Founder's Story
Every brand has a story. Ours begins with a simple belief—that great cheese begins with honesty.
My journey into the world of food began more than 36 years ago in marketing and distribution. Over the years, I had the privilege of working with leading food brands, introducing new products to the market and building relationships with retailers, restaurants and customers across India.
As I helped build brands for others, I also gained a deep understanding of what customers truly value—not just quality products, but trust, consistency and honest guidance.
There came a point when I asked myself a simple question:
If I could help build other brands, why not create one that reflected my own values?
That question became the beginning of Mishti Gourmet.
Mishti Gourmet was never created to be just another cheese brand. It was created to make good cheese more approachable, enjoyable and understandable for Indian homes.
Our artisanal cheeses are crafted in small batches using fresh cow's milk, vegetarian rennet, natural ingredients where required, and low salt. Every product is vacuum packed to preserve freshness and reach you in the best possible condition. Alongside our artisanal range, we thoughtfully curate imported cheeses from trusted producers around the world, giving our customers the opportunity to explore a wide variety of flavours and styles.
Over the years, I realised that many people wanted to enjoy cheese but often felt unsure about how to choose it, store it or use it in everyday cooking. That inspired Leena's Cheese Table—a place where I share practical knowledge, simple recipes and honest conversations that help make the world of cheese less intimidating and far more enjoyable.
At Mishti Gourmet, we believe that every product we offer should reflect the values on which this brand was built: honesty, thoughtful curation and the joy of sharing good food.
Thank you for visiting Mishti Gourmet. Whether you're discovering cheese for the first time or have loved it for years, I hope you'll find products, ideas and conversations that inspire confidence and bring a little more joy to your table.
Welcome to the Mishti Gourmet family.
