Will Studd, cheese specialist for over 3 decades, arrives in Brazil to film our raw milk cheeses
On April 19, Cheese Slices, the Australian TV Program out to discover what’s on the map at a time of growing worldwide interest in artisanal cheeses, arrives in Brazil. ( http://cheeseslices.com/). Headed by Will Studd, one of the greatest specialists in the matter, Cheese Slices has visited various countries in search of the most interesting cheeses in terms of taste, texture and aroma.
Exploring the global resurgence of raw milk cheese making, the team now arrives in Brazil to get to know some of our best products. SerTãoBras, a long time supporter of Minas raw milk cheese and supportive of this team’s endeavour, will accompany them on their visits and filmings in three states. In Minas Gerais, Cheese Slices will visit the Canastra Mountain region, where they will get to watch (and savour) the production of some of the most famous cheeses in the state. In São Paulo, they will visit renown chefs who use raw milk cheese in their dishes, as well as raw cheese vending points. And in Rio Grande do Sul, in the southern Gaucho Mountains, they will follow up on the production of the well appreciated Serrano and Colonial cheeses.
