We have some incredibly exciting news to share, and we couldn't wait to write it down here on the blog. It’s official: Au Pralin spreads are now officially BuyBC certified! 🎉 🇨🇦

For a small, independent business like ours, earning this official Buy BC status feels like coming full circle. It’s more than just a badge; it’s a celebration of the community, the land, and the incredible local partners who make what we do possible.

Sourced Locally, Crafted in Small Batches

From the very first jar of Au Pralin we ever made, our philosophy has been simple: let the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. That’s why we have always sourced our hazelnuts from right here in British Columbia.

Every single jar we produce is crafted small batch by small batch, ensuring that the rich, natural flavours of BC’s finest orchards are captured perfectly.

A Love Story with Vancouver and Good Food

If you’ve been following our journey for a while, you might know that Au Pralin started with two people who met in Vancouver over a shared love of good food. Vancouver welcomed us with open arms, and as we grew our small-batch dream, we always wanted to find a way to give back to this beautiful province.

Earning this certification feels like the ultimate way to support the local economy and the region that has given us so much.

A Massive Thank You to Our BC Farmers & Community

This milestone isn’t just ours - it belongs to the amazing BC farmers and local partners we work with every week. Without their hard work and dedication to growing world-class ingredients, Au Pralin wouldn't be on your shelves.

We are also incredibly grateful to you - our community. Whether you bought a jar at a local market, ordered online, or shared a spoonful with a friend, your support has kept us going. You’ve helped two people who couldn’t stop chasing "the perfect spoonful" turn a passion project into a certified reality.

What This Means for Your Next Spoonful

The next time you reach for a jar of Au Pralin, you can dive in with absolute confidence. You’ll know exactly where it came from: fresh BC orchards, supported by local farmers, and lovingly crafted by two people dedicated to bringing you the best spread possible.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to many more delicious, locally sourced spoonfuls ahead!

With gratitude, 

The Au Pralin Team
