Adozinda Dutra made goat cheese for her neighbors in Portugal. When she moved with her family to Ontario, Canada, in the early 1980s, she was unhappy to see that Canada had very few sources of goat cheese. She bought a small goat farm and began making her own cheese.
With her son Tony and his wife Olga, she formed a small dairy and they began packaging and marketing the cheese in 1983. The product was successful and they purchased the Woolwich Dairy in 1989, which Tony and Olga continue to run today.
The main factory is located in Orangeville, Ontario, and the goat milk comes from only Ontario goats, with 200 individual farms producing milk for the now-booming dairy.
