SaltSpring Kitchen Co. FAQs – Gourmet Preserves, Jams & Hot Sauces

Most! All of our products are gluten-free except for our Charcuterie Mustard, which contains barley in the ale. But everything else is gluten-free.

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 nut free?

Yes, our facility does not process or have on site, tree nuts or peanuts, and all of our products are nut free.

How long are your products good for?

All of our products have a best before date of 18 months after they're made, and they ship with at least a year of this remaining, though often longer.

After you open them, we suggest enjoying them within 90 days.

Where can I find your 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.

Can I fly with your preserves?

If you're checking a bag, you can take as many jars home as you like. They're considered liquid, so not permitted in the cabin. Both our regular jars (270 mL) and small jars (125 mL) are higher than the 100 mL allowed in a carry-on.
