Prato Cheese

Prato cheese is one of the most popular and famous semi-hard Brazilian cheeses, with a rich yellow-orange color. Prato takes its name from the original form of its production by Danish immigrants, meaning “plate-shaped cheese”. At the beginning of the 20th century, Danish immigrants who settled in the southern state of Brazil’s Minas Gerais discovered a new type of cheese by producing Danbo Danish cheese with Brazilian milk. In fact, this cheese is produced with a production method very similar to the Danish Danbo cheese and the different characteristics of the milk used in it. The orange color of this cheese is due to the pigment of a type of tropical plant called annatto. The good taste of this cheese can be a factor in its use in snacks and snacks, especially for children.
