Dairy
Oberhasli
B tier
Oberhasli (Swiss Alpine chamois-coloured) dairy goats produce mild, sweet milk with friendly flavour for people easing into goat dairy. Bay coat with black points is distinctive; dairy performance is solid though generally below top Saanen volumes. Oberhasli milk is pleasant drinking milk and makes delicate fresh cheeses. Smaller dairies and homestead herds appreciate temperament and taste. Chill promptly to preserve the clean sweetness.
