This article was written after a research with producers of artisanal Minas Cheese, a Brazilian Intangible Cultural Heritage, who live in the Zona da Mata of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our objective was to analyze what representations of such cheese makers are about the knowledge involved in cheese manufacture and how they are linked with the health laws regulating this knowledge. Therefore, it was underpinned by theories about know-how and collective representations, which contributed to field research and further analysis. Based on participant observations and conversations held with the producers and their families, previously approved by the Research Ethics Committee, it was noted that the representations of this knowledge go beyond the moment and time when cheese is made. As a food item produced very close to or inside the household, all spaces belonging to it contribute to the construction of representations and interact with know-how itself on a daily basis. In this context, know-how can be considered the result of the articulation of a series of spheres connecting the life and the history of these people.
