Get to know more about Yorkshire Dama Cheese…
Yorkshire Dama Cheese Company has came to live on 17th of June 2014, when we challenged the circumstances and we managed to produce an award winning cheese.
Our story has been started when
Razan Alsous, the Founder of Yorkshire Dama Cheese, came to the UK after the war in Syria in 2012 with her husband and three young children. Razan has a strong microbiological background, having graduated from the Medical Institute in Syria.
After recognising the good quality of the British milk and finding a gap in producing Halloumi cheese in the local market, Razan had a brainwave: to create a business and make halloumi cheese herself from fresh high quality Yorkshire milk.
And since then our cheese won lots of awards:
World cheese Award Bronze Prize 2014-15
World cheese Award Gold Prize 2015-16
British cheese award Silver 2016 for the plain Halloumi
Best Cheese in Yorkshire 2016 for the Chilli Halloumi
Silver for British cheese Award 2017 for the mint Halloumi
