Dairy

Canadienne

C tier

Canadienne cattle are Quebec’s historic French-colonial dairy breed—dark-coated, hardy, and efficient on rough forage. Milk has solid fat and protein for the frame size, with a full, slightly rustic flavour suited to traditional Quebec cheese and household use rather than industrial yield contests. Canadienne milk shines in regional cheeses and small-dairy bottles within Quebec. It cultures well and carries pasture notes. Outside its homeland it is rare; treat any find as heritage dairy with honest, non-commodity character.
