Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP Vacche Bianca

This is a triple-attitude breed, as in the past it provided considerable help in the fields as well as in the production of milk and meat. It derives from golden-coated cattle, similar to the Reggio Red cow, cross-bred with grey cattle of the Podolic group. Its milk is particularly suitable for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano and for cheese making, thanks to the optimum ratio between fat and protein percentages, and to the high content of K-casein, that favours a fast and more lasting milk curdling. It is a Slow Food presidium.
