Some of the best cheese in Oxford County is made just outside Mount Elgin, by a family that’s been perfecting the craft for generations — long before they ever set foot in Canada.
New Galma Dairy & Creamery is owned and operated by the Zeldenrijk family, who specialize in locally made Dutch-style cheese. Their Gouda is farmstead cheese, meaning it’s made entirely from milk produced on their own farm rather than shipped in from elsewhere. That short distance between cow and creamery is part of what gives their cheese its character.
Whether you consider yourself a cheese connoisseur or you simply appreciate the finer things in life, New Galma invites you to explore their selection and experience the kind of artisanal craftsmanship that comes from doing things the traditional way. Every wheel tells a story of tradition, innovation, and the simple joy of good food.
New Galma has also recently added something new to their shop: full-fat 4% milk, available for purchase right from the farm.
Visitors to Discover Rural Oxford, running September 15–17, 2026, will get the chance to sample some of New Galma’s award-winning cheese in person — a great introduction if you haven’t tried it yet, and a great excuse to stock up if you have.
If you’d rather experience it on their home turf, New Galma Dairy & Creamery welcomes visitors to their farm and shop at 284059 Daniel Road in Mount Elgin, Ontario. You can also browse their full product line, including their seasonal and flavoured cheeses, at newgalmadairy.ca.
However you get there, one thing’s for sure: it’s always a Gouda time at New Galma.
