Icelandic cows are a unique breed with a long history, known for producing A2 milk, which some people find easier to digest. It’s fascinating that all the milk in Iceland comes from this single heritage breed, preserved for over 1,000 years. Unlike the common Holstein cows, Icelandic cows thrive in their local environment with minimal help, and their milk is still healthy and pure. Unfortunately, this special milk isn’t widely recognized, as it’s sold with basic labeling in stores.
