Moreover, the silhouette of a cow, rendered in luxurious gold, adds a touch of elegance and represents the excellent rearing environment. This is further embellished with patterns of plants and flowers to signify natural quality.

The deep purple accentuates the richness of the milk, while a bold white ribbon symbolizes its essence.
