The idea for Calda Home was born one winter evening at the local curling rink during their annual holiday party. Dinner was pizza — but by the time everyone gathered, it had gone cold. The conversation slowed, the laughter faded slightly, and Chris and Antonia realized something simple yet powerful: food sets the tone for every gathering.

For over twenty years, Chris built and led a thriving software company in the mining industry, while Antonia managed operations alongside him. Through countless projects, long hours, and shared wins, they discovered that the best moments always happened around the table — over good food, laughter, and connection.
