Wisdom of ages
ORIGINS Whether 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.

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

Cow The 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.
Sheep The 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.
Goat Goats 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;bleatingâ&#x20AC;?. 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.
