Specialty Food & Grocers Picks

SaltSpring Kitchen Co. has been making gourmet jams, preserves, and hot sauces on Salt Spring Island since 2012. Our Specialty Food & Grocer Picks are the products best suited for shops where customers are already looking for something a little different—cheese counters, specialty grocers, gourmet markets, and food-focused independent retailers.

These selections pair beautifully with cheese, charcuterie, fresh bakery goods, and seasonal produce. They support condiment category sales, anchor a curated cheese counter, and give specialty food customers a reason to add another item to their basket. The flavour profiles work for both everyday entertaining and elevated meals at home, making them a strong fit for shops that specialize in great food.

Specialty food customers are often early adopters of new flavour combinations, which makes this channel an ideal home for our more unique pairings of fruit-and-herb preserves, sweet-and-spicy combinations, and savoury preserves that are great on their own or added into glazes, vinaigrettes, and other cooking.

We work directly with specialty food and gourmet grocers in regions our distributors don't serve, with regional distribution available through Lekker Foods in BC, Custan Foods in Ontario, and Pratts Food Service in Alberta. To be notified about new flavour launches, seasonal availability, and promotional opportunities, join our retailer email list.

All SaltSpring Kitchen Co. preserves are made in small batches on Salt Spring Island, BC, by a woman-owned, values-led company.
