History
Established in 1985.
Holy Cannoli was born as an idea by long-time Italian baker and owner of Bona Via Bakery, Nicola Chiaravalloti back in 1985 when the family first opened its bakery in Scarborough, Ontario.
Since that time, Nicola developed a family recipe after a personal trip to Sicily. For years, the whole family have listened to many of their clients tell them that «these are the best Cannoli I have ever had».
In 2013, it was decided to take the mouth watering Cannoli cream recipe and expand the product into a business and a brand.
Holy Cannoli Shells & Cream launched in September 2014 with their debut at Canada’s Baking and Sweets Show alongside her colleagues,
the Cake Collective. Their follow up appearances at the Delicious Food Show and the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo in 2014 were met with rave reviews and record sales.
Meet the Business Owner
Vanessa C.
Business Owner
Growing in the family bakery, Vanessa gained a knowledge and passion for business at an early age. After graduating with a BFA from Ryerson’s School of Image Arts in 2003 and spending over 10 years using that passion in the film and television industry, she decided it was time to carry on her father’s legacy, making some of the best Cannoli cream ever tasted. In 2014, with the support of her father, she launched Holy Cannoli Shells and Cream and hopes to bring this secret family recipe and delicious Cannoli to the people of Toronto.
