The first Empire Cheese Factory was built in the late 1870s on the farm of John Haig who was the first cheesemaker. The second cheese factory was built just to the east of the present factory. Some of the cheese makers in that plant were Tom Naylor, Charles Stephens, Jack Kitchen, Bob Maybee, and Les Shillinglaw. In the fall of 1952 the Kimberley Cheese Factory burned and in 1953 Empire and Kimberley amalgamated forming the current Empire Cheese & Butter Co-op. That same year, the current cheese factory was built with Les Shillinglaw as the cheese maker. Les was followed by Don Pollock. Our current cheese maker is Mark Erwin.

Allan is amazing as a salesperson because, he’s very friendly, polite, and always takes his time to explain the origin of the cheese that he offers to you. He never rushes you to make a speedy decision; he is very patient. Allan is someone that every establishment would benefit to have as an employee. My favourite cheese(s) are the ones from France. They are so special because they are so flavourful. I have nothing; but, positive reviews from the Global Cheese store in Kensington Market.
