What is a2 milk?

A2 is the name of a milk protein that was in all dairy herds thousands of years ago. Milk from Jersey cows, Guernsey cows, other animals like sheep, goats and Asian cows naturally contain mostly these A2 beta casein proteins, whereas milk from cows such as Holsteins usually contain mostly the protein variant called A1 beta casein. In the 1970s most Australian dairy herds switched from using Jersey cows to Holsteins.  

The a2 Milk™ used to make Jalna a2 Yoghourt comes from the original breed of cows that naturally produce milk rich in A2 protein. a2 Milk™ contains only A2 protein sourced naturally from selected dairy cows.

Using a simple and non-invasive DNA test that analyses a sample hair from the tail of each dairy cow, those cows which produce a2 milk are then milked separately to produce pure and natural a2 Milk™ used to make Jalna a2 Yoghourt. (All a2 Milk™ in Jalna Yoghourt comes from Australian herds.) Now there’s a choice of Jalna yoghourt to enjoy. The only hard part will be choosing which variety to try first.
