Acton, Ontario — MK Kosher is proud to welcome Ovino Sheep Yogurt to the MK Kosher family — marking a historic milestone as the first kosher-certified sheep yogurt in Canada.
This certification opens a new chapter for the Canadian dairy industry and for consumers seeking premium kosher-certified products made right here in Ontario.
By earning kosher certification from MK Kosher — Canada’s kosher certification agency, Ovino is bringing a fresh, rich, and health-conscious dairy choice to kosher consumers across the country.
The Story Behind OvinoLocated in Acton, Ontario, Ovino operates on a serene family-run sheep farm, surrounded by rolling fields and clean air — an ideal environment for producing superior sheep’s milk.
Founded with a passion for quality, Ovino’s owners wanted to offer Canadians a natural dairy alternative that’s both delicious and easier to digest. Sheep’s milk yogurt is creamier, naturally rich in nutrients, and contains proteins that many find gentler than cow’s milk.
Ovino’s philosophy is simple: keep it local, natural, and wholesome. Each batch of yogurt is crafted with care, without unnecessary additives, ensuring the pure taste of Ontario sheep’s milk shines through.
Becoming kosher certified represents more than just a label for Ovino — it’s a reflection of their commitment to transparency, integrity, and inclusivity in food production.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ovino as the first kosher-certified sheep yogurt in Canada,” said Mani Dienna, Rabbi, Ontario region at MK Kosher. “Their dedication to quality and their responsiveness made this certification possible in record time. It’s always rewarding to help Ontario food producers open new doors in the kosher market.”
When Ovino approached MK Kosher, they needed certification quickly to meet growing retailer and consumer demand. Within under one week, MK Kosher’s expert team reviewed their processes, verified ingredient sources, and completed full kosher certification — maintaining the highest standards in the industry.
