ORIGINSWhether sliced on bread, shredded into a salad or

molten in hot dishes, cheese is a prized delicacy

enjoyed throughout the world for its nutritional

qualities. Its origins, however, remain unknown.

According to legend, the first cheese was created

accidentally. An Arab merchant, riding through

mountainous terrain under a blazing sun, drunk

from a pouch of goat’s milk to quench his thirst, only

to be greatly surprised by what he found: the milk

had been solidified. The transformation had been

caused not only by the heat from the sun but also by

the horse’s gallop and the material of the container,

a pouch made from sheep’s stomach which still

held traces of rennet, a milk coagulating substance.

Throughout the ages, the art of cheese-making

underwent profound changes, especially after the

discovery of pasteurization, but the manufacturing

process still follows the same principle as in the

legend: it is the result of curdling the milk and

separating the whey.

The art and tradition of making outstanding fresh cheese, Portuguese cottage cheese (Requeijão) and matured cheese

05

Tété came into existence in 1960, right in the middle

of the saloia region (Portugal’s center coastal area),

in a small factory owned by the Amaro family. The

Amaro family has experienced three generations of

profound growth, always adapting to the demands

of both market and consumer.

At first production was small and methods

artisanal. The process of industrialization began in

1985, a shift which allowed Tété to diversify its

range of fresh cheeses according to different

weights and to begin production of cottage cheese.

Industrialization, however, never made Tété lose

sight of the traditional aspects of production,

evident in the quality of its products. This approach

makes Tété it a significant influence in the cheese

industry and a benchmark among its peers, with

strong representation in the sector.

In 1998, in order to ensure a stricter, more

continuous monitoring of the production process,

Tété inaugurated new, modern facilities equipped

with their own laboratory. All milk comes from dairy

farms carefully selected for their health and

hygiene processes, and is transported directly to

the factory on a daily basis. On arrival, milk quality is

tested according to the highest standards of

hygiene and freshness.

A keen concern with the protection and safety of its

customers and consumers dictated the company’s

efforts be directed towards outlining a food safety

policy, applied through a control system for the

production process – HACCP – which puts the

emphasis on better organization regarding food

safety issues, assuring consumers that its products

are safe and healthy.

Tété is also a socially conscious company. In order

to lessen the environmental impact of dairy

production, Tété made plans for building an

industrial water treatment facility and set aside a

parcel of land for trees and landscaped spaces.

The wisdom of ages is combined with cutting-edge

technology. Making use of modern equipment and

hygienic facilities; of production process control; of

rigorous selection of raw materials, ingredients and

packaging; of lab testing and attention to post-sale

customer service, the end result is without a doubt

a product of the brand Tété.

In 2013, the company competed for the first time in

the “Best Cheese of the Year” event put together by

ANIL (National Dairy Industrials Association), with

four product lines. Three of those won honorable

mentions: Fresh Cow’s Milk Cheese, Fresh Goat’s

Milk Cheese and Cow’s Milk Cottage Cheese.

In that same year, Tété launched its new line of

Traditional Butters and in doing so kick-started a

new period of growth, as well as a new concept of

product communication and packaging.

CowThe bull or ox (Bos Taurus), along with the female of

the species, the cow, and their offspring, the calf,

make up bovine cattle, a denomination which

broadly encompasses the ruminant artiodactyla

mammals of non-ramified, hollow, perennial,

paired horn of the genus Bos in which the species

domesticated by man are included.

Domesticated cattle in Europe are descended from

the aurochs. The domestication of cattle began

over 5000 years ago. Domesticated bovines were

used as load beasts (like donkeys and horses), as

well as for milk, meat and leather production.

SheepThe male sheep (Ovis Aries) is called a ram, the

female sheep is called a ewe and their offspring is

called a lamb. The sheep is a ruminant bovid

mammal of the sub-genus Caprinae which also

includes the goat.

The sheep is a hugely important animal in

economic terms, as a source of meat, dairy, wool

and leather. Raised in captivity in all continents, the

sheep was domesticated in the Bronze Age from

the mouflon (Ovis Orientalis), which in the present

day lives in the mountains of Turkey and Iraq.

GoatGoats belong to the Capra Aegagrus genus. Young

goats are called kids. Their gestation period is 150

days. The medium life expectancy of a goat is

around twenty years. The vocalization goats make

is called “bleating”.

Goats provide us with wool, leather, meat and milk.

Many people consume more goat-derived products

daily than those of other animals. Goats are

excellent explorers and can forage their own food.
