As a member of the vibrant Sephardi community in Deal, NJ, Susan realized how many traditional Syrian-Jewish immigrants could no longer enjoy the quintessential Syrian breakfast of Syrian string cheese served with tomatoes and cucumbers, because no such cheese had Kosher certification in the US.  

So Susan took matters into her own hands. Already a skilled chef and mom to nine with a passion for delicious food, Susan handmade her first traditional string cheese. Once she streamlined the cheese for quality and taste, she made Susan’s Gourmet Cheeses official, moving to a production plant and expanding her line of products to include a range of cheeses to suit every flavor combination and palate.

Today, Susan’s Gourmet Cheese can be found on shelves of Kosher markets across the country, ranging from traditional Mediterranean varieties to modern varieties for contemporary recipes.

Susan’s Cheese is made of quality you can taste, created in small batches with the same attention to detail as that very first string cheese in Susan's home kitchen.
