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:
“One encounters very capable fathers abashed by their piano-playing daughters. Three measures of Schumann make them red with embarrassment.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
