Alpine Gray Cattle (or grigio alpina in Italian) are among of the oldest inhabitants of the Alps. Raised in marginal, extreme environments, like high-altitude farms, Theycan adapt perfectly to difficult mountain conditions. Of medium size and weight, this breed has robust limbs and particularly strong hooves. The coat is pale gray, with darker shading. Hardy and frugal, it has an innate instinct for seeking the best forage and will venture up to remote pastures that are inaccessible to other cattle breeds.
Season
Cheese is made from Grigio Alpina milk from June to September. Cold cuts are produced year-round
The number of Alpine Gray Catlle has declined significantly throughout the Alps. Like other native cattle breeds, it has been decimated by the restrictive animal-husbandry policies of the past and the more recent spread of intensive farms, which guarantee high yields but are not in harmony with local area. The Presidium supports the farmers to help them increase the quality of their milk and meat.
