You’ve probably seen A2 Gir Cow Ghee on shelves or online and wondered—why is it so expensive compared to regular ghee? Is it worth the price? What makes it different?
The truth is, every drop of A2 Gir Cow Ghee represents a commitment to purity, tradition, and nutrition. Let’s break down the real reasons why A2 Gir Cow Ghee carries a premium price—and why it’s worth every rupee.
1. It Starts with the Cow: Indigenous Gir Breed Only
Not all cows are the same. A2 Gir Cow Ghee comes from purebred Indian Gir cows, known for producing A2 beta-casein protein—a healthier and more digestible form of milk protein.
- These cows are indigenous, non-hybrid and maintained in small-scale, ethical farm groups or cooperative units.
- Their milk yield is significantly lower than commercial foreign breeds.
- They require special care, attention, and a natural, Ayurvedic herb-based diet.
Fewer cows, lower yield, and more care = higher cost.
2. The Traditional Bilona Method Is Labor-Intensive
Unlike commercial ghee made from cream or skimmed milk, A2 Gir Cow Ghee is made using the Bilona method:
- Milk is boiled and naturally set into curd.
- Curd is hand-churned slowly with a wooden churner to extract butter.
- Butter is heated on a low flame (traditionally with cow dung cakes) to make ghee.
This process is time-consuming, manual, and low-yielding—but it preserves nutrients and follows Ayurvedic principles. You’re paying for craftsmanship, not shortcuts.
3. Low Yield = Higher Price
To produce just 1 liter of A2 Gir Cow Ghee, it takes:
- 25–30 liters of milk
- Several hours of slow churning and gentle heating
Compare that with cream-based commercial ghee, which needs much less milk and time. The difference is staggering—and so is the quality.
4. Chemical-Free, No Preservatives
A2 Gir Cow Ghee is 100% natural:
- No synthetic hormones or antibiotics
- No preservatives, colors, or additives
- Packed in glass jars, not plastic, to retain purity and avoid leaching
What you’re paying for is clean nutrition, with zero compromises.
5. Packed with Health Benefits
This is not just about taste — A2 Gir Cow Ghee is an Ayurvedic superfood:
- Easier to digest for lactose-intolerant people
- Supports brain and bone health
- Strengthens immunity and improves digestion
- Natural source of vitamins A, D, E & K, and Omega-3s
It’s not just ghee—it’s functional nutrition for your body.

- Do not exploit cows for maximum yield
