About Us
Established in 1985
Our Origins
From Modest Beginnings
Established in 1985, Holmestead Cheese Sales began with its founders, Nick and Susan Tziolas, literally going door to door to sell their Feta and educate consumers about their product.
Understanding the need for quality ethnic food in Nova Scotia, Holmestead’s founders began importing quality Mediterranean foods into the province, supplying restaurants, stores and wholesalers with their products and eventually opening their own retail location connected to the production facility.
Using traditional hands-on production techniques passed on through generations of cheese-makers, Holmestead Feta maintains an authentic flavor distinct from other varieties available to Canadian consumers.
The Largest Independent Cheese Producer in Nova Scotia
Family Owned & Operated
From these modest beginnings. Holmestead has grown into one of the largest Feta cheese producers in Canada.
Due to increasing demand for our products, Holmestead’s facilities are expanded regularly. Warehouses, walk-in coolers, and loading docks now surround the production facility which takes in 14000 liters of Nova Scotian fluid milk every week.
Holmestead Cheese Sales has grown organically to become the largest independent cheese producer in Nova Scotia, supplying wholesalers and restaurants across Canada.
