Fresh corn tortillas

In Vancouver, most commercially available tortillas are made from refined Maseca corn flour, often derived from hybrid and GMO corn, and packed with preservatives that compromise both flavor and health benefits. These mass-produced tortillas typically emit a strong, vinegar-like odor from chemical additives and offer a flat, texture-less culinary experience.

Our tortillas set a new standard. Crafted in East Vancouver, we use only heirloom corn varieties sourced from small-scale farmers across the esteemed regions of Estado de Mexico, Tlaxcala, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. This diverse sourcing allows us to capture a spectrum of flavors and textures, showcasing the rich terroir of each area.

Utilizing the traditional process of nixtamalization, our corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, which enhances its natural flavors and nutritional content. This method not only preserves the integrity of the corn but also enhances the bioavailability of essential nutrients like niacin and proteins, and introduces additional calcium from the limestone water used in the soaking process.

Our commitment to non-hybrid and GMO-free corn not only supports healthier eating but also promotes sustainable agriculture, ensuring that each tortilla is as wholesome as it is delicious. Unlike the quick and cold industrial processes that define our competitors, our tortillas are the result of a time-intensive labor of love, where every batch is a celebration of culinary heritage.
