<!-- content to be placed inside <body>…</body> -->

<!-- In this example, the text will appear to have a strikethrough -->
<h2 class="background">Strikethrough title</h2>

<!-- We can get rid of the strikethrough look by adding a span tag and applying a background color to the span. Applying a background to the h2:after won't work because it won't adjust and hug the text. -->
<h2 class="background"><span>Line-behind title</span></h2>

<!-- We can achieve a double-lined strikethrough by adding a box-shadow to the tag. You could probably also just use a top & bottom border, then position both. -->
<h2 class="background double"><span>Double-lined title</span></h2>

<!-- This method doesn't need a <span> or background color. Source: http://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/css-trick-for-a-horizontal-type-line-behind-text/#post-138193 -->
<h2 class="no-background"><span>Line-behind title <b>(no bg)</b></span></h2>

<!-- My new preferred choice... this method doesn't need a <span>. Source: http://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/css-trick-for-a-horizontal-type-line-behind-text/#post-132492 -->
<h2 class="no-span">Line-behind title <b>(no span/no bg)</b></h2>

There are a few ways to do this, one of which would be with fieldset , example

fieldset {
   border-top: 1px solid #333;
    border-bottom: none;
    border-left: none;
    border-right: none;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

fieldset legend {
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

<fieldset class="Produtos">
    <legend>Produtos</legend>
</fieldset>

Another way would be with a div and span

div.titulo {
  height: 1px;
  background-color: #333;
  text-align: center;
}
div.titulo span {
  background-color: white;
  position: relative;
  top: -0.5em;
  padding: 0 10px;
}

<div class="titulo">
  <span>
    Produtos
  </span>
</div>
