I'm in a small town in a remote area and so far I've had no luck sourcing fruit purees (such as boiron but brand doesn't matter, only quality) through our suppliers at the restaurant or through the local stores. I don't actually need them for the restaurant, they're for me personally, but I order things for myself through our suppliers now and then. I can't imagine that they can't find anything so I'm assuming they just haven't tried too hard but maybe that's being too cynical. Anyway, anybody know a mailorder source within Canada they'd be willing to share? I know L'Epicerie ships them but not across the border because they require overnight shipping in insulated containers.

Qzina is in Toronto and delivers to various areas, and I think would ship as well. Depending where you are the frozen puree may present a shipping problem however.

Thanks! After seeing your reply I searched for and found their website. I'm going to shoot them an email and/or give them a call after the long weekend.

...and perhaps Qualifirst, also out of Toronto. Too tired to plough through their catalogue right now, but I'm pretty sure I saw purees there.

Wow, thanks everybody. This place is way better than google. I searched every variation of fruit puree canada I could think of and didn't come up with any of these.
