Trevor Thomas, ACS, CCP, will join us in-store from 3pm to 6pm to sample delicious cheeses from around the world. Plus, earn 20% Calgary Co-op Bonus Cash on all Deli Cheeses – for one day only at Midtown.
Trevor has spent his entire working life in the cheese industry. He started in a local cheese shop while attending college to become an architect. Needless to say, designing cheese displays became more interesting than designing buildings.
This first job led him to a better position at Nob Hill Foods, a 29 store supermarket chain based in Gilroy, CA. By the time Raley’s Supermarkets of West Sacramento purchased Nob Hill Foods in 1997, Trevor had worked his way up to Director of Delis.
Trevor worked for Raley’s for another seven years before leaving the retail side of the business to become a specialty cheese broker, where has love for the cheese industry grew.
In 2013, he accepted a job with Lactalis American Group to cover their Southwest Territory. Trevor’s passion only grew from there, as he became an American Cheese Society, Certified Cheese Professional; Authored a book on Lactalis’ 25 PDO Cheeses; was inducted into the Guilde des Fromagers and volunteers on the IDDBA Cheese Merchandising Team.
In 2019, he started a cheese blog www.cheesetraveler.com
