Cremeitalia rules the roost for Italian cheese in the Indian market

Being one of the largest producers of milk in the world, India is also a growing market for exotic cheese consumption owing to the larger western culinary influences. Reportedly, the cheese market in India grew at a CAGR of 26% from 2014-2019. Seeing the huge potential in the cheese segment market in India, which to date has fewer brands providing international quality, Cremeitalia ventured into this space in 2016 providing indulgent variants of artisanal and authentic Italian cheeses catering to diverse taste buds.

Bringing a plethora of experiences of having spearheaded businesses in various sectors and sharing the same passion for the F&B industry, cofounders Prateek Mittal and Rajas Dhote - after spending over a year to understand and research about the Indian market for Italian cheeses - together flagged off the eponymous venture MD Food Product LLP and Cremeitalia. Cremeitalia is now successfully run and managed by the partners and has grown extensively since their launch.
