ChocZero syrups, chocolates, and other tempting snacks are considered as on a par with the “real thing”, thanks to the magic of monk fruit, the ideal alternative sweetener.

The use of butter goes back millennia and its exalted status in the cooking world and in so many kitchens is undeniable.
Around three thousand years ago, ghee – or clarified butter– was developed in India and is the cooking oil of choice in many regions of the Subcontinent, and, compared to butter, has a higher smoke point, reduced dairy solids, and a more robust, nuanced flavour.
Enter Organic Valley, creators of a certified organic version of this versatile traditional staple.
This month we’re featuring Organic Valley Ghee Clarified Butter.
