<p>Fourth and Heart links the past to the present with food products that are made with ghee, a form of <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/ghee"target="_blank">concentrated butterfat</a> that’s been around for thousands of years. Ghee is great to cook with, full of nutrients, and completely dairy-free.</p>    
<h2>The History of Fourth and Heart</h2>
<p>Fourth and Heart was founded by Raquel Tavares to bring the wonders of ghee into the cooking mainstream. Previous to founding Fourth and Heart, Raquel had been out of the job market while she raised her two young boys with her husband. However, she started to feel restless and wanted to create a business that spoke to her love for healthy, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/"target="_blank">holistic living</a>. Raquel’s homemade flavored ghee had long been a staple in her family’s kitchen, and she quickly realized that it was the product she was looking for.</p>  
<h2>Fourth and Heart Company Mission</h2>
<p>Fourth and Heart strives to bring their customers only the very highest-quality ghee products. They use ghee from cows that are <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/social/grass-fed"target="_blank">grass-fed</a> on cooperative farms in New Zealand. Having grass-fed cows is essential for creating nutrient-rich ghee or butter because grass has naturally high levels of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Once the cows are milked and the butter is made, Fourth and Heart slow cooks it down to remove all of its milk solids and excess water, leaving behind only essential healthy fats and nutrients.</p>  
<h2>Benefits of Benefits of Fourth and Heart</h2>
<p>Whether you’re trying to eat healthily or just want to experiment with a new flavor, Fourth and Heart’s ghee butter is sure to revolutionize your cooking routine, with benefits that include:</p><br><ul>
<li>Long shelf life and high smoke point for easy cooking</li>
<li>Real butter that’s completely free of lactose</li>
<li>High concentrations of healthy fat and additional vitamins</li></ul>
