Baladi buffalo ghee (samna) — 1 kg
520 EGP / kg
Baladi ghee made from buffalo milk: rich, with the strong, unmistakable aroma that separates home cooking from everything else. Firm when cold, it melts quickly over heat and is creamy white in colour. Buffalo samna is the traditional choice for dishes that need that aroma to carry — tagines, rice, fatta, molokhia, and festival baking such as kahk and petit fours. A spoonful at the end of cooking changes the whole dish; it is also used for frying onion and finishing sauces. Keep it in a sealed jar in a dry place away from sun and heat, or refrigerated in hot weather, when it will set harder. Cow ghee is the milder alternative; a 500 g tub is also available.
