Our Story

“Where tradition and a love for Russian and Italian cuisine meet innovation, and every plate tells a story of craft and soul.”

We Perfected the Craft of Cheese

The turning point for us came when we decided to make our own cheese in-house, mastering traditional techniques to create burrata, mozzarella, stracciatella, ricotta and scamorza fresh every day. Marking a new chapter in the UAE’s culinary and sustainability journey, Cheesefarm has partnered with H.E. Dr Khalifa Al Teneiji and Meliha by Ektifa Sharjah to open the nation’s first in-house creamery restaurant, using milk sourced exclusively from local farms to craft world-class flavours and champion responsible gastronomy.

Step Inside Our Kitchen

From the heart of the open kitchen, the team handcrafts silky burrata, stretched mozzarella, stracciatella, ricotta, and scamorza, which are served on the menu and available to take home from the signature cheese counter. Wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, and wholesome salads take centre stage, each one celebrating cheese as its hero ingredient. Menu highlights include focaccia with burrata and tomatoes, pappardelle with shrimp and stracciatella, wood-fired pizza with four cheeses, including stracciatella and mortadella, and classic tiramisu with house-made mascarpone.
