About Our Factory

How long have you been in business?

The AGK Group of companies has been around for a while now. Mr. Abdul Gaffar’s father was the one who kicked things off with his livestock farm back in 1977. Since then, the Group has added numerous subsidiaries under its belt including AGK Landscaping, AGK Green Resources, AGK Dairy Fresh and yours truly, AGK Cheese Factory.

Where is your factory located?

Our new home and factory is located in Ara Damansara, in the state of Selangor. One of the many reasons we chose to set up the factory next to our headquarters, is so that we can monitor the products closely.

Where do you get your milk?

Our milk comes to us from a multitude of sources, and the milk we use will depend on the cheese we want to produce. Currently, the AGK Cheese Factory uses a mixture of fresh milk from our very own farm in Beranang, Selangor and Alor Gajah, Melaka in order to be true to the rich and authentic flavours of cheese.

Do you offer tours of your cheese factory?

We are closed for any tour at the moment. Feel free to get the info from our social medias.

About Our Products

What kinds of cheese do you produce?

We currently mainly produce a range of cheese from the pasta filata family (mozzarella, burrata etc.), but other varieties of soft cheese are also produced here.

Are your cheeses made from pasteurized milk?

Yes, all of our cheeses are made from pasteurized milk to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.

Do you use any artificial additives or preservatives in your cheeses?

Yes, we do use a bit preservatives in our cheeses to maintaining the quality and shelf life of our products. Without preservative, there is no way any cheese can last over 14 days except the aged cheese

How should I store your cheese?

Cheese should be stored in the refrigerator at temperatures below 4°C). It is best to store cheese in its original packaging or wrapped tightly in wax paper or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

What is the shelf life of your cheeses?

The shelf life of our cheeses varies depending on the type. Generally, harder cheeses like cheddar and parmesan have a longer shelf life of several months, while softer cheeses like brie and blue cheese have a shorter shelf life of a few weeks. It's important to check the packaging for specific expiration dates. 

What is the difference between buffalo and cow milk? Which is healthier?

Buffalo milk is known to have a higher fat, lactose, mineral, protein and vitamin content than cow milk. Research shows that while both milk are beneficial to us, buffalo milk has been known to support long-term bone health, provide a higher count of antioxidants, and reduce the risk of heart-related issues by lowering your blood pressure.

I’m lactose intolerant; will I have any problems if I consume any of your cheese?

The levels of lactose in each kind of cheese varies, as well as how a person reacts to consuming certain varieties, hence, we cannot give a clear-cut answer to this question. Being lactose intolerant, however, doesn’t mean you have to give up eating cheese completely. The general rule of thumb is that hard cheese tends to have a lower lactose count compared to softer ones.

How much milk is needed to make a kilo of cheese?

This can vary greatly depending on the kind of cheese you are making and what kind of milk you use. Typically, you would need on average about 10 litres of milk to make a single kilogram of cheese.
