Guarantee of origin and quality
The name “Alta Mogiana” came about at the time of the railroads. The line that went to the site departed from the city of Campinas, and the classification was made based on the distance in Baixa, Medio and Alta Mogiana. Over time, new branches were created, which helped transport production, which helped in the development of the region as a whole.
