A characteristic feature of these animals is their low, narrow loins due to their bone and muscle constitution.
They are animals with a medium-low flavour intensity with outstanding qualities such as texture and juiciness due to their high levels of intramuscular fat. This breed stands out for its high milk and meat production and its good adaptability. These characteristics have led to its adoption in livestock farming in many countries. It is the dominant breed in industrial dairy farming worldwide and is found in more than 160 countries. Holstein milk contains more protein than any other breed of cow, making it an ideal choice for cheese production.
