Butter, yoghurt, cheese ... are all dairy products, but what's the magic behind this transformation?

Goodness! How can an animal grazing so peacefully in the fields produce such a large quantity of milk? Several conditions are necessary for this to happen. Divided into groups, the students will examine the characteristics of cows and the properties of milk: from their anatomy to their lactation cycle, including their diet and family photo. Then, we will look at another question: how is it that this warm liquid, fresh from the udder, can be transformed into butter, yogurt, or even better... cheese? Topics covered: definition and characteristics of cows, their diet and lactation cycle, the components of milk, dairy products from cows and other animals around the world. Organization: activities alternating between small groups (5 groups max) and group discussions. Reservations required.

Tips
A shop offers you local products, directly from local farmers or companies (Savoy cheeses, salted meats, jams, honey, books, souvenirs). Ask for the catalogue, place your order and collect it at the end of your visit!
