In the shadow of the Himalayas, buffalo milk has been a staple in Uttarakhand households for generations. Today, as nutritional awareness grows, A Class’s premium buffalo milk is experiencing renewed appreciation among Dehradun residents.
The Nutritional Edge of Buffalo Milk
Buffalo milk stands apart from cow milk in several significant ways. With approximately 7.5% fat content compared to cow milk’s 3.5%, it delivers a richer taste and creamier texture that many Dehradun families prefer for their morning chai.
Nutritionist Dr. Anita Chauhan from Dehradun’s Wellness Center explains: “Buffalo milk contains about 11.5% more protein, 65% more calcium, and significantly higher levels of iron than cow milk. For growing children and the elderly, these additional nutrients can be particularly beneficial.”
The higher fat content, while concerning to some, actually contains higher levels of the beneficial conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which some studies suggest may help reduce body fat while preserving muscle tissue.

Buffalo Farming at A Class
The tradition of buffalo farming runs deep in the valleys surrounding Dehradun. A Class maintains a herd of carefully selected Murrah buffaloes, continuing practices passed down through generations.
Harish Rana, A Class’s buffalo care specialist, explains their approach: “Our buffaloes are part of our heritage. We raise them on natural fodder, allowing them to graze freely during the day. This traditional approach results in milk with superior taste and nutritional quality.”
Unlike industrial dairy operations, A Class maintains a modest-sized herd, allowing for personalized care and attention to each animal’s health.
The Buffalo Milk Delivery Revolution
Until recently, accessing fresh buffalo milk meant either living near a farm or making early morning trips to local dairy booths. Today, A Class has revolutionized access through their efficient home delivery service.
A Class collects milk from their buffalo herd each morning, performs rigorous quality checks, and delivers it to doorsteps across Dehradun before most families begin their day.
Deepak Sharma, a resident of Rajpur Road, subscribes to A Class: “Having fresh buffalo milk delivered each morning ensures my family gets the authentic taste I remember from childhood visits to my grandparents’ village. The convenience factor is just a bonus.”

Beyond Drinking: Culinary Applications
Buffalo milk’s higher fat content and protein make it ideal for preparing traditional dairy products. In many Dehradun households, it’s the preferred choice for:
Curd (Dahi): Buffalo milk produces thicker, creamier curd with a distinctive tangy flavor that complements both sweet and savory dishes.
Ghee: The traditional ghee made from buffalo milk has a deeper yellow color and more pronounced aroma, making it prized for both cooking and religious ceremonies.
Paneer: The higher protein content results in firmer paneer with better yield, making it economical for family cooking.
Khoya: Essential for traditional sweets, buffalo milk khoya has a richer taste that elevates festive preparations.
Addressing Common Concerns
Despite its benefits, some consumers hesitate to choose buffalo milk due to its higher fat content. However, nutritionists point out that the fat composition differs from cow milk, with potentially different health implications.
For those monitoring fat intake, A Class now offers toned buffalo milk options that reduce fat content while preserving the distinctive taste and higher protein levels.
Another common question concerns adulteration. “Because buffalo milk naturally has higher fat content, it’s unfortunately sometimes targeted for adulteration,” explains food safety officer Rajiv Negi. “A Class’s direct farm-to-home model and regular testing ensure you’re getting pure, unadulterated buffalo milk.”
The Future of Buffalo Milk in Dehradun
As consumer interest in traditional foods grows, A Class’s buffalo milk is finding new audiences beyond those who grew up with it. Young professionals and health-conscious families are increasingly choosing it for its nutritional density and authentic flavor.
This renewed demand is helping preserve traditional buffalo farming in the region, providing sustainable livelihoods for farmers who might otherwise abandon dairy farming for more lucrative occupations.
