Further, South America is famous for its large-format mountain cheeses, including Reggianito from Argentina and Uruguay, Queijo de Minas from Brazil, and an aged Gruyere-style from Ecuador. Popular cheeses of Argentine origin include Reggianito, Sardo, Cremoso, Provoleta, and Pategrás. Mozzarella (Felices Las Vacas, Argentina), Queso Cremoso (Felices Las Vacas, Argentina), Rawmesan (Natural Seed, Argentina), Queso Untable Fantastique Finas Hierbas (Felices Las Vacas, Argentina) and Questaa Queso Vegano Ahumado (Felices Las Vacas, Argentina) is some of the best vegan cheese in South America as of 2021. In South America, queso frescoes, found throughout the region and often used in sauces and soups, are ever-present. However, aged and raw milk cheeses, some made with sheep or goat milk, are increasing in popularity. Some of these cheese makers are rescuing or attempting to preserve traditional methods, while others are applying European techniques to their own landscape. South America is home to prominent market players who produce and offer a variety of cheese in the region. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for cheese ingredients such as cultures, enzymes, milk, additives, and other cheese-related products, represents one of the significant factors driving the market's growth. Apart from this, the rapidly changing lifestyles and eating patterns of individuals are acting as another growth-inducing factor. On the other hand, soft cheese has been recording very strong growth in Brazil during the pandemic, flavoring not only its low prices but also its versatility; for example, soft cheese can be consumed with bread for breakfast, in snacks, or used in the preparation of meals. Brands such as Sadia and Quatá were also able to retail at highly competitive on-shelf prices for mozzarella in key channels, helping to reinforce their appeal as cost-effective offerings. Fresh cheeses from South America include para queso, blanco, panela, and ranchero. These cheeses are high in moisture and pH. In general, these cheeses do not melt, can be crumbly, and tend to have a very mild, milky flavor. Covid-19 Impacts: As COVID-19 spreads through South America, countries are closing their borders, consumers are practicing social isolation, and South American food consumption and purchasing habits are changing. The sudden shift in behaviors is challenging the cheese industry to study changing information and reinvent business practices. During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, the food industries witnessed a decline in the cheese market due to movement restrictions, de-globalization, loss of income, restrictions on import and export of products, and restrictions in the supply of raw materials, among others. All these factors impacted the market's growth negatively. However, a change in consumer behavior and growing demands for fast-food chains across the region are anticipated to boost market growth.
