About this listen

In this episode, host John Braga (@oqueijonista) “travels” to the Cuesta region of São Paulo to uncover the story behind Pardinho Artesanal (@pardinhoartesanal) - where decades of cattle-genetics expertise meet the craft of raw-milk cheesemaking. John is joined by veterinarian, affineur, and technical lead Vanessa Alcolea, who shares how the farm became a landmark in Brazilian artisanal cheese. Discover the journey of Mandala, the first Brazilian raw-milk cheese legally exported to the U.S.; learn what makes Gir and Girsey cows extraordinary; and explore how the Cuesta’s unique terroir shapes every wheel.
