Rio de Janeiro: Minas cheese -- a dairy delight from a farming region in Brazil giving it its name -- was added to UNESCO's global list of intangible cultural heritage on Wednesday.
The inscription raises the profile of the cheese internationally and helps protect the traditions that go into making it.
"This is really a very special way of us preserving our memory, the knowledge of our people," Brazilian Culture Minister Margareth Menezes said in a video message of thanks to UNESCO.
The inscription was one of several added by the intergovernmental committee of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in a session held in Paraguay's capital Asuncion.
The cheese, called Queijo Minas in Portuguese, is made from fresh cow milk. It is firm and has a mild, slightly salty flavor.
