Our Story
Eleftheria began in 2015 with a simple idea—creating exceptional artisanal cheeses in India. Founded by Mausam Narang, we’re focused on using the finest local ingredients to make cheeses that can stand alongside the best in the world. Over the years, our cheeses have earned prestigious awards, including Gold and Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, with one of our cheeses even being recognized among the top 5 in the world.
At Eleftheria, great cheese starts with great milk. We partner with family-run farms across Maharashtra, where quality always comes first. These farms share our commitment to excellence and help us maintain our high standards.
From chefs and home cooks to cheese enthusiasts of all ages, the support and love for our cheeses has driven us forward. It’s helped us build a passionate team that’s dedicated to creating pure, honest, and delicious cheeses. Above all, it’s our endeavor to champion the cause of Indian artisanal cheese and promote its appreciation across the country and beyond.
Our Founder
Mausam Narang is the founder and Head Cheesemaker at Eleftheria cheese.
In her previous life, she studied language in Germany and earned a Masters in HR from the UK. Subsequently, she worked at German conglomerates for 8 years.
It is during these stays and travels in Europe that Mausam caught the cheese-making bug.
Initially self-taught, she went on to develop a stronger foundation of cheesemaking techniques with extensive readings and research on the science of cheese making & history of cheese across the world.
Mausam has secured collaborations & extensively trained and made cheese with expert cheesemakers across the world. Her most recent exploration was in Campania - the Mozzarella belt of Italy and Tuscany - the land of Pecorino Cheese.
Mausam is a big believer in championing the cause of women in the workplace and has a large proud team of girls at Eleftheria Cheese.
Her favourite cheese is an extra mature Clothbound Cheddar and she loves 80% dark chocolate!
