About

The Indian Artisanal Cheese Association (IACA) was established in December 2025 and it brings together cheesemakers, dairy farmers, affineurs, cheesemongers and cheese professionals from across India. Our aim is to strengthen India’s growing artisanal cheese community through collaboration, education and knowledge-sharing while championing these artisanal Indian cheeses, supporting those who make it, and building greater recognition for it at home and around the world.
