Our Suppliers

S able Shortbread prefers to source our ingredients from local suppliers, organic producers and family/employee owned companies. We also try to support indigenous businesses and those owned by women, companies that engage in direct or fair trade, and/or serve a social purpose. Sustainability is important to us and we source organic ingredients wherever possible and use recyclable packaging for our products and try to use suppliers who engage in sustainable business practices. Here are a few of our key suppliers.

For over 35 years, La Milanaise has been providing Canadians with premium quality organic grains. During that time they have gained a reputation for their top-quality, specialty organic products. We share their passion for quality products and we use their wheat flour in our shortbread cookies.

We are proud to use sugar produced by La Siembra Co-operative, which was established in 1999. They were the first registered importer of Fairtrade Certified cocoa in North America. Today, they work directly with 18 producer co-ops, supporting more than 36,000 family farmers in 9 countries.

We use their sugar, cocoa and chocolate in our baking.

Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc., formed in 2001, is a leading provider of sustainable, environmentally and ethically responsible sweeteners. We use their sugar in our cookies; all their sugar is Organic, Fair Trade Certified, and Non-GMO Verified, and made from nature’s best resources. The Wholesome Sweeteners team pioneered the Fair Trade certification process for sugar in North America.

We use hundreds of kilograms of butter every year in our Canadian shortbread and we believe in using only Canadian butter. Plus, we buy local whenever we can, using butter from local farmers when it is available.

Some of our cookies contain eggs and we are just as picky about the eggs that go into our cookies as we are about the other ingredients. Whenever possible, we choose to buy our eggs from hens who roam on pasture and are fed organic feed.
