VALE DA ESTRELA RENOVATES BRC CERTIFICATION – THE SOLE DAIRY IN PORTUGAL WITH THE MOST DEMANDING CERTIFICATION IN FOOD INDUSTRY.

Vale da Estrela Dairy renewed the BRC Certification (British Retail Consortium) one of the most demanding quality and safety food certifications worldwide.

With the commitment to seek excellence in the production of a unique handmade product such as Serra da Estrela PDO Cheese, rendering an additional guarantee to its clients with this certification from an independent entity, Vale da Estrela Dairy renews this award following a highly demanding inspection process; Vale da Estrela Dairy remains, since 2021, the sole Dairy in Portugal to receive this BRC certification.

According to José Pedro Freitas, Commercial and Marketing Director of Vale da Estrela: “following the recent awards of the National Contest for Traditional Cheeses to our PDO Cheese and PDO Curd Cheese, the BRC Renewal testifies the superior quality of the goods and the respect for the production process, implemented according to the best practices.

We are very proud, this is the recognition of the collective effort of all Vale da Estrela departments, from the milk producers to the production, logistics and quality control teams, which ensure the requested legal rules to obtain a product that is considered as the king of the Portuguese cheeses and one of the best in the world”.
