Made by Hand
Many cultures have those “labour of love” traditional dishes - think fresh cabbage rolls or from-scratch ravioli. Bitterballen is a communal food to both make and eat, and we remember growing up sitting around the kitchen table rolling batches of bitterballen by hand with family. We have approached our product with the same hand-crafted process and we know you’ll be able to taste the love.
Locally Sourced
It all begins with great ingredients. We have locally sourced our ingredients to give you the best taste and quality possible. We believe that supporting local producers is important, and maintaining strong relationships with our vendors is how we contribute to a thriving Canadian food industry.
Meant to Share
The Dutch call it “borrel hapjes”, which is essentially the phrase used to describe the snacky finger food served at an informal social gathering. Drinks are served, and memories are made. Our bitterballen can be eaten any time, anywhere, but they are best enjoyed in the company of family and friends, old and new.
