About Us

Our Story.

We are a proud South African family business with deep roots in cheese-making.

Our journey began in the Western Cape, where our owner, Lynn-Mari van Staden, learned the traditional art of making yoghurt cheese from her family. What started as a small market stall in 2020 — born during the challenging times of lockdown — has grown into a full-fledged artisanal business: Arlynndro Delights (Pty) Ltd, trading as Yoghurt Cheese.

Driven by a true love for bold flavours, Lynn-Mari began experimenting in her kitchen, infusing the creamy yoghurt cheese with exciting South African-inspired ingredients. From the iconic Amarula to Brandy & Cola, Garlic & Chilli, Biltong, Choc-Yo, and more, each flavour is created with passion, creativity, and feedback from our loyal fans.

We sold our very first jar in March 2021, and since then, we’ve been on a mission to share the joy of our handmade yoghurt cheese. Whether it’s elevating a weekend braai, creating the perfect cheese platter, upgrading a salad, or adding a gourmet touch to pizza and pasta — we believe every meal can be made more splendid with a jar of Yoghurt Cheese.

Today, we proudly produce small-batch, high-quality yoghurt cheese right here in Pretoria, while staying true to the original family recipe and the spirit of creativity that started it all.

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to share more delicious moments with you!
