Krinos Canada: A Legacy of Greek Cheesemaking, Crafted for Canada


Updated over 2 months ago


When it comes to authenticity, Krinos Canada is a name that stands tall. The story begins with John Moscahlaidis, a visionary from Greece, who saw the potential to bring the rich culinary traditions of his homeland to North America. In the 1960s, he expanded Krinos into Canada, becoming the largest importer and distributor of Greek foods on the continent. With a strong presence in Montreal and Toronto, Krinos quickly became a household name—synonymous with the best of Greek food and Mediterranean flavours.



As the company grew, it continued to evolve, driven by the same passion for quality and authenticity. One key chapter in the Krinos story came with the expertise of Manolis Georgantelis, a skilled cheesemaker from Greece, who brought his knowledge and love for feta cheese to Edmonton. With a mission to create the finest feta, he helped establish Krinos as Canada’s first producer of organic feta, using premium Canadian cow’s and goat’s milk from local farms.



Krinos has always been committed to staying true to Greek cheesemaking traditions, while embracing the best of Canada’s agricultural resources. With every batch of feta, Krinos blends heritage with innovation. One standout example of this commitment is the Feta Multi-Pack—two individually vacuum-sealed 100g servings without brine, keeping the cheese fresher for longer. It’s this blend of authenticity and modern thinking that has made Krinos a trusted name in Canadian kitchens.



Today, Krinos Canada has grown into a thriving operation, with a state-of-the-art facility and a dedicated team of artisans who carry forward the vision of John Moscahlaidis and the craftsmanship of Manolis Georgantelis. The company’s commitment to quality has earned national recognition,
 
including a gold medal for the best feta in Canada. From feta to other authentic Greek products, Krinos continues to provide Canadians with the finest Mediterranean flavours, all crafted right here in Canada.



What started as a family-driven dream has now become a Canadian success story, and at Tre'dish, we’re proud to share this rich legacy with you—bringing the flavours of Greece straight to your table.
