Sitting around the fire with great friends, good drinks and amazing conversation demands so much more than grocery store ham and cheese slices on a plate. You deserve better and after years of study (heck we even went to school to learn everything about cheese), we KNOW better.

the story of the block co
MEET TROY
TROY | FOUNDER & OWNER
The Block Co. was born from my passion for food, wine, entertaining, cheese and great conversation with friends, new and old. A self-proclaimed foodie if you will.
I left my career in the restaurant industry and was a stay at home dad for almost a year. That was the hardest job I ever had! I decided it was time to open my own place. I started working on my business plan for a coffee shop with a private chef in the back room for private food experiences.
While working on it I would have a glass of wine and my favourite snack: cheese and sub-par charcuterie. It was so hard to find good charcuterie and cheese unless you made the big trip out to a cheese farm or to Mennonite owned shops.
At that moment, it clicked. So, I started sourcing out charcuterie and cheese. I went back to school to study cheese. (I’m not even joking – I literally went to George Brown College and studied Formagia)
I was all in.
Introducing, The Block Company. A place I can share my passion for fine cheese, amazing charcuterie and a place designed to feel like home.
