Globally recognized for its unique sensory attributes, Natural Bloomy Rind Artisanal Minas Cheese (NBRAMC) from the Canastra microregion is made from raw cow's milk using a natural starter culture derived from the local environment. During ripening process, microorganisms, predominantly Geotrichum candidum, develop on the surface, with the microbial community playing a crucial role in shaping the cheese's distinctive characteristics. This study aimed to characterize the microbial community, including filamentous fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, present in the rind and core of NBRAMC. Amplicon sequencing of the ITS and 16S rRNA gene regions was performed on rind and core samples from cheeses produced at six distinct producers. Results indicated that G. candidum and Diutina catenulata were the most prevalent fungal species, and Candida intermedia being more abundant exclusively in the interior of the cheeses. The bacterial community displayed greater diversity in the rind, with genera such as Lactococcus, Brevibacterium, and Corynebacterium variabile, while Lactococcus and Streptococcus dominated the core. An inverse relationship between D. catenulata and G. candidum abundance was noted. Significant variations in microbial community profiles were found among producers, despite their geographical proximity. While low levels of undesirable fungi were detected, some samples showed a notable presence of undesirable bacteria, indicating potential hygiene issues during cheese handling. These findings provide valuable insights into the microbial dynamics of NBRAMC, supporting the implementation of strategies that can enhance the quality and safety of the product.
