Holmestead Cheese was established in 1985 by founders Nick and Susan Tziolas. After going door to door to sell their feta cheese, they began importing quality Mediterranean foods to Nova Scotia. They recognized a need for quality ethnic food choices. Now, Holmestead cheese is the largest independent producer of cheese in Nova Scotia, maintaining authentic Mediterranean flavour that customers are unlikely to find anywhere else.
Their cheeses are available to purchase in Sobeys and Loblaws, as well as in specialty grocers across Canada. Their flagship Feta cheese is still very much available in a range of sizes, as well as Greek yogurt, tzatziki, olives, olive oils, and a range of European and domestic cheeses. If you want to go directly to the source, you can also visit their retail location in the Annapolis valley.
