Herbs

Our herbs are hand-picked according to the seasons by our valiant warriors who come from
from different regions of Quebec. For example, Dune Pepper reaches its peak after the first frost.

Dune pepper was once used as an infusion by the First Nations to fight certain flu symptoms and we use it today in our recipes to add a little peppery and boreal touch. Its rich taste develops over the course of cooking and will add exquisite flavours to all your dishes.

The balsam myrtle was once used by the First Nations as an insect repellent and for many other medicinal purposes. In our blends, we use only the catkin for its lively, powerful and unique aromas.
