What is Native Milk?
Native Milk Stands for pure unadulterated A2 milk from happy desi cows. Native Milk is delicious, nutritious and completely natural A2 cows’ milk that many people find easier to digest. Native Milk has one small but significant difference as compared to different brands. Different cows naturally produce milk with different protein structures. We have our own farm with 94 Gir cows. During the white revolution, India embarked on increasing the capacity of milk production by increasing the proportion of Jersey cows (A1 milk) at the cost of Native breeds (A2 milk). We are trying to create awareness about the right kind of milk to be consumed i.e. A2 milk by this venture.

What is the difference between A1 and A2 Milk?
Beta Casein is about 30% of the total protein content of the milk. Indian Desi Cow contains A2 beta-casein, while HF/Jersey cow milk contains A1 Beta casein. Research suggests A1 milk consumption is linked to several medical issues - Heart disease, immunity loss in children, bone density reduction in women, autism, lactose intolerance etc. A2 milk is easily digestible. It is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants. It boosts immunity and reduces the risk of cancer.

How do I know this is genuinely A2 milk?
We are one of the few brands in India which have got an A2 milk certification from the only A2 certified lab in India. The certificate is uploaded on our website and also we plan to arrange customer visits to our farm post monsoons this year. Visit - https://www.nativemilk.co.in/

How fresh is this milk?
Our milk is as good as having your own Gir cow at home. We chill the milk immediately after milking to avoid any form of bacterial growth and also to maintain freshness and quality. We also marginally pasteurise the milk (not at ultra-high temperature) taking care that the constitution of the milk is preserved. The milk comes straight from the udder of the cow to your doorstep in 12 hours flat.

What is the processing method of this milk- pasteurised or homogenised or raw? What is the shelf life? Do I need to boil the milk?
We ONLY pasteurise the milk at 85 degrees which is equal to kitchen boiling and hence preserves the nutrient profile of the milk. This results in a shelf life of only 2 days and we request you to boil the milk within 2-3 hours from delivery and refrigerate and consume within 2 days.

What is the FAT content of Native Milk?
We don’t take out any FAT and provide full-fat milk. The fat from Gir cows milk is the key ingredient that is so beneficial for health. We are one of the highest FAT content Cow milk in Maharashtra with a label fat of 4.1.

Why your milk is expensive?
A2 milk comes from native breeds which yield around 6-8 litres a day while A1 milk comes from Jersey cows which yield 25-30 litres a day. Hence there is an obvious price difference, add to that the cold chain to get the fresh milk to your place from the udder of the cow. Also given the hugely superior nutrient profile of A2 milk this is priced at par with other similar brands. A2 milk sells at around Rs 120 in pockets of Mumbai, Bangalore yet Native Milk is committed to providing the milk at an affordable price. Just to bring to your notice, we are one of the few brands in India which have got an A2 milk certification from the only A2 certified lab in India.
