, and am so glad I finally made the switch. It doesn’t harden like coconut oil does (we keep our house pretty cold). It also mixes a lot easier.

We recently purchased this product as part of the formula recipe for our son. My milk supply decreased significantly when I became pregnant but our little guy still wanted his milk! He was a bit hesitant with the first and second bottles but now he just can’t get enough of the goat’s formula! Thank you for giving me something that doesn’t taste horrible and provides the nutrients I can no longer give my son through breast milk!

My daughter loves the ghee in her formula! Amazing quality, one of a kind.

Due to several different reasons we were forced to supplement our newborn daughter from 3 days old. She became very rigid and “board-like” while on regular formula, she start to fuss when we put her knees to her belly and seemed irritable. She was over alert for such a bitty baby and it seemed the only way to get her to sleep in the evening was to let her cry and “burn off” all the extra energy she had. We decided to put her on the goats milk formula starting at 5 weeks old. We ordered the starter kit which includes goat milk Ghee and after just 24 hrs it was as though we were given our newborn back. She is much easier to console, not near as rigid and will even fall asleep in our arms! This may be to much information but one thing that really surprised me is her formula poop looked more formed, dark brown/green and smelled like an adult poop. While on goats milk formula it returned to the typical orange/yellow breast fed baby poop without a strong odor. Clearly the contents of the goats milk formula is very similar to breast milk. Thank you for giving us the ability to really enjoy our newborn!

We were given a sample of ghee during our visit to the Mt. Capra store. After using it for a week, we knew we needed to buy more! It smells very sweet, almost like cotton candy (13 year old’s words) and is a perfect addition to bulletproof coffee. We’ve used it for cooking and baking, as well and it’s a nice alternative to coconut oil, for us.

simply amazing. To be able to purchase a butter not from cow but from something actually compatible with human beings (about 98% compatible) is awesome. That it is organic is beyond awesome and the taste, uuf, cherry on top!

I’m lactose intolerant, and so products containing cows milk have typically caused a lot of digestive upset for me, if not immediately, sometimes up to 12 or 24 hours later. After a lot of research, not only regarding the pros of goat’s milk as an alternative for those who have lactose intolerance, but also after having researched genetic components of said intolerances; goat’s milk seems to be the perfect milk for many folks of European and Asian ancestry (which applies to myself). It appears to me that it has a lot to do with the types of animals these ancestors were utilizing in the past (cows just weren’t an animal that thrived very often on the sides of steep mountains and very cold climates). So, I gave Goat Milk Ghee a try. Verdict: I’ve had zero digestive upset with this product, and it doesn’t matter how much I consume in a day, still no digestive upset. With cow’s milk ghee, there seemed to be a limit as to how much my body could tolerate in a day (i.e. putting it in coffee, and cooking with it). So, while taste and preference are very specific individually, I myself prefer goat’s milk products to cow’s milk all the time now. I’ve also begun to venture out with other Mt. Capra products to see what else I might find that I really like. Additionally, I enjoy the emailed newsletters that I receive; I find them interesting and informative.

Such a high quality product! I just bought it for the first time (I was thrilled to find it because our family does not digest cow dairy well) and am thoroughly satisfied. My 5 year old eats it by the spoonful… and I am happy about that! I know it is a nutritious, wholesome product nourishing his growing self!

It’s so hard to find goats ghee and I love I can get it here. Tastes great and mostly importantly the baby loves the taste added to anything.
