Made by Hand in Small Batches Here in Northern Ontario

Small batch is not a slogan for us, it is how every jar is made. A look inside how North Channel crèmes come together by hand in the Sault.

North Channel started small, at local markets and by word of mouth here in the Sault. It is still made the same way today. By hand, in small batches, with a close eye on every jar.

Small batch, start to finish

Making things in small batches means I can keep the quality where I want it. Nothing is mass produced, and nothing leaves until it feels right.

  1. Render and blend the grass-fed tallow until it is soft and light.
  2. Blend in the botanical oils and other simple ingredients.
  3. Fill and label every jar by hand.
  4. Pack each order with care before it heads out.
