SOIRA Artisan Cheese Company

Soira is a small artisan cheese dairy in Ādaži that combines traditional cheesemaking methods with a modern understanding of the rapidly growing organic food market. Only two ingredients are used to make the cheese – milk and salt. Everything else comes from the cheesemaking process itself, with bacteria and moulds working their magic during maturation.

Cheeses
Soira produces more than 20 varieties of cheese, ranging from fresh and mild cheeses to distinctive, long-matured hard cheeses. Particular highlights include its premium blue and ash-coated cheeses, whose nuanced flavours have won recognition from international experts and food lovers in Latvia.

How the Cheese Is Made
The cheese is made using milk from Latvian farms, where cows graze outdoors on pasture. The milk is unpasteurised, preserving its natural flavour and character.

For Visitors
Visitors can discover the cheesemaking process first-hand, tour the dairy, look into the ageing rooms and see the cheeses maturing on the shelves, followed by a tasting on site.
