The Truth About the Colour of Your Milk. It’s Not What You Think.

Have you ever wondered what the real colour of milk should be? Is it purer if it is white or if it is more in a yellowish shade? The colour of the milk can tell you a lot about the quality, origin and processing of the milk. In this blog, we will uncover the truth behind the colour of the milk and why farm fresh milk might not look as white as you expect.

Understanding the Natural Colour of Milk

Milk naturally contains proteins, vitamins, fats, etc, and the presence of these substances can influence the colour of the milk. The purest, unprocessed milk straight from the farm can range in shades from creamy white to a pale yellow, especially in A2 buffalo milk.

Kshetra Farm’s A2 Buffalo Milk is known to have higher fat content and rich nutritional profile, which gives it a denser and creamier texture. That creamy milk looks like a slight yellow or ivory tint.

What influences the Milk Colour?

1. Fat content – Kshetra Farm’s A2 Buffalo milk contains about 6 to 8% fat, almost twice as much as regular cow milk. The fat molecules reflect light differently, making the milk appear thicker and creamier. In contrast, low fat milk often looks whiter because the fat is removed.

2. Beta-Carotene Conversion – Unlike cow milk, buffalo converts beta-carotene, which is a natural yellow pigment found in grass, into vitamin A. This gives their milk a whiter appearance than cow milk. However, depending on the diet of the buffalo, you might still see a light tint in pure A2 buffalo milk.

3. Protein – Kshetra Farm’s A2 Buffalo milk has more casein and calcium, which can affect the opacity and visual thickness of milk. That slight yellowish hue might be because of the density caused by these nutrients.

How to identify real A2 Buffalo Milk

• A thin layer of cream usually forms on the top after it is refrigerated. 
• It should have a natural aromatic smell.

FAQs 

1. Is white milk more pure?

Not always. Whiter milk could be toned or processed. Natural buffalo milk may not always be pure white and might have a really slight yellow tint.

2. Does boiling change the colour of the milk?

Boiling may thicken and deepen the colour slightly due to the fat rising, but this is normal.

3. How can I preserve A2 Buffalo Milk in summer?

Keep it refrigerated below 4°C and consume within 1 – 2 days. Boiling it before storage also helps extend freshness.
