Today we thought we’d feature an other episode of Epicuria FAQ addressing some of the most Frequently Asked Questions in the shop. Today’s query – “what does GF, DF, V and BB mean on your labels?”

Good question!

As many clients have specific dietary concerns we mark products to help you understand which of our products would fit your specific needs. We cover some of the largest dietary requests with simple coding to help make shopping easier.

GF – Gluten Free. This product contains no gluten, this includes, but is not limited to wheat.
DF – Dairy Free. This product contains no dairy products; including cheese, butter, milk, cream, eggs and other common dairy items.
V – Vegetarian. This product contains no meat, but may include dairy products or eggs.
V + DF – Vegan. This product is plant based; it contains no meat or dairy.
BB – Best Before. Sometimes we run out of space, so we abbreviate “Best Before” using only BB.

When in doubt about a specific ingredient or allergen, please ask. Our online store has a complete list of ingredients for your review, in light of both sensitivities and personal tastes. If we need to we will hunt down the recipe to ensure your personal safety and wellness. As food professionals we know that the food you eat has a massive impact on your health, and it’s our goal that it be a positive one.

And now you’re in the know!

Taking this photo we realized we need to add a vegetarian modifier to the Caramelized Onion Dip. So now we’re in the know! 😁

Still open, regular hours, Monday through Saturday with COVID 19 protocols in place. Stay safe and stay WELL!

What a week. We know there is a lot of concern ove

What a week. We know there is a lot of concern over how the current state of emergency in Ontario and associated lockdown measure will affect our business. Rest assured, we will be open our regular “pandemic hours” (Monday – Friday 10 – 5:30 & Saturday 9:30 – 4:30). As an essential service it won’t impact us as much as our colleagues, friends and neighbours with cafes, restaurants and retail businesses. What a year it’s been!

A neighbourhood note; just as spring is busting out of it’s shell, one of our favourite floral resources must close it’s doors to foot traffic. @moodmossflowers does all of the amazing floral displays and planters you see in the shop. Now forced to curbside pick up only, Mood Moss has a shop filled with plants & cut flowers - looking for good homes! If you’re itching to get out in the garden, please consider Mood Moss as your local supplier and give them a call at 613-741-1774.

Every time we see lockdown measures go into place we see a spike in sales from our pastry department, because those small comforts mean so much in stressful times! Keeping you fed and happy, our amazing pastry chef Kristie has some fresh, delicious offerings this week that include: a Strawberry Crumble Galette, Dark Chocolate Cranberry Coconut Oatmeal Bars and along with our classic Lemon Squares... LIME SQUARES (so good!).

We’re here... with sugar... when you need us. Stay safe.
