Cheese in Kenya
Appearance
Several companies make cheese in Kenya, though cheese is not a traditional Kenyan food, and the market is expanding.[1] Cheese consumption has been increasing within the Kenyan middle-class.[2]
As of 2016[update] the five largest manufacturers of cheese in Kenya were Browns, active since the 1970s[3] with 22% of the market; Raka, established 2001[4] with 19%; Happy Cow Kenya, Eldoville Dairies and New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (New KCC).[1][3]
Cheese produced in Kenya includes cheddar, gouda, blue cheese, feta, mascarpone, ricotta, mozzarella and brie.
