Know your milk
What makes milk “A2”?
Cow's milk carries a protein called beta-casein, which comes in two common forms, A1 and A2. Which one a cow gives depends on her breed.
Native Indian breeds such as Gir and Sahiwal naturally give milk with A2 beta-casein, the milk Indian homes drank for generations. Many crossbred and exotic dairy breeds give A1, or a mix of both.
Hamba milk comes from desi cows only. Nothing is blended in, and nothing is taken out except what the calf needs first.

The bilona method
Ghee that takes its time
Most ghee is boiled out of cream. Ours starts as curd, the way it has been made in Indian kitchens for centuries. It is slower, needs far more milk and can't be rushed. You can taste the difference.
~25–30 L of A2 milk go into every kilo of Hamba bilona ghee

Cultured overnight into thick, fresh dahi.
- 03
Hand-churned

Slow-heated

Filtered & filled
Strained and filled warm into jars, grainy and fragrant.
Why glass?
Glass doesn't hold on to smells or flavours, so the milk tastes just like milk. It keeps cold longer, and every bottle comes back to be cleaned, sterilised and refilled. That means fewer plastic pouches in Kolkata's landfills, and fresher milk on your table.
Rinse the empty bottle and keep it out. We collect it with your next delivery.
हंबा
Why “Hamba”?
Hambaa is the call of a desi cow, the soft low sound every child who grew up near a gaushala knows. We named our dairy after it because everything we make begins with her: how she is fed, how she is treated, and how calm she is when she's milked.

What do I do with the empty glass bottle?
Rinse it and keep it out for your next delivery. We collect empties, then clean, sterilise and refill them, so one bottle keeps going round instead of a plastic pouch ending up in the bin.
What is bilona ghee and how is it different?
Bilona ghee is made from curd, not cream. Whole milk is set into curd and churned with a wooden bilona to separate the makkhan (white butter), which is then slowly heated into ghee. It takes far more milk than ordinary ghee and gives a grainy texture and a deep, nutty aroma.
