Where can I find SaltSpring Kitchen Co. products?

Our full collection is available here in our online shop, and for local stores to satisfy your cravings more quickly, check our store locator here. You can also visit our new Tasting Room at the Jam Factory.

How can I find out which stores have the product I’m looking for?

Every store carries a unique selection of our products. Some carry our whole line while others carry different selections. If you're looking for something specific, it best to call ahead to make sure they have what you are looking for. 

Are you open to the public?

Yes! come visit our Tasting Room at The Jam Factory at 319 Upper Ganges Road on Salt Spring Island, BC. You can find details or get in touch here.

Tell me about food safety.

How long are your products good for?

Our products carry a Best Before Date to indicate the period of optimal quality. This is not an indicator of food safety.

Once opened, we recommend consuming the product within 90 days for best quality—but always check for signs like changes in smell, appearance, or taste before consuming.

Are your products vegan?

Yes, mostly! Your avocado toast will never be the same. Don’t worry. We know vegan is different than gluten-free. We use certified vegan sugars, and with just a few exceptions, everything we make is vegan.

The wines in Apple & Fig Spread and Cranberry, Sour Cherry & Port Preserve aren’t certified vegan, they use non-vegan friendly fining agents in their filtering process. We use honey in our Charcuterie Mustard.

Are your products free from gluten?

Except for the Heather Ale in our Charcuterie Mustard, none of the ingredients we use are known sources of gluten.

Do your products contain nuts?

We don’t use peanuts or tree nuts in our production facility, and we regularly check our ingredient supply.

We can’t completely guarantee the absence of traces, so please take that into account if you have a severe allergy.

If I have questions about my order?

How can I cancel my order?

Just hit reply to your order confirmation email, and we'll help you out.

What if I receive the wrong product?

Just hit reply to any email from us and we'll help you out. You can call us if that's easier for you too.

ps. This is like our least asked question, not a frequently asked question, we just want to make sure you know we're here for you. :)

Do you offer exchanges for faulty items?

Of course. Just hit reply to any email from us or give us a call.

What about product care & returns?

How do I care for my product?

Keep your jars cold, and your serving utensils clean! No double dipping.

Store your unopened jars and bottles in a cool, dark place, but don't push them so far back in the pantry that they stay hidden.

When you open them, keep them in the fridge. It's best to scoop what you want out onto your dish, your plate, or a serving dish when you're making a cheese board, to avoid cross contamination.

They're best when used within 90 days of opening.

How do I return my product?

We don't offer returns, but if you ever have a quality issue, something doesn't arrive in the condition it was meant to, or a question about something, please let us know so we can help!
