I've heard the term "ghee" but don't know what it is. Butter oil? What does that mean? How is it different than butter?

The milk solids are removed (centrifuge??) so it's just the pure butterfat. Looks oily and almost translucent compared to standard butter. Doesn't scorch when you cook with it. Otherwise, it smells and tastes just like butter.

'Ghee' is clarified butter (major ingredient in Indian cooking): http://www.ayurbalance.com/explore_foodghee.htm

I'm wondering if they do this to keep it from going bad as fast in the subtropics.
