    Adding value to milk: the A2A2 case

    A2A2 milk is characterized by the presence of A2A2 Beta Casein, unlike the commonly available milk which mainly contains the A1A1 Beta Casein. Beta Casein A2A2 was originally present in bovine milk but over time, due to the genetic selection that occurred in dairy cattle, it was replaced by A1A1 variant. In the last few years, production and marketing lines of A2A2 milk have been created in several countries, valorizing this niche product.
