What will you find at the Caminho do Queijo Paulista Fair?
In addition to the participation of the 16 cheese factories that make up the Caminho do Queijo Artesanal Paulista, recognized and awarded nationally and internationally, the fair features high-quality artisan products. For example, cow, goat, sheep and buffalo cheeses, fresh or matured, original or inspired by European tradition, always adapted to São Paulo’s terroir.
