What is A2 Ghee? Why It’s Better for Your Health

In the world of traditional Indian nutrition, few foods hold the reverence and value that ghee does. Known as “liquid gold,” ghee has been used for centuries in Indian kitchens, Ayurvedic medicine, and religious rituals. But in today’s modern era, a special type of ghee is making a major comeback — A2 Ghee.

If you’ve heard of A2 ghee but are unsure what makes it different, or if you’re looking for the purest, most authentic ghee for your family’s health, this blog is for you.

🌾 What is A2 Ghee?

A2 ghee is clarified butter made using the milk of desi Indian cows that produce A2 beta-casein protein. These native breeds — like Gir, Sahiwal, Rathi, and Red Sindhi — naturally produce only A2 protein, which is known to be easier to digest, less inflammatory, and closer to what our ancestors consumed.

This differs from A1 milk and ghee, which is made from the milk of hybrid or crossbred cows (like HF or Jersey) and contains A1 beta-casein — a protein that is harder to digest and has been linked to gut issues, inflammation, and even neurological concerns in some studies.

🪔 How is A2 Ghee Made? The Bilona Method

Not all A2 ghee is the same. The Bilona method is the gold standard for making high-quality A2 ghee — and Aayug Organic proudly follows this traditional process.

🏺 Step-by-Step Process:

1. Milk Collection
   Fresh, A2-certified milk is collected from free-grazing Gir cows.

2. Natural Curd Formation
   The milk is boiled and set into curd using a traditional starter (not synthetic cultures).

3. Hand Churning (Bilona)
   The curd is churned using a wooden churner (bilona) to extract white butter.

4. Slow Heating
   The butter is slowly simmered over a low flame until it turns golden and releases a rich aroma.

5. Filtration and Storage
   The ghee is filtered and stored in glass jars to preserve purity and freshness.

This artisanal process ensures that all the nutrients, taste, and medicinal properties of ghee are preserved.
