Product Information
The a2 Milk® difference
It all starts with the cows. We conduct a simple DNA test on a tissue sample taken from the cows to identify cows that naturally produce milk with only A2-type beta-casein protein and no A1 protein. Every batch is then tested again before it reaches your table, so you can feel confident in what you're drinking.
The result? Milk that may be easier on digestion for some people*, with all the goodness of natural dairy milk.
