Zandam Italian Cheese

Zandam Italian Cheese Family-owned business making authentic Italian Cheese in the heart of the Cape Winelands since 1962. Crafting cheese runs deep in the family.

The Delle Donne Family have been expertly crafting Zandam Italian Cheese for more than half a century. The processes and recipes that are still used today have been handed down from mother, to daughter in law, to son. Mauro Delle Donne, the current owner of Zandam Italian Cheese, is a cheesemaker at heart. Having spent many years in the cheesery, learning from his mother Iolanda, Mauro still regul

arly travels to Italy to ensure that Zandam cheese remains authentically Italian in every sense. Zandam Italian cheese is also proudly South African. Through the years our recipes have been perfected for the South African palette and has played an important role in establishing a love for authentic Italian cuisine in South Africa. Today Zandam continues to make award winning cheeses of the highest quality. At Zandam there is no compromise for quality and service.

Throwback post alert!
With weather warming up and spring doing its thing on the farm, we are fondly reminiscent of our spring luncheon at The Kraal at Joostenberg Wine Estate a couple of seasons back.

Good vibes, good people, GREAT food and a bright spring day…La Dolce Vita.

In loving memory, always.

Today will always be a poignant day for the Delle Donne family. Our matriarch, and the best ricotta maker ever, passed away 31 years ago. Iolanda Delle Donne. We miss her, we love her, and we honour her in all we do.

Why do we love our Mediterranean water buffalo herd so much?
Is it because they are adorable, is it because of the Italian heritage they embody so well?
Or is it simply because they give us the chance to make one of the most authentically Italian Cheeses?
Whatever the reason – we love these goofballs as much as we love a good Mozzarella di Bufala!

We enjoy the friendly rivalry, and whether you're for Gimmies or Boishaai, as long as its Paarl, we are happy!

We always enjoy sharing our love of cheese with the chefs of tomorrow.
Tino took the Zandam magic to the Institute of the Culinary arts recently and shared his experience in the world of Authentic Italian Cheese with the students. We are passionate about what we do, and we love sharing this passion with aspiring culinary masters.
You just can’t beat real cheese, made with real dairy and using our authentic Italian family recipes. Zelicious!
