There was a time when the aroma of ghee in the kitchen meant more than just cooking. It meant purity, nourishment, and care. In many Indian homes, a spoon of ghee was the first thing served on hot rotis, dal, or rice. Over time, mass production changed how dairy was sourced and processed. The taste remained, but the depth of nutrition and authenticity often did not.
At Vashishti, the focus is simple. Bring back the traditional strength of A2 milk ghee in its purest form, made the way it was meant to be made.
What Is A2 Milk Ghee
A2 milk ghee is prepared from milk obtained from indigenous cow breeds that naturally produce A2 beta casein protein. Unlike A1 protein found in many crossbred cows, A2 protein is closer to what our ancestors consumed for centuries.
The difference is not about trends. It is about digestion, purity, and traditional compatibility with the human body. When milk from desi cows is cultured into curd, churned into butter, and then slowly simmered into ghee using the bilona method, the result is nutrient rich, aromatic A2 milk ghee.
The Traditional Bilona Process at Vashishti
Many brands claim purity, but the process defines the product. At Vashishti, the focus remains on small batch production using time tested methods.
The journey looks like this
Fresh A2 milk is sourced from indigenous cows
Milk is boiled and set into curd naturally
The curd is churned using the bilona method to extract makkhan
The butter is slowly heated to produce golden ghee
This slow cooking process is not about speed. It is about preserving nutrients like fat soluble vitamins and maintaining the natural aroma.
When you open a jar of Vashishti A2 milk ghee, you notice the grainy texture and rich fragrance. That is a sign of authenticity, not over processing.
Why A2 Milk Ghee Matters in Everyday Life
As someone working closely with traditional dairy sourcing, I often hear a common question. Does it really make a difference
The answer comes from real households. Families who switch to authentic A2 ghee often report better digestion, lighter feeling after meals, and improved taste in simple dishes like dal and khichdi.
Here is why it matters
1. Easier Digestion
A2 protein is generally considered easier on the digestive system for many individuals. Combined with the clarified nature of ghee, it becomes a gentle cooking fat.
2. High Smoke Point
A2 milk ghee is stable at high temperatures, making it ideal for Indian cooking methods like tadka and roasting.
3. Nutrient Rich
Properly prepared ghee contains vitamins A, D, E, and K along with healthy fatty acids.
4. Cultural and Ayurvedic Value
In Ayurveda, ghee is considered a sattvic food that supports overall wellness, mental clarity, and strength.

This approach may take longer, but it delivers a product that feels honest and wholesome.
