Ghee has long been revered in Indian households—not just as a cooking fat but as a symbol of nourishment, purity, and tradition. From its role in religious rituals to its place in Ayurvedic medicine, ghee remains an integral part of Indian culture.
However, with the rise of mass production and commercialisation, the market is now flooded with regular ghee made using modern, industrial methods. In contrast, A2 ghee, prepared traditionally using hand-churned techniques, stands as the true custodian of authenticity and nutrition.
So, what really sets Aazol’s Pure Gharwala Ghee apart from commercially produced alternatives? Let’s explore the key differences between A2 ghee and regular ghee to understand why tradition always wins.
1. The Source of Milk: A2 vs. A1
The quality of ghee starts with the quality of milk. Most regular ghee available in the market is produced from crossbred cows or buffalo milk, which contains a mix of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins.
On the other hand, Aazol’s Pure Gharwala Ghee is made exclusively from A2 milk sourced from indigenous Indian Gir cows. The difference between A1 and A2 milk is significant:
- A2 milk contains only the A2 beta-casein protein, which is easier to digest and has anti-inflammatory properties.
- A1 milk contains A1 beta-casein, which releases beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7), a compound linked to digestive issues and inflammation in some individuals.
This is why A2 ghee is often recommended for better digestion, improved immunity, and overall well-being.
2. The Traditional Bilona Method vs. Industrial Processing
The method used to make ghee directly affects its purity, nutrition, and flavour.
Aazol’s A2 Ghee – Handmade with Love
- Traditional Bilona Method – The milk is first turned into curd, then hand-churned using a wooden bilona to extract butter, which is then slow-cooked to make ghee.
- Slow-Cooked for Maximum Nutrition – The low-heat process ensures that essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants remain intact.
- Grainy (‘Danedaar’) Texture – The natural formation of granules indicates superior quality and purity.
Regular Ghee – Fast, Factory-Made
- Direct Cream Processing – Most regular ghee is made by boiling cream or malai, skipping the curd-churning process that enhances digestion.
- Heat-Treated at High Temperatures – To speed up production, commercial ghee is often subjected to high heat, which reduces its nutritional value.
- Lacks the Signature Texture – Factory-processed ghee is often smooth and uniform rather than naturally grainy.
This is why hand-churned A2 ghee retains more nutrition and offers a richer, more aromatic taste compared to mass-produced ghee.
3. Purity and Nutritional Value
When it comes to health benefits, A2 ghee outshines regular ghee in every way.
| Feature | A2 Ghee (Aazol’s Ghee) | Regular Ghee |
|---|---|---|
| Rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6 | Supports heart health & reduces inflammation | Lower in good fats due to high-heat processing |
| Contains Butyric Acid | Aids digestion & promotes gut health | Minimal butyric acid due to industrial processing |
| Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, K) | Naturally retained, boosts immunity & skin health | Often lost due to excessive heat treatment |
| Lactose-Free & Casein-Free | Suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals | May contain traces of lactose, causing discomfort |
| Antioxidant Properties | Supports immunity & overall well-being | Lacks natural antioxidants due to mass production |
With its natural, nutrient-rich profile, A2 ghee nourishes the body from within, while commercial ghee often loses many of these benefits due to mass production.
4. Digestive & Ayurvedic Benefits
Ayurveda considers ghee a ‘sattvic’ food, meaning it promotes balance, clarity, and good health. However, only traditionally prepared A2 ghee retains these qualities.
A2 Ghee (Aazol’s Ghee) – The Ayurvedic Superfood
- Rich in Butyric Acid – Helps improve digestion and reduce gut inflammation.
- Balances Doshas – Particularly beneficial for Vata and Pitta body types.
- Boosts Immunity – Contains antioxidants that protect the body from infections.
Regular Ghee – Lacks Ayurvedic Benefits
- Due to high heat processing and lack of fermentation (curd formation), it loses butyric acid and probiotic benefits.
- May contain synthetic additives or preservatives to extend shelf life.
This makes A2 ghee a much better choice for gut health, digestion, and overall well-being.
5. Aroma, Taste, and Texture
The difference between A2 ghee and regular ghee is immediately noticeable when you open the jar.
Aazol’s A2 Ghee has a rich, nutty aroma and a golden hue, with a signature grainy texture (‘danedaar’), which is a sign of high-quality ghee. The slow-cooking process enhances its natural sweetness, making it perfect for drizzling over rice, rotis, or even in desserts.
Regular ghee, on the other hand, often has a milder aroma and a uniform, smooth consistency, which lacks the depth of flavour found in traditionally prepared ghee.
6. Why A2 Ghee Costs More—And Why It’s Worth It
Some consumers wonder why A2 ghee is more expensive than regular ghee. The answer lies in its pure ingredients, time-intensive process, and superior health benefits.
- A2 milk from indigenous cows is limited in supply, making it more expensive than regular dairy.
- Hand-churning is labour-intensive, requiring patience and skill.
- No preservatives, chemicals, or artificial processing ensures a purer, healthier product.
When you buy Aazol’s Pure Gharwala Ghee, you’re not just buying a cooking ingredient—you’re investing in your health, tradition, and superior taste.
Conclusion: Tradition Always Wins
While regular ghee may seem more accessible, A2 ghee, made using the Bilona method, is the true winner in terms of purity, nutrition, and taste.
By choosing Aazol’s Pure Gharwala Ghee, you are:
- Supporting a centuries-old traditional process
- Consuming pure, high-quality A2 milk ghee
- Nourishing your body with essential vitamins and good fats
- Enjoying a rich, authentic taste that reminds you of home
In the debate of A2 ghee vs. regular ghee, the verdict is clear—tradition always wins.
