What Is Sahiwal Cow Ghee?
Sahiwal cows, native to Pakistan and northern India, are known for their reddish-brown coats, docile nature, and high-quality milk. This pure, grass-fed milk is rich in nutrients—especially when processed into ghee, a clarified butter prized in traditional Indian kitchens.
At Sarvadhenu, our Sahiwal cows graze freely, producing A2 milk—a variant with high digestibility and low allergenic risk. The result? Sahiwal Cow Ghee that is aromatic, rich in goodness, and tailored for foodies, Ayurveda followers, and purity-conscious consumers.
- High in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K
- Stable heat-resistant fats perfect for cooking
- Beloved in Ayurvedic practices for promoting digestion and vitality
Why Choose A2 Desi Cow Ghee?
1. A2 Protein Advantage
Most commercial dairy contains A1 protein, linked to digestive and inflammatory issues for some. Sahiwal cows produce A2 beta-casein without forming BCM-7, a peptide cited in inflammation research.
2. Authentic, Herbal, and Pure
Minimal processing and no additives mean true purity—just golden ghee, the way it should be.
3. Compatible with Ayurvedic Traditions
Ayurveda recognizes Sahiwal cow ghee for enhancing ojas—the vital essence—boosting immunity, and balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).

Scientific Insights & Real-World Examples
1. Digestive & Gut Health
Ghee contains butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid feeding beneficial gut bacteria and enhancing colon cell health.
2. Joint & Skin Nourishment
Influential in Ayurvedic texts for lubricating joints and reducing inflammation, Sahiwal ghee is part of herbal remedies like Chyawanprash and Majun.
3. Cooking & Flavor Magic
High smoke point (~250°C) makes it perfect for deep-frying or sautéing. Its earthy, caramel-like flavor elevates dal, sabzi, paratha, and even popcorn.
