This question is directed to folks living in the Ottawa area. This product is one that was sold by Costco but they haven't carried it lately. Does anyone know where I can buy it? It is labeled "D'Isigny Whipped Cream "Tradition" with Madagascar Vanilla and comes in an 8.8 ounce ca. It is apparently a product of Normandy, France. It is great stuff, does not have junk in it and doesn't deflate when you plut it on something. I know I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where. if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you!

It's back, in a double pack for 8 or 9 dollars.
I used my previous can 6 months after the expiry date and it was still great.
You are close to their head office, so they should be able to direct you to it.

I was at Costco today (Merivale Road and Hunt Club) and didn't see it. Where did you see it?

Thanks!

Sorry, the double pack they have was a local product. My mistake.
However they have fresh vanilla beans, and whipping cream at $5/liter, so making your own is an easy project.

Who are "they"? Is it another Costco? I know I can make my own but the beauty about this can is that it is REAL whipped cream and with just two of us, I only use a little at a time. This particular brand doesn't collapse on itself unlike the other brands in the dairy case of your local supermarket.

Did you ask your local Costco if they'll be carrying it again? The stores have that kind of info--if the product will be discontinued or if (and when) it will be restocked. No harm in asking, anyway.
