About Pahadi Aura
Who is behind Pahadi Aura?
We are an emerging FMCG brand from the Himalayas (Shimla), dedicated to bringing you authentic, pure, and ethically sourced mountain products.
Are your products really handmade?
Yes, absolutely. We don’t use factories. Everything is handcrafted in small batches using traditional village methods to keep the nutrition intact.
Where do you source your ingredients?
Straight from the pristine hills of Himachal Pradesh. We work directly with local farmers who treat their land and animals with love.
Is it just about Ghee?
Ghee is our hero, but we offer a range of Himalayan pantry staples, all made with the same focus on purity.
A2 Pahadi Cow Ghee
What does A2 Ghee actually mean?
Think of it as the "original" milk protein. A2 is a specific type of protein found in the milk of indigenous Indian cows. Unlike the A1 protein found in many hybrid breeds, A2 is known to be easier on the stomach, easier to digest, and free from the bloating some people feel with regular dairy.
Is this authentic A2 Ghee?
100%. Our ghee is made from the milk of free-grazing indigenous Pahadi cows and is lab-tested (NABL certified) to ensure it's pure A2.
How is your ghee made?
We use the ancientBilonamethod. We hand-churn curd to extract butter and then slow-cook it over firewood. No shortcuts, no cream-melting machines.
Why does the texture/color change sometimes?
That’s actually a good sign of purity! Since we don’t use artificial stabilizers, the texture varies with the season and the cows' natural diet.
Is it packed in glass or plastic?
Always glass. We hand-pack our ghee in glass jars to preserve its aroma, safety, and authentic taste.
Why is this ghee expensive compared to others?
Authenticity yields less. It takes roughly 25 litres of A2 milk to produce just 1 litre of our Pahadi ghee. Mass-market brands use cream (malai) which is cheaper but lacks nutrients. We sell pure health, not just fat.
Shipping
Do I have to pay for shipping?
Shipping is completely free on all prepaid orders above ₹999. For smaller orders, a standard fee is calculated at checkout.
How long will delivery take?
We usually dispatch within 1-2 days. Depending on where you live, it should reach your kitchen in about 3-7 days.
How can I track my order?
Once your package leaves our hills, you’ll receive real-time tracking links via WhatsApp and email from our courier partner to follow its journey.
Should I get insurance added?
Yes, we recommend adding insurance for extra peace of mind. It protects your order against loss, damage, or theft during transit — especially for high-value or international shipments.

What if my glass jar breaks?
