Our story
A cheesy story, made from the heart.
Geetanjali Gupta started OH CHEESE! in Chennai in 2025 with one idea: make labneh the way it's been made for centuries, then roll it into something Chennai couldn't stop eating.
“A person who smiles from her heart, makes cheese from her heart and makes friends for a lifetime.”

How we make it
At the crossroads of ancient tradition and modern taste lies labneh, a luscious, tangy, velvety spread born from strained yoghurt and centuries of Mediterranean heritage. We're not just bringing labneh to your table, we're elevating it.
What
Labneh is yoghurt strained until thick and creamy, then rolled into balls.
How
Each ball is coated in herbs or spices and kept in extra virgin olive oil.
Use
Spread it, dip it, crumble it, or eat it straight from the jar.
