About Elola

Our Story

A remarkable geographic setting, natural raw materials, and traditions passed down through generations — this is where Elola was born. In 2003 we became the legal successor and owner of Goris Cheese Factory OJSC, renaming it Elola CJSC in 2004 and carrying out a full capital renovation and technical re-equipment of the plant. Elola's cheese factory is located in the Verishen community of the Goris sub-region, Syunik Province. Operating in the alpine zones of the Syunik highlands, we work with milk-supplying farmers who source their livestock feed from these very areas. Our production processes are overseen by highly qualified specialists who are regularly trained both in Armenia and abroad, in cooperation with internationally recognized companies in cheese production.
