The Malagan goat: its characteristics

The native Malagan goat breed is one of the best dairy breeds in the world.

It produces foods of extraordinary quality, such as milk and goat's milk from Malaga. Did you know that the best cheese in the world in 2022 according to the World Cheese Awards is a goat's milk cheese from Malaga?

The excellence of this product is due to extensive management. The basis of animal feeding is grazing. Grazing influences the goat to eat more and different types of grass.

This way of feeding the goat is healthy for the animal and sustainable for the countryside, since it increases biodiversity and reduces the risk of fires. Grazing has been environmentally friendly since ancient times, defines the Malagan territory and contributes to the fixation of the rural population, in addition to producing extraordinarily tasty food.
