Laticínio Viçosa is today one of the most renowned dairy producers in Brazil. Inaugurated on July 15, 1971, it was initially created to meet the academic needs of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), serving as a support laboratory for practical classes in the Department of Food Technology. The leading symbol of this successful journey is the doce de leite Viçosa, commercially launched in 1988. With its rich flavor and unmistakable emotional appeal, the product has become a true ambassador of Minas Gerais culture. It has been awarded Best Doce de Leite in Brazil ten times at the National Dairy Products Contest, the most prestigious event in the industry, making it a record-holding champion. Produced using top-quality raw materials and strict food safety standards and certified by FSSC 2200, it has earned the trust and palate of Brazilian consumers and is now expanding into international markets.
