Founded by Joseph Chaeban, who is a second-generation cheesemaker, Chaeban Artisan produces a range of artisanal cheeses in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Joseph learned the craft of cheesemaking from his father, Daham, who honed his skills in Europe, in particular in Germany and Switzerland, before establishing Fromagerie Chaeban in Northern Africa.
Building on his family legacy, Joseph creates cheeses such as Soft Creamy Feta, Labneh, Ricotta, Mascarpone, Halloumi, and Cream Cheese, all of which are made from 100% Canadian milk. Chaeban Artisan’s products are available at retailers mostly in Winnipeg and some surrounding areas, as well as from their online store.
