Cheese and dairy

Europe’s rich pastures provide healthy feed for cows, goats, sheep and buffalo because healthy and well-fed herds produce better quality milk. The variety of landscapes and climates, the diverse traditions and know-how produce a wide variety of products and tastes.

EU milk is full of taste and is produced following safety standards that keep it free of contaminants. For example, when fresh milk is collected after the milking, the transporters make sure that it is cooled to no more than 6°C and kept at this temperature until it is processed, to preserve its freshness and safety. Each batch of milk is also logged, so it is traceable back to its origins.

Much of the milk is consumed fresh, with lower or higher fat levels, depending on the taste of the consumer. Milk produced in Europe is also processed into dairy products, including yoghurts, butter and cheeses.

The quality of European dairy products is directly attributable to the expertise of farmers and producers, often passed on from generation to generation and from the safety regulations in place, and the innovative manufacturing technology.
