Local Artisans 

 

Maple Syrup Artisan Umami Umami

Umami Crave The Fifth is a business run by two sister in laws, featuring three unmistakable products that are each dressings, dips and finishing sauces in one, and Maple Roch is proud to carry these amazing Okanagan products in store. 

“Umami is the fifth, little known youngest sibling of the four familiar tastes:  sweet, salty, bitter and sour.  [...] Umami Dressing, Dip and Finishing Sauce, known until recently as the “cider vin”, was actually created by Chef Justin Best, Stephanie’s brother and Joanna’s husband.  Justin encountered this style of dressing several years ago and has offered it on his menus to rave reviews ever since”.

Sage+Quartz is a natural, small batch, artisan skincare company. Every product is carefully formulated and hand crafted with love and intention.

We are proud to feature her maple skin care products at our store.

Granny’s Bakery in Summerland is an amazing local bakery here that is loved and cherished by local Summerlanders. We are so happy to collaborate with Granny’s to bring you our popular Maple Granola, which they skillfully prepare for us with our own Maple Roch maple syrup.

Maple Syrup Artisan Chocolate Premium Artisans Chocolate by Perry

We recently introduced Premium Artisans Chocolates by Perry. Perry makes a selection of high quality, fine, handmade chocolates with a hint of maple. Perry had worked in the northern region of Canada as a heavy duty mechanic, but his true passion is chocolate. One day he decided to leave his position to pursue his passion, which is making the finest chocolate that needs to be tasted to be truly appreciated.

We are excited to collaborate with La Pincée to offer a variety of maple-infused bbq rubs and spices.
