I'm looking for interesting food gifts for Canadians, maybe sometimes for myself too.

 

So far I have successfully sourced locally farmed lamb, a couple fantastic locally made cheese collections, Kozlik's Mustard, and exotic Gaspé spice blends from Spice Trekkers / Épices de Cru. Sadly none of the prior eG recommendations for Canadian chocolate seem to still exist.

 

Suggestions? :)

 

P.S. I must be able to purchase these items from afar.

 

Will they be shipped within Canada? Which province? Some things would be a problem to ship outside of the country. 

 

Will they be for Canadians? I'm just wondering if things like Canadian maple syrup are desirable, it's pretty easy for Canadians to come by, but I've sent it to friends in Israel, ha. 

 

I like Saltwest for various products made from hand-harvested Canadian sea salt here on Vancouver Island and it's the type of thing that is easily shipped. 

https://www.saltwest.com/

 

There are lots of small farms that produce different things and their offerings can vary during the year. For example, here in the Comox Valley, Shamrock Farms currently has available goat milk soaps, lavender (including some culinary lavender) and seeds. 

 

I've never bought from them but Vancouver Island Gift Basket has gift baskets with locally made products. I recognize some of the products. 

 

Lots and lots of other things in various provinces and regions, but depends on what type of product and where you want to ship. 

 

For Canadian chocolate, I think @Kerry Bealis your best bet. There are commercial chocolate makers like Roger's and Purdy's but not sure that's what you are looking for.
