4th & Heart Grassfed Ghee

4th & Heart grass-fed ghee uses the highest quality grass-fed butter, sourced from a cooperative of farms in New Zealand. Grass is naturally high in Vitamins A, D, E, K and CLA. What’s different about 4th & Heart ghee? Well, we cook it slowly and use fresh ingredients to create flavor profiles that make cooking much more fun and versatile.

Certified Products:

Original Ghee

Fourth & Heart ghee is made from the milk of grass-fed, pasture raised New Zealand cows. Why did we have to go so far from home? We find the best quality to be in the place where the greenest grass grows and that’s in New Zealand.

Himalayan Pink Salt Ghee

All of our Himalayan Salt Pink Salt is food grade, all-natural, organic compliant, and Kosher certified.

Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ghee

Our Madagascar Vanilla Bean uses sun-dried beans that are 100% Organic Fair Trade Certified. Makes the perfect additive free, binder free, lactose free creamer for your coffee! Just whisk in a hot cup and enjoy!

California Garlic Ghee

Our California Garlic is sourced from Northern California, all natural, pure garlic.

Turmeric Ghee

Our Turmeric Ghee has a sweet and subtle flavor profile with notes of nut, honeysuckle, and honey, and it adds a warmth to any dish. And no, you don’t need to add black pepper, the ghee does the trick! It’s made with pure turmeric and cooked slowly into grass-fed New Zealand butter. Turmeric is known for aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and increasing alkalinity and circulation in the body.

High Heat Hybrid Sprayable Ghee

With our sprayable and pourable grass-fed ghee oils, we set out to make cooking with the great taste and outstanding benefits of ghee even easier. Our high-heat ghee oils combine the great taste of ghee with the high smoke point of grapeseed oil, making them ideal for everything from sautéing and baking to frying and scrambling. Our high-heat ghee oils add the benefits of coconut and avocado oils to the already superior nutrition of ghee.

Available in Original, Garlic, and Truffle.

High Heat Hybrid Pourable Ghee

Our ghee oil is a (60/40 butter oil/grapeseed) hybrid of a slow cooked butter oil and grapes. The slow cooking of the oil allows us to preserve the vitamins found in butter that burns off in high-temperature cooking. Use to saute, bake, scramble, or fry, in salad dressings or even blended in your hot coffee. Excellent for high-temperature cooking.

Available in Original, Garlic, and Truffle.

Chocti

“Chocti” comes from the Sanskrit word shakti, meaning change and empowerment. Chocti honors those roots by empowering choice and facilitating change by offering a healthier alternative to ordinary, everyday chocolate spreads. Carefully crafted from cacao, dates, and our Madagascar vanilla bean ghee, it’s a delicious, nutritious way to upgrade your pantry and brighten your day.

Available in Original, Passionfruit, and Coffee Guaraná.

Woke Bars

Woke is a heavenly dark chocolate paleo protein bar, made entirely of clean ingredients. Powered by our unbeatable non-GMO blend of grass-fed ghee, collagen, and whole egg source protein—Woke is packed with energy-rich, nutritious power that will supercharge your day while keeping you happy between meals and conscious with every bite.

4th & Heart Story

Fourth & Heart is an artisanal food brand based in Los Angeles, CA, set on a mission to modernize ancient pantry food staples starting with a line of grass-fed flavored pure spreadable butters known as "ghee". Fourth & Heart is an ode to the Heart Chakra. It’s the intersection where most of us get stuck. We think through everything and we rarely feel our way through it. Our intellect gets in the way. I find the most lasting decisions are heart choices and not hard choices.

Fourth & Heart hopes to inspire others through the passion we put into our product and to inspire “heart” decisions, not hard decisions. We move forward with bold intention, and with your hearts and our hearts in mind. We want what we put into our product to move you, motivate you, inspire you.

WHAT IS GHEE?

Answer: Ghee is butter, but better. It’s a type of clarified butter that is heated and reduced. During this process, milk solids will both float to the top and sink to the bottom. The milk solids are then triple-filtered out, and what you’re left with is the pure healthy fat, which is lactose free & dairy free, as well as good for digestion and metabolism. Since our ghee is made from 100% grass-fed butter, it has a wonderful yellow color and is high in vitamins A, D & E. Our ghee is 0% Dairy. It has been tested and is one part per million dairy. (But, if people say they are allergic, do not force them to try it.)

WHY SHOULD I USE IT?

Answer: Ghee is much better for you than butter. It’s similar in health benefits to coconut oil or olive oil, but it’s better for cooking because of its high smoke point (450-485 degrees for ghee vs. 280 degrees for olive oil). When other oils smoke, they become trans fats! And, you don’t have to refrigerate ghee! It’s always a spreadable consistency.

WHAT SHOULD I USE IT FOR?

Answer: Any time you use butter, olive oil, coconut oil, etc., use ghee! Ghee is a 1:1 substitute. Its spreadable texture makes it easy for baking and it takes great on toast. Explore all of our delicious ghee flavors with your favorite foods: Green chili – chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables Vanilla – bulletproof coffee, oatmeal, pancakes, sweet potatoes, cookies Pink Salt – you don’t need to add salt after using it in a dish (corn, grilled cheese, anything really)

WHY ARE YOU BETTER THAN OTHER BRANDS?

Answer: Fourth & Heart ghee is 100% grass-fed, which is more prized than organic because it is more humane and has even more health benefits – higher levels of CLA, better Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acid ratio, and more vitamins A and E. We also offer a variety of flavors flavors to please different palettes and cooking inspirations.

ARE YOU ORGANIC?

Answer: We are 100% grass fed. Our butter comes from New Zealand, which has very stringent dairy regulations and produces the highest quality butter. We searched long and hard for only the best butter to use in our ghee.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Answer: If you keep the jar clean (don’t use dirty spoons, crumbs, etc.) it should last indefinitely. However, we generally recommend 6-9 months. And no need to refrigerate it.

HOW MUCH IS IT?

Answer: Prices varies by location, so please inquire at your local store. One jar lasts a long time, as you usually use a teaspoon at a time.

ISN’T GHEE JUST CLARIFIED BUTTER?

Answer: Clarified butter is made simply by heating butter and removing the milk solids which have risen to the top of the pot. In the making of traditional ghee, butter is brought to a boil and cooked until all the moisture is boiled off, and all the milk solids (lactose and casein) have settled to the bottom. These milks solids which have settled on the bottom of the pot are intentionally burned or caramelized, developing nutty flavor to the ghee. Ghee is the pure extraction of oil from butter.

OTHER FUN FACTS

Answer: We are a new product, made in small batches in downtown L.A. We donate part of our income to yoga gives back, which gives micro loans to women in India so that their daughters can stay in school. Because it’s dairy free, 4th & Heart ghee is a great part of the Paleo diet and is also perfect for people who are lactose intolerant.

About Us :

Established in 2010, The Paleo Foundation was first organized for the purpose of improving the tolerability of the paleo diet, and to help adherents easily identify products that met its basic tenets. Since then, thousands of products have been certified through the Certified Paleo, Keto Certified, and lab -tested Grain-Free Gluten-Free certification programs.

Disclosures:

100% of Paleo Foundation revenue is generated through certifications. We do not accept donations, corporate sponsorships, or financially benefit from the sales of any certified products, product giveaways, or partnerships with industry contacts or retailers for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of an impartial certification standard.

Certified Paleo:

Each certification program has a different set of standards. Certified Paleo is the Paleo Foundation’s first, most popular, and highest level of certification for Paleo-compliant products. Certified Paleo Products are products that contain Paleo ingredients, but may have some 21st-century processing or packaging methods allowing for shelf stability.

Grain-Free Gluten-Free:

Grain Free Gluten Free Certified products are gluten-free and do not contain any grains of gliadin competitive residues. All Grain-Free Gluten-Free products have undergone two rounds of audits, including lab tests, and a final review to become approved for the Grain-free Gluten-free Certified Program.

Keto Certified:

The ketogenic diet is a restrictive, demanding diet that can be difficult to maintain, and tolerability of the ketogenic diet is the single most important factor limiting individual acceptance for initiation. Therefore, improving the tolerability of the ketogenic diet is crucial to preventing diet discontinuation, warranting further investigation into methods for improving palatability, improving the availability and convenience of foods that are compliant with the ketogenic diet, as well as addressing cultural and social acceptance.

The Keto Diet product market may be in a unique position to improve tolerability, especially in social and cultural environments that typically feature carbohydrate-rich “special occasion” types of foods. In 2016, the Paleo Foundation launched the world's first Keto Certified program for products with standards that were developed for adherence to a classical ketogenic diet.
