Joe Matos Cheese Co.

Our Farmstead and Cheese Factory, located in Santa Rosa, California was established in 1979 by Joe and Mary Matos after immigrating from the small, lush, volcanic island of  Sao Jorge, Azores. Still owned and operated by Joe and Mary, the Joe Matos Cheese Factory legacy continues with the 7th generation of the Matos family who bring you a taste of our Portuguese traditions, heritage and pride through handmade artisan raw milk St. Jorge cheese.
