The Red Mediterranean (Italian:Rossa Mediterranea or Derivata di Siria) goat breed originates from the central-eastern Mediterranean Basin, originally coming from Syria. It usually has a reddish-brown coat coloration. It has been raised and selectively bred, particularly in the Basilicata and Sicily, for the production of milk for making local varieties of cheese.
Famous quotes containing the word red:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
