- (A1/A1), (A1/A2), (A2/A2), (A2/B) or (A1/B) - The type of Beta-Casein in milk. One type isn't necessarily better than another, though those with asthma or allergies may notice a difference. Most grocery store milk is A1/A1 from Holstein cows. We're developing our herd to contain the A2/A2 proteins because we have a family history of asthma and allergies. You can learn more at TheA2MilkCompany.com.
