Bretonne Pie Noir

C tier

Bretonne Pie Noir is Brittany’s small black-pied heritage dairy cow, once the backbone of Breton farm milk, butter, and faraway trade. Milk is sweet and pleasant with moderate fat—suited to farmhouse butter and local fresh cheeses more than industrial yield. Revival herds in Brittany bottle Pie Noir milk and make artisan butter. Expect gentle, non-industrial flavour and limited supply. Excellent for drinkers who want breed-specific French heritage dairy.
