About our company

 Located in Aragatsotn region, CheeZler Cheese Company is one of the best cheese producing companies in Armenia that implemented  western cheese making practices and technology. CheeZler is an idea that was born in November 2004 while Garen Darbinyan, the founder of the business, was participating in “Community Connections” hands on training in and around Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA.

A unique chance of spending some time with Smith's Country Cheese Inc., in Winchendon, lead Garen to start his own cheesemaking business in Armenia with western cheesemaking traditions.

Professional training at PTC+ (The Netherlands) in milk processing and cheesemaking helped to adopt Dutch cheesemaking technologies and good manufacturing practices. Thanks to PTC+  proffecionals CheeZLer staff is now equipped  with cutting edge milk processing and cheesemaking knowledge and skills.

All the cheeses we produce are hand-made. We utilize high quality ingredients (cultures, moulds, wax) supplied by Glengarry Cheesemaking & Dairy Supply company from Canada. Glengarry Cheesemaking & Dairy Supply also helped us to implement good cheesemakeing practices and technology in our production.

We try to keep the handmade traditions of cheesemaking. Our goal is to give an opportunity to local consumers to choose western style, locally produced, specialty cheeses. We concentrate all our efforts in producing specialty premium quality cheeses. Creating a good tradition of cheesemaking and consumption is one of our business priorities.

Currently we produce Cream Cheese, Cheesecake, Gouda (Dutch cheese), Kalacha (brain cheese) and Telak (string cheese). We use only fresh milk produced by small farms located around Tsaghkahovit village. These families breed their cattle on the grasslands of the Aragats Mountain. Surrounded by Aragats mountain green grassy fields, in the best organic farming 
environment local farmers raise their animals from birth on 100% organic feed in these pastures.  Our company takes advantage of being located close to the farms by using only fresh organic milk. We are proud of having organized a company that recognizes the value of using this good quality milk for our product.
