“A2 Cow Ghee” refers to clarified butter made from milk that contains only the A2 variant of the beta-casein protein, unlike common milk, which often has the A1 variant (or a mix of both).
The term “A2” traces to specific breeds of cows, often indigenous Indian desi cows, whose milk naturally carries the A2 β-casein. When this pure milk is processed via time-honored methods (churning curdled cream into butter, then slow-heating to separate milk solids), the result is A2 ghee: rich, aromatic, golden clarified butter.
At GowDurbar, we use milk from indigenous desi cows, processed to preserve its natural goodness; that’s the A2 Cow Ghee we offer.
Why A2 Ghee Is Gaining Popularity
As awareness around traditional foods grows, many families are shifting to A2 milk and ghee, believing them to be gentler to digest and more natural. Some studies suggest A2 milk may be easier on digestion than conventional milk containing A1 proteins.
Moreover, A2 ghee is often promoted as richer in fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K nutrients that support general wellness when incorporated wisely into a diet.
While scientific research continues, the traditional value and culinary versatility of A2 ghee make it a preferred choice for many households.
