As an alternative to the contemporary preference for [plastic wrap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prsident-butter-with-sea-salt-crystals) and stickers, this proposal for cheese labels is more authentic in appearance and function. Designed by Diogo Vareta, this [Casa da Trindade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-obsidiana) Cheese packaging concept comprises a simple paper cover and a cloth wrap to keep the product protected.

For two different varieties of the bovine byproduct get their own label each, featuring distinctive colors and patterns. The [brie-style cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softripened-goat-cheese) are marked with tiny dots or triangles, in white or a soft mauve hue. The moist surface of the food is enough to keep the coaster-sized label stuck in place, and a thin layer of natural mold does keep the soft insides effectively contained. The incorporation of a fabric cover completes a package design that looks deliciously artisanal.
