Elite Dairy Ltd.

Community-affiliated

Dairy manufacturer · GTA · Greater Toronto Area

A GTA dairy producer that has become one of the Macedonian community's most generous corporate friends: title sponsor of the 81st Macedonian Open golf tournament in 2025 and a major donor to Canadian Macedonian Place's ReImagine Gala, both under the Karkic family name.

Balkan-style dairy — feta, yogurt, kajmak — is a trade the region's families brought with them, and Elite Dairy carries it on at commercial scale. The society welcomes the family's own account of the company's story.
