Which type of milk has the highest fat percentage?

Cow milk
Sheep milk
Goat milk
Buffalo milk

The correct answer is: Buffalo milk

Buffalo milk is known for its high-fat content, which typically ranges from about 6% to 8% fat. This higher fat percentage is one of the reasons why buffalo milk is prized for making rich and creamy dairy products, including mozzarella and various types of cheeses. In contrast, cow milk generally has a fat content of about 3.5% to 4%, while sheep milk usually contains around 6% to 7% fat. Goat milk typically has a fat content that falls between that of cow and sheep milk, usually around 4% to 5%. Because of these differences in fat percentage, buffalo milk stands out as the richest among the types listed, making it particularly beneficial for producing dairy products that require a high-fat base for creaminess and flavor.
