The Leading Commercial Cheese Provider Across Canada
Based in the Okanagan Valley – Castle Cheese is a trusted name in shredded blends and cheese alternatives. Our products are proudly available coast-to-coast, serving all major food service providers across Canada.
WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY
We are 100% Canadian Family owned and operated. The genesis of Castle Cheese began in 1981 when our founder Bill Boyko relocated from Vancouver to Vernon BC and established a small wholesale cheese business. From humble beginnings, the business slowly grew over the years.
In 1997 Castle Cheese was born out of an idea to provide high quality and attainable cheese products to Canadians. By 2004, Castle Cheese had outgrown its original 6000sq/ft Vernon location. In 2005 we moved into our newly built state-of-the-art facility located 15 minutes east of Vernon in the village of Lumby. With persistent growth thanks in part to our ingenuity and quality we have added multiple additions to our facility and now presently stand at more than 30000sq/ft. Today Castle Cheese is run by the 2nd generation of the Boyko family.
