A day on a dairy cattle farm

Get to know the day-to-day routine of our dairy cattle farmers. Thanks to their passion and hard work, and their love for their animals, our Valle de Los Pedroches has become a prime milk-producing area.

The well-being on the farm and the attention given to the cows, combined with their genetic characteristics, specially designed diet, and the proximity of the farms to our factory, ensure the excellent quality of COVAP milk.

Collecting the milk

At COVAP, we collect the milk every day, which guarantees that it is fresh and pure, because our members are located very close to our plant: only 50 km away. This ensures traceability, quality, and a good relationship with our farmers.
