Brand Tone

Authentic & Traditional, Passionate & Proud, Community-Oriented & Friendly, Quality-Focused & Natural, Approachable & Informative

Brand Values

• •Heritage & Tradition: Preserving and sharing Portuguese (and Latin American) cheese-making traditions in Canada.
• •Quality & Craftsmanship: Commitment to artisanal, handcrafted methods and high-quality, natural ingredients.
• •Authenticity: Producing cheeses true to their ethnic origins and traditional recipes.
• •Family & Community: Rooted in family history and committed to local sourcing and engaging with their customer community.
• •Passion: A deep love for cheese-making and sharing their culinary culture.

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage Consistently: Always weave in the story of tradition, family legacy (since 1966), and the cultural roots of your cheeses (Portuguese, Latin American). Use phrases like "time-honored," "ancestral recipes," "a taste of home."
• •Highlight "Handcrafted" and "Artisanal": These words reinforce the quality, care, and traditional methods involved in your cheese-making, differentiating you from mass-produced alternatives.
• •Showcase Local Sourcing & Natural Ingredients: Regularly mention the use of local Canadian ingredients and your commitment to all-natural, preservative-free products. This appeals to consumers interested in quality and supporting local.
• •Use Warm, Inviting Language: Adopt a friendly, passionate, and approachable tone. Words like "passion," "love," "joy," "discover," "savor," and "welcome" can create a connection with the audience.
• •Engage with Your Community: Frame your communications as a dialogue. Ask questions, invite sharing of experiences, and respond to comments in a way that reflects your brand's community-oriented values. Refer to customers as "Cheese Lovers" or part of the "Portuguese Cheese Company family."
