Milk is made up of 2 proteins known as beta-caseins. Most cows’ milk on the market today is A1 beta casein, meaning it comes predominantly from cows making “A1/A1” or “A1/A2” milk. When a cow’s milk is “A2/A2”, she is producing a milk that has been proven to be easier digestible by humans and the most comparable milk to human breast milk. A2 milk also has significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which are a natural energy source found in foods we eat that are especially beneficial to your heart, lungs and immune system.

Mapleline’s Jerseys produce A2 milk!!! How do we know? The breed of Jersey cows are special in that they predominantly produce A2 milk. To further assure Mapleline’s milk is A2, we genetically test our herd to make sure they are an A2/A2 producing cow. We also selectively breed our cows to bulls who are also genetically verified to carry the gene to produce A2/A2 milk.
