Desi / Indigenous cows are those breed of cows who are originally from Indian roots. Every region has a specific cow eg: the Khillar cow of Maharashtra, Hallikar cow of Karnataka, Gir cow from Gujarat, Sahiwal cow of Sindh, Rathi cow of Rajasthan etc. These cows are habituated to these regions and are immune to the climate of such regions.

Our farmer has Khillar, Rathi, Gir, Kankrej and Dangi cows.  Some are in milking stage and some are in their resting stage. In milking cows, milk is first had by the calf and then milk is collected by the farmer. Non-milking cows are taken care of by the farmer till their natural death.

The milk is collected from these cows at a specific time of the day and boiled. This milk is then set to make curd using the remaining curd of the earlier day (curd starter). The curd is then churned using bilona (wooden churner) in clockwise and anti clockwise direction. Slowly, the butter separates from the rest of the liquid curd /buttermilk.

This butter is collected and Himalayan pink salt is added in a proportion which gives us the Salted A2 desi cow butter. Nothing else is added and the taste and feel of butter post having it is a test of its purity. Store in deep refrigerator and see it stay well for almost 3 months.
