Annapolis Fine Cheeses

Nestled in the lush, rolling landscape of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, Annapolis Fine Cheeses is a family-owned creamery dedicated to the belief that the world needs more local. We craft premium, artisanal cheeses that marry global sophistication with the pure, rich bounty of our home, using 100% Nova Scotian milk to capture the unique terroir of our region.

Inspired by the nearby orchards, world-class wineries, and historic farms, our production process remains rooted in the time-honoured French and Swiss traditions. Every wheel is artisanally crafted in small batches, ensuring that our uncompromising global standards are met with the freshest local ingredients.

The Masters Behind the Craft

Our commitment to excellence is led by a team whose expertise is as rich as our cheese:

• Catherine Keeler, Head Cheesemaker: Trained in the heart of France, Catherine brings a master’s precision to our facility, translating European techniques into unique, Nova Scotian expressions.
• Gina Haverstock, Innovation Lead: A renowned winemaker with a background in biochemistry, Gina brings a sophisticated palate to our team, curating novel ingredient and flavour combinations that pair perfectly with our local vintages.
• Sean Myles, Founder: With a passion for cheese sparked during his youth in Switzerland, Sean spearheads our traditional Alpine-style creations, ensuring every bite reflects the heritage and spirit of the Valley.
