Feed (for products of animal origin only) and raw materials (for processed products only) The animals are reared in accordance with traditional cycles of alternating between pasture (at least 6 months a year) and the cowshed during the entire rearing period, i.e. one cycle for bovines aged 14 to 24 months and at least two cycles for the females. The holding's area under grass must account for at least 70 % of the principal forage area. The feed of all the animals is based on grass and coarse fodder. The coarse forage, excluding straw, must come exclusively from the geographical area. This enables the traditional use of the significant presence in the geographical area of natural grasslands, which are characterised by their diversity and the quality of their flora. The share of complete or complementary concentrated feed is limited to an average of 2 kilograms of raw material per day and per animal over the year, except during the finishing phase.
