Emmental cow

An Emmental cow is a dairy breed originating from Switzerland, known for producing milk used to make Emmental cheese. These cows are large, usually with a reddish-bawn or light brown coat and distinctive white markings. They are robust, social animals that thrive in pasture-based systems, providing high-quality milk rich in fat and protein. Emmental cows are valued both for their hardiness and their contribution to traditional cheese production. Their milk's unique composition helps develop the characteristic holes and flavor of Emmental cheese. They play an important role in sustainable dairy farming and regional agriculture.
