Rossa Reggiana Cow

Rossa Reggiana Cow

Territorial identity

A historic breed linked to the origin of Parmigiano Reggiano, supported by a constant effort of preservation.

The Rossa Reggiana holds a distinctive place within the world of Parmigiano Reggiano. It is a native breed closely connected to the origin of this cheese, recognised for a path that combines tradition, zootechnical recovery and a strong territorial bond.

Its milk stands out for a composition that is particularly valuable for cheesemaking: it offers excellent coagulation properties, high yield and a behaviour that favours long ageing, with deeper development and a structure especially suited to extended maturation.

Linked to this breed are ANABoRaRe, which oversees its conservation and promotion, and the Consorzio Vacche Rosse, focused on giving continuity to the Parmigiano Reggiano supply chain produced with Reggiana milk.
