Mumbai-based premium cheese startup Crèmeitalia, known for its Italian-style cheeses, has raised ₹18 crore (approx. $2.1 million USD) in Series A funding to expand operations across India, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Mumbai-based gourmet cheese startup Crèmeitalia, founded in 2018 by Prateek Mittal and Rajas Dhote, has raised ₹18 crore (approx. $2.1 million USD) in a Series A funding round. The company, which produces authentic Italian cheeses like burrata, bocconcini, and mascarpone, aims to use the capital to expand its presence in India’s growing premium dairy market.
The round was led by the Amit Jatia Family Office, with support from the BL Taparia Family Office (B2V Ventures), Nikhil Vora of Sixth Sense Ventures, and other notable investors. The funds will be directed towards setting up a cutting-edge manufacturing and R&D facility, scaling the team, and increasing digital brand outreach through strategic collaborations and marketing initiatives.
Operating in Maharashtra, India, Crèmeitalia already supplies its products to over 280 retail outlets in 18 cities and more than 50 five-star hotels and fine dining restaurants. With this investment, the company is targeting fivefold growth over the next 18–24 months by deepening its Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) footprint and expanding into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
This funding marks a significant moment for India’s dairy innovation landscape, with Crèmeitalia’s approach aligning with the rising consumer appetite for high-quality, artisanal food products.
