The Cachena is an Iberian breed of small cattle, found both in northern Portugal and in the Spanish autonomous community of Galicia to the north.

[12]: 70 In Portugal, there is also the similar but larger cattle breed known by the name, Barrosão or Barrosã.

In addition, they are spread in the region around the Ourensic village Olelas and in the Portuguese Peneda-Gerês National Park.

The Cachena cow produces a little amount of milk that is of markedly good taste because of the wild herbs of the range, quasi-perfumed.

[citation needed] It is refined to the cheese named "Brandas da Cachena".

Some beef from the cattle may be marketed as "Carne Cachena da Peneda", which has Protected Designation of Origin status.
