Even old songs from the valley talk about it. For generations, families here made butter, ghee and curd from yak milk and carried them all the way to Leh or Kargil to trade for barley, salt and other basic needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYaks graze on wild mountain grass high in the valley through the short summer. Their milk is thick and rich, and the butter made from it gives a ghee with a deep golden colour and a strong, nutty smell that you will not find in regular ghee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday this old trade has almost stopped, and fewer families keep yaks. Every jar of this ghee gives herder families a reason to keep their yaks and their way of life going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Science Says About Yak Milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRicher Milk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Research shows yak milk has about 5.5 to 7.5% fat, compared to about 3.5% in regular cow milk.

We do it differently. We make the ghee right in front of the families who make the yak butter in Akshu village. From the butter, to the heating, to filling the jar, everything happens there with the families watching and being part of it. Nothing is hidden and nothing is changed later. Through Siachen Naturals, every jar supports yak herding families in Zangskar and helps keep an old Ladakhi tradition alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild from Ladakh.
