EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stand showcasing the art of cheese making in one of Portugal's international possessions during the Colonial Exhibition of 1901, held in Ponta Delgada, Azores. The exhibition, organized by the Portuguese Colonial Society and the Azores Government, aimed to promote Portugal's colonial territories and their produce to the world. The stand, identified as belonging to the Portuguese colonies of the Reunidas, displays various dairy products, including churns filled with curds and freshly made cheese. The scene exudes an air of authenticity and tradition, as local artisans demonstrate their skills to the intrigued crowd. The Azores, a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, has a rich history of dairy farming, with cheese production being a significant part of the local economy. The region's unique climate and lush pastures provide ideal conditions for producing high-quality milk, which is used to create a variety of cheeses, each with distinct flavors and textures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the strong connection between Portugal and its colonial territories, as well as the importance of agriculture and dairy production in shaping their shared cultural heritage. The Colonial Exhibition of 1901 served as a platform for showcasing Portugal's colonial possessions and their produce to the world, highlighting the country's global influence and reach during this period.
