City
Flavour partner for Ottawa brands
Ottawa-Gatineau's food and beverage scene is anchored in craft brewing and distilling, specialty bakeries, and a growing wellness and functional-beverage segment. The bilingual market means brands often need both English and French regulatory and marketing assets from launch.
We deliver fully bilingual documentation as standard for NCR clients and adapt formulations for the regional palate when needed.
