We are what we eat
In our family, we have always believed that food should be authentic. We raise our own chickens for homemade eggs, maintain a vegetable garden, and always seek out small producers for the products we don't grow ourselves. We stand behind every piece of cheese with our own name, because what we offer you is the same as what we put on our family table. For us, quality is not just a word – it's a way of life. We believe that our health directly depends on what we eat. In a world where the true taste of milk is becoming increasingly rare, we are determined to preserve and share that authentic taste with you.

Our approach
Small but with heart
We define "MEDA" dairy as a boutique one because we perform many of the processes by hand. We have chosen to produce in small batches so that we can dedicate attention to every detail.
In a world of mass production, we prioritize quality over quantity. We are glad that there are others like us who appreciate real food and support small producers.
The whole family is involved in various aspects of the business - from production to distribution. This is our passion and our way to share the taste of tradition with you.
Recipe for quality
The secret is in the milk
To create exceptional cheese, we start by selecting exceptional milk. This choice begins with the careful selection of special animal breeds raised on small farms around our hometown of Isperih, where the dairy is also located. We produce cow's milk cheese from the milk of the French Montbéliarde breed, characterized by high fat and protein content. The cows are raised on a farm in the nearby village of Veselets. We make goat cheese from the milk of the French Alpine breed – a breed that gives milk with a very rich taste, raised in the village of Kara Mihal, and our sheep delicacies come from the Assaf breed with valuable A2 milk, known for easier digestibility and rich nutritional content.
The proximity of the farms to our dairy in Isperih is an advantage that we value highly. It not only guarantees maximum freshness of the milk but also allows us to maintain personal contact with the farmers, sharing the conviction that the way animals are raised and fed is fundamental to the quality of every piece of cheese.
