The Gir Cow

The Gir cow (Bos indicus) is one of the principal Zebu breeds originating in India. Native to the Gir hills and forests of Kathiawar in Gujarat, these cows are known for their distinct appearance-prominent foreheads, long pendulous ears, and beautifully curved horns.

Why is Gir Cow Milk Special?

Gir cows naturally produce milk that is rich in the A2 beta-casein protein. Unlike many crossbred dairy cows that produce A1 or A1/A2 mixed milk, native breeds like the Gir have retained their original genetic profile. This makes their milk highly sought after by those who seek the traditional qualities of Indian dairy.

Hardy and Resilient

Bred in a challenging environment, Gir cows are highly resilient to tropical diseases and extreme temperatures. They are known for their calm and affectionate nature. At Namo Narayana, we believe that happy, well-cared-for cows living in a low-stress environment produce the best quality milk.

From Milk to Ghee

We use the pure A2 milk from our Gir cows to produce our signature Bilona ghee. The combination of high-quality Gir cow milk and the ancient Vedic churning process results in ghee that is golden, granular, and deeply aromatic.
