Biocant – Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de Transfer\u00eancia de Tecnologia<\/a>, through its Advanced Sequencing Unit led by Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Egas<\/a>, has contributed over recent years to the BCheese project: \u201cIntegrated management of the production chain to ensure the traceability, authenticity and valorisation of Serra da Estrela cheese\u201d.<\/p>\n

Results were presented on 5 December at the final project symposium \u201cThe Serra da Estrela Cheese Value Chain: sustainability, authenticity and innovation\u201d, held at the Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viseu<\/a>, where two key findings stand out:
\n\u2714\ufe0f the microbiomes of milk and cheese vary throughout the year
\n\u2714\ufe0f each producer has a distinct microbial profile, reinforcing authenticity and production traceability<\/p>\n

These conclusions translate into direct benefits for the sector, enabling:
\n\u27a1\ufe0f stronger quality control along the production chain
\n\u27a1\ufe0f increased safety and confidence in the final product
\n\u27a1\ufe0f enhanced identity and valorisation of Serra da Estrela PDO cheese
\n\u27a1\ufe0f tangible impact for producers and for the region that keeps this tradition alive<\/p>\n

We are proud to be part of initiatives that place innovation at the service of the territory and strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the agri-food sector.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd1d We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate in this project alongside all partner organisations across the value chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
