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.
Frequently Asked Questions about La Ferme Cheese & our products
What makes La Ferme Cheese different?
La Ferme Cheese has been producing artisanal handmade cheeses in Auroville since 1988. The cheeses are made in small batches using traditional methods, natural ingredients, and milk sourced from local farms rather than intensive dairy farming.
Do you use preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors?
No. La Ferme cheeses contain only milk, salt, vegetarian enzymes, and cheese cultures. No preservatives, artificial flavors, colors, or emulsifiers are used.
Are your cheeses vegetarian?
Yes. La Ferme uses vegetarian enzymes in its cheese-making process.
Is the milk sourced locally?
Yes. Milk is sourced from domestic cows and small local farms around the region.
Are your cheeses handmade?
Yes. All cheeses are handcrafted in small batches using artisanal methods.
Can all cheeses be shipped?
Most cheeses can be shipped. However, fresh cheeses such as Mozzarella, Ricotta, Philadelphia, and very fresh Goat Cheese are more sensitive to heat and may not always be suitable for long-distance shipping.
How should I store my cheese?
Store cheese in the refrigerator at around 4°C. Keep it sealed until use.
Can cheese be frozen?
No. Freezing changes the texture and flavor and may shorten shelf life.
How long will my cheese last?
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.
Why is there mold on my cheese?
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.
Why does my cheese look different from a previous purchase?
Because our cheeses are handmade and naturally aged, slight variations in flavor, texture, and appearance are normal and expected.
Why is there a coating on some cheeses?
Some aged cheeses are coated during maturation. This coating is not edible and should be removed before serving.
Which cheese is best for pizza?
Mozzarella is the classic choice. Lofabu also melts beautifully and works well on pizzas, sandwiches, and baked dishes.
Which cheese is best for salads?
Feta, Farm Cheese, Cheddar, and Goat Cheese are all excellent salad options.

Which cheese would you recommend for beginners?

Which cheese has the strongest flavor?

What is Lofabu?

What is Swissly?
Swissly is an aged version of Lofabu with a more pronounced flavor, similar to Alpine-style cheeses.
What is Auroblochon?
Auroblochon is a rich, aged cheese with a strong, piquant flavor, inspired by European mountain cheeses.
