The Normande is the result of progressive improvement of various local populations in Normandy. It was standardised in the 19th century and identified as long ago as 1883 in France’s first herdbook,

The Normande breed of cattle is one of the so-called “dual-purpose” breeds.
Its milk is rich in fat and in protein; it is highly sought-after by dairy produce makers and has contributed to the reputation of Normandy’s creams and cheeses.
Even after several lactations, the females produce tasty meat known for its flavour and marbling.
