Q. Why is Anveshan Desi Cow Ghee costly as compared to other ghee?

A. Anveshan A2 Desi Cow Ghee is made entirely from the milk extracted from desi cows.

This is why our A2 cow ghee has a grainy ure thicker consistency tempting aroma superior flavour and is much healthier. Hence A2 Desi Cow Ghee is costlier and better than regular ghee.
