Interview with Razan Al-Sous, Founder of Yorkshire Dama Cheese

In this episode of The Anglo-Arab Voice, Nour Ghanem interviews Razan Al-Sous, founder of Yorkshire Dama Cheese.

Razan came with her family from Syria to the United Kingdom in 2012. Despite her degree in pharmacy, she could not find a job in the U.K., and she was worried about her children’s future. However, despite many obstacles, Razan did not give up and decided to start manufacturing halloumi, a popular Syrian cheese, using British milk. She named her business Yorkshire Dama Cheese.
