Start your morning the Island way 🧈 Shave a little of our butter and finish with Pacific Parmesan over warm @honey_grove_bakery sourdough, then top it off with a pinch of Maple Smoked Sea Salt from @vanislesalt . Simple, local, and quietly indulgent. Will you make it an anologue morning with a good book? 📕 #findnaturalpasturescheese #canadiancheese

Can’t behave with something this delicious!” 🥇 Vancouver Island Salted Caramel done the James way! 💯 Just made a fresh batch this morning at @avikcafe on West Broadway for you to get a scoop, pint, cone or a cup experience. For dining in, you can find this flavour at #michelinrecommended @socialcornerrestaurants both in Coal Harbour and Yaletown! @michelinguide 🥇 While the foundation of my flavour is making caramel by cooking it 13+ hours, THE STAR of my flavour is @vanislesalt with their flake sea salt from our pristine Pacific Ocean waters off Campbell River on Vancouver Island. It is all-natural and has the right balance of salinity to my home made caramel. Designing the flavour was never about how much effort and time goes into it, sure you can buy industrial prepared caramel or other salts, but for MY flavour and for YOU, I don’t take shortcuts to winning competitions around the world, why would I do that to you. 💯 My flavour story starts . . . * The flake salt from @vanislesalt , over the years, have learned to add it at a specific temperature during the heating process…..a fine line between achieving that sweet & Salty final balance. * No shortcuts, so learned from my Bella Gelateria days to take a specific brand of condensed milk, cook it for 13+ hours, resulting in the perfect balance of sweetness. Cooking it longer, it turns bitter (lessons I learned the hard way over the years). * The dance and balance of sweetness, starts with the condensed milk, but I learned how to blend 5 different sugars from 4 different countries adding to the body, creaminess and controlling the final sweetness. 🥇 I hope you agree quality matters! Honoured that I am often imitated, but truth be told I am NEVER duplicated. There is only one James, so I am proud to attach my name to this flavour for you! @avikcafe @socialcornerrestaurants 🥇 #sinfullydelicious #winnergelatomasterscanada #simplydelicious #canadiangelatochampion 🇨🇦 💚🤍❤️ 🇮🇹 “Il Gelato come una volta - Gelato the way it used to be”

New product drop! Vancouver Island based @oldhabitsfermentationco is paying homage to a 2,000 year old tradition with its insanely delicious fermented fish sauce using our all natural sea salt. After working in some of the world's top restaurants, founder Nathan Gawalko decided slow things down...literally. Every fermentation is aged between 12-24 months, Using Spring Herring, abundant with roe, results in a mild flavour profile that's both familiar and unique at the same time. Ingredients: Herring + Sea Salt (same recipe as the ancient Romans) Check out our Salt Shop (link in profile) and get your umami on!

Beautiful salt comes from this beautiful place 🇨🇦. We're blessed to have this rugged Canadian Pacific coastline with its fast moving currents. Our pristine ocean can take all the credit for the all-natural sea salt with trace minerals that our dedicated salt makers work hard to hand harvest. From our coast to your table, #saltlove! 🌊💙🌊

When @peacockbakehouse announced their 1867 Collection—featuring eight gourmet cookies made with all-Canadian ingredients—we knew it was going to be something special. And spoiler alert: it totally is. 🇨🇦🍪 Each cookie is crafted with care using ingredients from Canadian farms, foragers, and makers—from Niagara hazelnuts to Toronto bean-to-bar chocolate to (yep!) our very own #canadianseasalt . We’re honoured to be part of the Salted Caramel cookie—sweet, rich, and balanced with a hit of sea salt from the West Coast. 🌊✨ Just 100 of these Limited Edition boxes are being released across Canada, so don’t sleep on this one. 🧁 Full lineup: • Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut • Hazelnut Coffee Crisp • Salted Caramel (the star if you ask us) • Death by Chocolate • Wild Blueberry Grunt • Stuffed Housemade ‘Biscoff’ • Dark Chocolate Black Walnut • Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Support Canadian-made. Eat epic cookies. #canadiancollaboration #peacockbakehouse #cookielover #saltlove #canadianseasalt #1867CookieLove #madeincanada #luxurycookies #supportlocal #limitededitioncookies
