Traditional Grocery Picks

SaltSpring Kitchen Co. has been making gourmet jams, preserves, and hot sauces on Salt Spring Island since 2012. Our Traditional Grocery Picks are the flavours that have earned consistent reorders from grocers across the country, where customers are reaching for premium pantry options alongside their everyday shopping.

These flavours work especially well in deli and cheese sections, sweet preserves and jam aisles, and gift-focused end caps during the holidays. They cross over from specialty shopping to everyday baskets, supported by familiar flavour bases with a unique twist that gives customers a reason to choose us over standard jam.

For grocers, the goal is a blend of margin and velocity. SaltSpring Kitchen Co. has established repeat customers across BC and Ontario, and we're growing across the country with expanded distribution into the preserves and jams aisle alongside our work in deli and cheese sections. Our customers use our flavours from breakfast through happy hour, which means our products earn space in multiple sections of your store — pantry aisles for everyday baskets, deli and cheese counters for entertaining, and gift sections for holiday displays.

We work directly with grocers in regions our distributors don't serve, with regional distribution available through Lekker Foods in BC, Custan Foods in Ontario, and Pratt's in Alberta. To be notified about new flavour launches, seasonal availability, and grocery-specific 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.
