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:
“Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white,
For all those rosy ornaments in thee.
Thou art not sweet, though made of mere delight”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
