Association of Colonial Cheese Producers of the Serra Gaúcha

The Association of Colonial Cheese Producers of the Serra Gaúcha is focused on promoting and protecting the unique characteristics of colonial cheese from the Serra Gaúcha region. This association aims to achieve geographical-indication status, which would recognize and preserve the distinct qualities and heritage of the cheese produced in this area.

Important Events

The association officially came into existence with the signing of its founding document at this year’s Expointer agricultural fair. This event marks a significant step towards formalizing efforts to gain recognition for the regional cheese.

Future Plans

In November, the Association is scheduled to receive a microbiological analysis of milk produced in the Serra Gaúcha region. This analysis will likely play a crucial role in the process of obtaining geographical-indication status, as it will provide scientific backing for the unique qualities of the local cheese.
