City
Flavour partner for Charlottetown brands
Charlottetown is PEI's centre for craft brewing, distilling, specialty bakery and value-added Island food production. PEI brands punch well above their weight nationally — and the Island's local-food culture sets a high bar for clean-label, naturally-flavoured products.
A project brief for Island-scale berry drinks, dairy and confectionery should identify the product base, processing conditions, intended market and flavour target.
Charlottetown's producers carry PEI's food reputation — potatoes, dairy, mussels, lobster — into value-added products sold well beyond the Island. The local scene is small but ambitious: craft breweries and distilleries, specialty bakeries, and dairy processors whose ice cream and butter products trade on Island quality.
Sectors we serve in Charlottetown
Charlottetown project possibilities: berry, botanical. Specify pH, sweetness, carbonation and heat treatment before comparing flavour candidates.
Charlottetown project possibilities: cream, yogurt, ice cream. Compare candidates in the actual fat level and process, including pasteurisation or freezing where relevant.
Charlottetown project possibilities: bakery and confectionery. Assess flavour after baking and through the intended shelf life; clarify allergen and label constraints.
Charlottetown project possibilities: savoury foods. Define salt, fat, cooking conditions and label goals; verify suitability in the finished recipe.
Charlottetown project possibilities: plant-based foods. Evaluate the protein base, off-notes and desired flavour in a bench trial rather than assuming masking or texture results.
Charlottetown project possibilities: e-liquids. Ask whether a candidate is available and appropriate for the intended PG/VG base and market; food use does not establish inhalation safety or legal suitability.
Charlottetown project possibilities: livestock feed. Specify species, life stage, feed processing and proposed dose; assess intake in an appropriate trial without assuming performance gains.
Charlottetown project possibilities: pet food. Define species, format and in-mix or surface application; test acceptance rather than treating palatability as assured.

Frequently asked questions
Which applications can I discuss for my Charlottetown project?
Explore applications including Beverages, Dairy, Bakery. Share your recipe and process to discuss a suitable profile. Available formats and documents must be confirmed for each reference.
How quickly can a sample reach Charlottetown?
For delivery to Charlottetown, confirm product availability and a destination-specific dispatch and transit estimate with the Edmonton office; provide Charlottetown receiving address and small-batch order size. Timing depends on the selected product and transport arrangements and is not guaranteed. Confirm sample availability and any applicable costs before dispatch. The minimum production order is 5 kg.
Do you work with small Charlottetown brands or only large processors?
Both. We support emerging Charlottetown brands from the 5 kg production minimum upward, then scale with the same technical contacts across Prince Edward Island. Manufacturers throughout Atlantic Canada get the same bilingual support.
Can Island-scale producers order economically from Charlottetown?
Production MOQ is 5 kg. Calculate finished units from the proposed dose, then compare ingredient usage, storage life and freight to the destination; a small finished batch is not necessarily economical at every dosage.
What should I clarify for supply flavours for PEI dairy and ice cream producers?
For PEI ice cream or yogurt, provide fat level, culture, heat process and storage conditions. Compare cream, fruit or vanilla candidates in the finished base, including frozen evaluation where relevant; performance needs testing.
Do you ship flavours directly to Charlottetown?
For delivery to Charlottetown, confirm product availability and a destination-specific dispatch and transit estimate with the Edmonton office; provide Charlottetown receiving address and small-batch order size. Timing depends on the selected product and transport arrangements and is not guaranteed. Share your delivery address and required documents so our Canadian office can confirm the arrangements for your selected reference.
What should I check for Canadian labelling?
Request the ingredient, allergen and declaration information for the selected flavour. The appropriate label wording depends on the specific ingredient and finished recipe; have your regulatory reviewer confirm the declaration for your product and market.
What's your minimum order quantity?
The minimum production order is 5 kg. Evaluation samples are separate from production orders; confirm sample availability, any applicable costs and pricing for your selected reference with our Canadian office.
