About Us

Carmelis is a family owned boutique dairy, which takes pride in the uncompromising approach taken to ensure the unique quality of its cheeses. The cheeses are produced on a small scale which enables us to closely monitor each and every cheese while placing an emphasis on our place’s design and its integration into nature, the landscape around us, and the quality of the environment.

We are located near Okanagan Lake, some 17 km south of downtown Kelowna, next to high quality wineries like CedarCreek Estate Winery and St. Hubertus Winery, and close to the entrance to Okanagan Mountain Park. We desire to impart a sense of the breathtaking views of the Okanagan Valley and the wineries spread throughout the area.

All of our cheeses bear the stamp of the research, zeal and commitment we put into our work. At our dairy, we chose to specialize in rich, complex and refined cheeses that render full justice to the quality of the milk and the art of cheese making. The cheeses are produced using traditional techniques learned during many visits to various areas of France in particular, and Europe in general. All of our cheeses are made from 100% goat milk produced on our sister farm in Agassiz, Mystery Meadows.
