Rooted in tradition and made in Chiang Mai, Dofann brings a refined, French sensibility to Thailand’s growing cheese scene. Founder Brice Renaud was raised in a family of cheesemakers back in France, but is self-taught and has carved his own path here building an artisan operation from the ground up with just four staff, and a whole lot of care.
Dofann began with tangy, fresh goat cheeses, but now offers 18 varieties including rich raw cow’s milk cheese made with milk from a local co-op and regional goat farms, including the Royal Project. Each deliciously stinky wheel is made in compliance with Thai FDA standards, but the soul of the cheese remains distinctly handmade.
You’ll find Dofann at Ton Tung Market on weekends, or stocked at Rimping, Tops and Vivin Grocery in Bangkok. The cheeses are also favored by local chefs and boutique hotels, where their creamy and spreadable chèvres shine on curated menus. Simple, elegant and undeniably French, made with Thai terroir.
DoFann. Cheeses from B150. Sat-Sun 9am-2pm. Also available at select supermarkets and hotels.
