Frequently Asked Questions


What exactly does Mondolat do?

Mondolat helps organisations set up or scale local, high-performance mozzarella, burrata and fresh-cheese production. We combine technical expertise, global partnerships and on-ground execution to deliver reliable processes, consistent products and commercially sound operations.

Do you build factories or just consult?

We provide end-to-end consulting and implementation support. While we do not act as a construction contractor, we work closely with engineering teams and equipment partners to ensure your plant is designed, installed and commissioned correctly.

What production scales do you support?

We support three pathways:

  • Artisanal setups (5–50 kg/hr)

  • Compact/SME lines (100–500 kg/hr)

  • Integrated semi-automated factories (1–5 MT/day+)

Each includes capex guidance, opex modelling and ROI scenarios.

What challenges do clients usually come to you with?

Most clients face one or more of these issues:

  • High dependence on imported mozzarella

  • Inconsistent stretch, melt or yield

  • Inefficient processes and high wastage

  • Unclear capex requirements

  • Limited technical know-how or training

  • Difficulty sourcing suitable milk or cultures

We address these challenges with practical, scalable solutions.


How long does it take to set up a mozzarella line?

Approximate timelines:

  • Artisanal setups: 4–8 weeks

  • Compact lines: 8–16 weeks

  • Integrated factories: 4–6 months

We streamline coordination between suppliers, installation teams and training to avoid common delays.

Do you support milk sourcing and formulation?

Yes. Milk chemistry is central to yield and product performance. We help assess local milk supply, refine formulations and improve consistency.

Can you help if we already produce mozzarella?

Absolutely. Many clients operate existing plants but want higher performance. We perform a structured diagnostic audit and create a targeted improvement plan.

Do you sell equipment?

We are brand-agnostic.
We help you select the right equipment based on scale, product goals and budget. We negotiate with suppliers, review layouts and support commissioning.


Do you offer ongoing operational support?

Yes. We provide periodic reviews, troubleshooting, product optimisation and performance monitoring as your factory grows.

Do you help develop products beyond mozzarella?

Yes. We support development of:

  • Burrata

  • Stracciatella

  • Ricotta

  • Fresh cream cheese

Product development is tailored to your market and distribution strategy.

Which industries do you work with?

We support:

  • Dairy processors

  • Food and FMCG companies

  • Pizzeria chains

  • Hospitality groups

  • Investors building greenfield dairy ventures

Can you help with market entry or distribution?

Yes. We advise on pricing, positioning, packaging and channel strategy for India and Southeast Asia.
