provide public visibility to our Cooperative as it is an institution of the utmost importance for the milk economy in S\u00e3o Jorge Island, particularly in the Topo Area where we are located.<\/p><p>Apart from assuming itself as a driving force of the economy in the Topo Area, Finisterra also plays a major role as a social organization, as it constitutes a bonding agent of a vast set of people who form the living body of the cooperative entity.<\/p><p>Recent investments of great significance, supported by the European Union and the Azores Regional Government, have enabled Finisterra to modernize its industrial structure, keeping it in line with the most demanding European Union standards for the sector.<\/p><p>Our cooperative places high quality cheeses on the market, produced with raw milk, including PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) \u2013 S\u00e3o Jorge and Topo, which are marketed through Lacta\u00e7ores, an entity accessible from this website.<\/p><p>This website is mainly intended to be an institutional page, but it is also a way of getting to know our cooperative, its present, past and future, and a window on the milk economy in S\u00e3o Jorge and, in general, on our island, particularly the Topo area, in which we are located.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column
