Store cheese in the refrigerator at around 4°C. Keep it sealed until use.
No. Freezing changes the texture and flavor and may shorten shelf life.
Shelf life varies by cheese type. Fresh cheeses should be consumed sooner, while aged cheeses keep longer when refrigerated properly. Please read the instructions mentioned in the product details to know specifics.
Many cheeses naturally develop mold as part of the aging process. In most cases, this does not mean the cheese has spoiled. Surface mold can simply be scraped off if desired.
Because our cheeses are handmade and naturally aged, slight variations in flavor, texture, and appearance are normal and expected.
Some aged cheeses are coated during maturation. This coating is not edible and should be removed before serving.
Mozzarella is the classic choice. Lofabu also melts beautifully and works well on pizzas, sandwiches, and baked dishes.
Feta, Farm Cheese, Cheddar, and Goat Cheese are all excellent salad options.
Cheddar, Swissly, Gruyere, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Auroblochon, and mature Goat Cheese are ideal for cheese boards.
Farm Cheese, Lofabu, Mozzarella, and Cheddar have milder flavors and are great introductions to artisanal cheese.
Auroblochon and Gorgonzola offer bold, complex flavors for those who enjoy stronger cheeses.
Lofabu is La Ferme's signature semi-hard cheese with a mild, nutty flavor. It is versatile and suitable for melting, sandwiches, salads, and cheese platters.
Swissly is an aged version of Lofabu with a more pronounced flavor, similar to Alpine-style cheeses.
Auroblochon is a rich, aged cheese with a strong, piquant flavor, inspired by European mountain cheeses.

About La Ferme Cheese
La Ferme Cheese, located in Auroville in the countryside near Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, started in 1988 to develop several types of artisanal cheeses. This means a small-scale production and no mechanization, allowing us to stay closely in contact with our customers and to respond to their feedback. We source our milk from domestic cows and small local farms to guarantee a better milk quality - no milk is sourced from intensive farming.
Auroville would be hard-pressed to do without La Ferme Cheese. The unit is very popular and has grown to produce about 100 kilos of handmade cheese daily. Combining Indian traditional methods with Western cheese-making recipes, Benny and Arumugam make a strong team. We met up with them to talk about their daily work.
Kalabhumi in Auroville is a vibrant, evolving arts community that brings together music, theatre, film, and visual arts, growing from humble beginnings into a collaborative cultural hub. Born from a vision to nurture artistic expression, it has transformed through collective effort into a dynamic space where artists create, perform, and connect, embodying the spirit of shared creativity and cultural exploration.
