Aroma Truffle Chips was founded in 2018 in Singapore and has a reputation for being the World’s Strongest Truffle Chips. Made with 100% naturally grown truffles that are harvested and air-flown from Spoleto, Italy to Singapore, each potato chip is hand cooked and generously crowned with truffle bits, and then sealed in a sturdy resealable bag to ensure optimal freshness, aroma and crispiness. 

These are currently available online at www.aromatruffle.ca and have been carrying three truffle chip flavours – Original, Parmesan Cheese and Honey Dijon. Recently, they have launched a new flavour Fiery Mala in Canada. Truffle Popcorn is another new product in two flavours – Original and Messy Choco. We were gifted all these to try and provide an honest review.

Taste Test

Aroma Truffle Chips: Original

The original Aroma truffle chips is the one that started it all. It’s a best seller and I can see why. Once you open the bag, the smell is dominant. The use of the ruffled potato chips helps to add more crunch and more surface area for the yummy truffle seasoning. If you haven’t tried their chips yet, you gotta add this to your cart. It’s addictive!

Aroma Truffle Chips: Parmesan Cheese

The combination of truffle parmesan, and finished off with a hint of dill does clash. It definitely wasn’t my favourite as the dill was very strong for my tastebuds and the truffle and parmesan didn’t shine through as much as I would have liked.

Aroma Truffle Chips: Honey Dijon

Similar with the above, the truffle, honey dijon and mint felt like it clashed as well. The mint was a very surprising taste as I personally feel like mint just tastes like toothpaste. I wanted the honey dijon to stand out a little more.

Aroma Truffle Chips: Fiery Mala

The boldest flavour out of the bunch and the mala does tingle the tongue. It would actually pair really well with a glass of ice cold beer, but it feels saltier compared to the other flavours.

Aroma Truffle Popcorn: Original

This new line of black truffle popcorn really elevates the popcorn experience. It’s interesting to see the dried parsley added into this to give it a colour. You can munch on it to your favourite movie. The truffle is strong by very nice. Similar to the chips, there is a hint of sweetness at the end but it works.

Aroma Truffle Popcorn: Messy Choco

I was very curious about this flavour, but it works. You get the dominant flavour of the cocoa, then the aroma of the truffle. All while having the crunch of the popcorn. You get the texture and flavour that does pair well. I was pleasantly surprised.

Spring is finally in the air, and with that comes brighter days, vivid tastes and budding colours. And if a bit of colour is what you are looking for to brighten your spirits, we have just the thing: introducing the NEW limited-edition flavour, Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale – a distilled flavoured gin with a vibrant twist. 

Tanqueray is adding this new flavour just at the right time. Berry flavoured gin has seen a rise of 133 per cent from last year and accounts for 26 per cent of the total flavoured gin category. And now with Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale in the mix, its flavour profile is rich and fruity, offering subtle sweet notes of vanilla with floral tones on the finish, all balanced by the four classic London Dry botanicals for a truly sumptuous taste. It makes for the perfect ingredient to elevate the flavour profile of any traditional cocktail.

And it doesn’t stop there! Its violet-hued colouring mimics the soft pastel colours of the season, making it almost too pretty to sip, but don’t let that hold you back from enjoying at your next spring-fling.

Tanqueray’s limited-edition Blackcurrant Royale flavour hits shelves this Spring, and to get you excited about the sophisticated creations you can make with it, some cocktail inspiration below:

  • Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale and Lemonade: A luxurious yet refreshing twist perfect for a backyard party with friends.
  • Royale Spritz: With wedding season around the corner, celebrate the bride-to-be in style with a sophisticated take on a classic spritz. 
  • French 75: This spin on a traditional French 75 blends Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale Distilled Gin, lemon juice and prosecco for an added zing!  

Today, Danone Canada has redefined the plant-based category by launching Nextmilk™ under the Silk Canada brand – a new dairy-free beverage with a flavour profile and texture that is so tasty and creamy, consumers won’t believe it’s plant-based. As the leader in plant-based beverages in Canada, Silk’s Nextmilk™ product offering will help dairy-loving consumers overcome plant-based barriers while prompting further choice.

“Over the past three decades, Danone Canada’s Silk brand has pioneered a plant-based revolution through its broad range of delicious and innovative consumer offerings,” says Jeremy Oxley, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Danone Canada. “However, despite all the extraordinary momentum in the category, 60 per cent of Canadians are reluctant to try plant-based beverages as they feel the taste differs too much from the products they’re used to [1]. With Silk Nextmilk™, we’ve been able to develop a product – made of a high-quality blend of plants – that delivers on the key taste and texture attributes of dairy milk that consumers know and love.” 

With an array of consumer offerings in both the dairy and plant-based product categories, Danone holds a unique and unmatched position to understand, innovate and adapt to consumers’ evolving needs and preferences. During its robust research and innovation process to develop Silk Nextmilk™, the company engaged its dairy experts to analyse the classic dairy drinking experience and design a specially formulated product that met dairy-lovers’ taste expectations. This included analysis of milk’s molecular composition and iconic sensory experience to ultimately reconstruct a plant-based product that mirrors the flavour profile and mouthfeel of dairy.

“Silk Nextmilk™ is the result of two years of relentless and unwavering innovation, testing and creative application from Danone’s Research and Innovation team which has unparalleled expertise in both dairy and plant-based beverages,” says Pierre Morin, Vice President of Research and Innovation at Danone Canada. “During the recipe development process, we thoroughly studied the beloved dairy taste attributes and engaged in robust testing, trying out hundreds of high-quality plant-based ingredient pairings to best recreate the taste of dairy. What we have been able to achieve is a versatile product that most closely mimics the taste of dairy milk so that whether consumers want to enjoy it in their coffee, with their cereal, or in recipes, plant-curious dairy lovers can easily add it to their shopping list.”

Silk Nextmilk™ is now available in the refrigerated section at major retailers nationwide. Silk Nextmilk™​ is an excellent source of vitamin B12 and riboflavin, a good source of calcium, and a source of vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc and fibre. It contains 3 g of sugar per 250 mL and is a non-GMO Project verified product. It is free from lactose, gluten, carrageenan and artificial colours and flavours.

Canadians can now enjoy the unique taste of Indonesian highland tea in the comfort of their own home! Walini Tea, a household Indonesian tea brand since 1998, is available at 500 grocery stores across Canada and online via Archipelago Marketplace

“We are thrilled to bring Walini Tea to Canada,” says Liza Wajong, Co-Founder of Archipelago Marketplace, the authorized agent for Walini Tea in North America. “Archipelago strives to offer Canadians an authentic taste of Indonesian culture, and Walini Tea makes a great addition to our line-up of exciting, high quality products.”

Tea lovers can find Walini Tea in the International Foods aisle of 500 Loblaw locations across Canada, including the Real Canadian Superstores in Metro Vancouver.

Starbucks is kicking off the new year with the launch of its winter menu, arriving in stores today (Tuesday, January 4th), featuring the returning Pistachio Latte, back by popular demand for its second year.

Pistachio Latte 

The Pistachio Latte features cozy flavours of sweet pistachio and rich brown butter paired with espresso and steamed milk, specially crafted to keep coffee lovers comforted in the new year.

The Pistachio Latte can be ordered hot or iced at stores in Canada for a limited time while supplies last. Learn more about the inspiration behind this returning fan-favourite beverage.

Taste Test

We tried out the Pistachio Latte and it was ok. I would suggest adding an extra shot of espresso so the coffee can shine through the sweeteners. You get a lot more flavours when it’s hot

You can enjoy the brink hot, iced, or blended. Also modifying the drink to have oat milk instead of milk is another good option.

It is a ubiquitous drink, seen in Canadians’ hands at any time of the day, no matter the weather, no matter the occasion. 

But as popular and beloved as coffee is, it can also be improved with the right concoction. When marking National Coffee Day on September 29th — and International Coffee Day on October 1st — warm up hot coffee with some Irish Whiskey, and make refreshing coffee cocktails easy with Jameson Cold Brew

Jameson’s triple distilled smoothness is a perfect pair with the richness of coffee. Made from 100 per cent Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia, Jameson Cold Brew is an ideal drink, whether sipped neat, poured over ice or as an ingredient in a cocktail.

Celebrate National Coffee Day with some of these tasty cocktails: 

Jameson Cold Brew on the Rocks

Simple, yet elegant and delicious. Put two or three big ice cubes in a rocks glass, pour in 1 ounce of Jameson Cold Brew and enjoy! 

Jameson Cold Brew with Tonic

Fill a large tumbler with ice, then add 1 ounce of Jameson Cold Brew and fill the glass with tonic. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Jameson Cold Brewtini

A classic with a Cold Brew twist. In a mixing glass with ice, stir 1 ½ ounces of Jameson Cold Brew to 1 ounce of cold brew coffee and a ½ ounce simple syrup. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Jameson Knight Rider

A perfect pick me up that is ideal for coffee lovers. In a cocktail mixer, pour 2 ounces of Jameson Cold Brew, 1 ounce Kahlua, 4 ounces of cold brew coffee and three dashes of chocolate bitters. Shake and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. 

Jameson Cold Brew has intense coffee-bean aromatics, with chocolate, caramel and vanilla nuttiness, complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and roasted coffee notes. On the palate, it is a perfectly balanced combination of smooth Jameson Irish whiskey and natural cold brew coffee. It’s a mellow mouthfeel with notes of toasted oak and dark chocolate. The finish is smooth and dry, lingering on the palate.

Nespresso Canada has just launched their new limited edition Ispirazione Italiana capsules for their their original line of machines. Discover the richness of Italian history with our two new limited-edition coffees. These distinct espressos were inspired by local master roasters who refined their art over time, catering to evolving tastes.

Traditionalists will appreciate Ispirazione Novecento—an intense espresso with nutty and spicy notes, while modernists will enjoy the brighter, fruiter notes of the new millennium with Ispirazione Millennio.

Ispirazione Novecento

An intense coffee with a heavy body, raw spicy and nutty brown notes and a dense, dark crema. This coffee is roasted using the split roast technique. The arabicas in this this 100% unwashed (natural) blend are roasted dark and short, while the Robustas get a medium and longer roast.

Ispirazione Millennio

A well rounded and pleasantly intense coffee with spicy notes, fine acidity and a hint of fruit. Ispirazione Millennio is roasted using the split roast technique. The Indian beans are roasted separately, dark and short, while the other origins are roasted together on a slightly lower temperature – to preserve some of the fruitiness – but also for short time.

Hop Valley Brewing Co has created their latest Bubble Stash IPA with Cryo Hops. I’ve never heard of Cryo Hops before, so it definitely peaked my interest.

Cryo Hops are the concentrated bittering and oil containing portion of the hop. It gives the beer a strong flavour and aroma in the beer.

This smooth-drinking IPA has tropical flavours that uses the power and innovation of Cryo Hops to bring natural blueberry, tangerine and stone fruit characteristics to new altitudes – without the bitterness.

Taste Test

My personal taste preference is light and effervescent beers, so I really wanted to know if the bitterness of the IPA could be tamed. As I took a few sips, I instantly noticed the bright and fruity notes. It definitely isn’t bitter but still holds true to what and IPA should be.

If you see this in store, definitely check it out.

Opus has created a cocktail in a can that empowers drinkers to choose a drink that fits their mood and preference in the moment.

As a mom, I definitely ordered a lot of non-alcoholic beverages when I was pregnant. I really wanted a drink, but responsibilities.

Created by an Internationally award-winning team and founded by Christos Kalaitzis, Opus is a ready-to-drink handcrafted cocktail that features high quality, all naturally crafted flavours and real ingredients, available in both alcohol and alcohol-free variations. Inspiration behind the non-alcohol cocktails came when he was behind the bar noticing more and more patrons asking for non-alcoholic drinks disguised as alcoholic drinks, and he wanted to create an option that was better than sugary sodas, water and lime.

Kalaitzis decided on the two Opus cocktails after surveying top bars and mixologists in Vancouver on the most popular and most ordered drinks.

Opus is available in two flavours and in both alcohol and alcohol-free variations.

Gin and Tonic

This is a refreshing Spanish-style gin & tonic, handcrafted aromatic bitters made with real spices and notes of fresh cucumber, blood orange, lime and fresh mint leaves. Solid taste and the alcoholic and non-alcoholic tastes pretty much identical.

Aperitivo Spritz

This has a unique bittersweet European aperitivo with notes of fresh seville oranges, grapefruit, rhubarb, handcrafted aromatic bitters made with real spices and Prosecco. A good balance of flavours to remind us of the hot Summers day even when we are working from home.

Final Thoughts

It’s great that Opus cocktails have zero sugar, zero carbs, low calories, gluten-free, and the choice of alcohol-free. Another great option for those opting out of alcoholic beverages for whatever reason and it tastes just the same.

Of the two drinks, we preferred the gin and tonic as we didn’t like the aftertaste of the Aperitivo Spritz.

With the 2021 Stanley Cup® Playoffs underway, Canadian hockey fans are cheering their team towards victory. Just as the players dream of winning the Stanley Cup® and celebrating with the iconic tradition of drinking beer from its bowl, fans can’t help but envision themselves doing the same. With the Molson Canadian Stanley Cup® Batch, this dream can feel one step closer, as fans have the chance to sip beer kissed by the Cup. 

Accompanied by Phil Pritchard, the Hockey Hall of Fame’s curator and official Keeper of the Cup, Molson Canadian welcomed the Stanley Cup® into the Molson Brewery. Following strict sanitization protocols, some fresh Molson Canadian from this limited batch was passed through the top bowl of the Cup during the brewing process so that this Playoffs season, Canadians can have the chance to celebrate like their hockey heroes – getting their own small taste from Lord Stanley’s Cup™. 

“In a Playoff run unlike any before, with the North Division having showcased Canadian hockey excellence in all its glory over the past several months, we wanted to create something unforgettable for Canadian hockey fans,” says Joy Ghosh, Senior Brand Director for the Molson family of brands. “Drinking from the Cup is a special moment for players. Yet sharing that feeling with the fans has never been done before, until now. The Stanley Cup® Batch takes the passion Canadians have for our game and our beer to the next level.” 

The Molson Canadian Stanley Cup® Batch is available in unique, specially designed 6-pack bottles reminiscent of the Stanley Cup® and its flight case at select local beer and liquor stores across Canada, excluding Quebec, while supplies last. This exclusive batch is only available for a limited time and in limited quantities, so fans need to act quickly before it’s gone. 

I have been a fan of Boursin especially the garlic and fine herbs Gournay cheese, but whenever there is a plant-based alternative that comes into the marketplace, I need to give it a try. They were able to send me a few to give it a try to see how it compares.

Whether you are having a gathering or just making a little charcuterie board for yourself, you can make Boursin Dairy-Free part of that platter. They have been able to recreate the taste and creamy texture of the original dairy-based Boursin. It is a great option for flexitarians, vegans or people looking to reduce their dairy intake.   

Boursin Dairy-Free is great for those who have different dietary restrictions or just looking to make a change in their diet. Take note, Boursin Dairy-Free is:

  • Plant-based certified
  • Made with organic coconut oil
  • Dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free and soya-free
  • Non-GMO
  • No artificial colours or flavours
  • Kosher certified  

Taste Test

I am a flexitarian, so if it tastes great and the price is right, I’ll definitely consider adding more plant-based products into my life. I’ve essentially cut out a majority of dairy and replaced it with oat mylk.

I took the Boursin Dairy-Free and spread it on crackers and then sprinkled some fresh chives on top. It has the same crumbly texture but stay intact. There is a strong taste of the garlic, parsley, and chives, which is true to taste. If I did a blindfold test, I don’t think I would be able to taste the difference. Even though it is made with organic coconut oil, I didn’t taste a trace of coconut.

They did a great job and I would get this again.

Final Thoughts

Overall, it’s a great plant-based alternative that is near indistinguishable to the original Boursin. It’ll be interesting to see if there will be more flavours in the future.

You can find Boursin Dairy-free at most grocery stores across Canada. Besides being in grocery stores, plant-based restaurant chain Copper Branch is now offering it on a bagel as part of their new all-day breakfast menu. There is one on Nelson Street in Downtown Vancouver.

There’s a new chip in town in Canada- the limited edition Pringles Wendy’s Baconator Flavour Chips. It has layers of all the tastes of the famous Wendy’s Baconator in a crunchy snack. A must-try for any chip or burger lover! The masters of flavour at Pringles have teamed up with Wendy’s to create an insanely accurate and delicious one-bite Baconator taste experience.

This was launched in the US in the June of 2020 and now it’s available in Canada.

Wendy’s Baconator is a fan favourite, thanks to half-a-pound of fresh, never froze Canadian beef, melted cheese, six slices of Applewood smoked bacon, ketchup and mayo. Replicating this classic combo, the Pringles snacking journey starts when you peel back the foil to enjoy the aroma of beef, cheese and bacon.

Taste Test

The taste experience begins with the Applewood smoked bacon, followed by Wendy’s famous beef that builds to the combination of creamy mayonnaise mixed with ketchup. The final flavour is a balance of hamburger and savoury bacon with a toasted bun and that iconic Pringles finish.

They do nail the taste of the smoked bacon and has the tang to imitate the ketchup and the beefy umami taste. Pretty solid and we really did enjoy this.

Where to find Pringles x Wendy’s Baconator Flavour Chips

Now available in grocery stores across Canada for a limited time.

Visit www.pringles.com/ca/en/products/favourites/pringles-crisps-baconator-super-stack.html to find a retailer near you. 

HUVUDROLL is IKEA‘s plant-based meatball alternative made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion, and apples gives customers a familiar experience with the similar taste and texture to its meaty counterpart, just without the meat. 

The new plant ball has only 4 per cent of the climate footprint as the traditional meatball and contributes to the retailer’s ambition to become climate positive by 2030. The new recipe contains no animal ingredients, making it a delicious option for meat lovers, flexitarians, vegetarians, and vegans alike.

Canadians can now enjoy the plant ball at home – with frozen bags available for only $6.99 in Swedish Food Markets (located near the cash) nationwide.

The plant ball dish is also available for the same price at IKEA Restaurants across the country, classically served with mashed potatoes, broccoli, lingonberries and cream sauce. You can choose to dine-in or takeout, based on what’s available in their region and are advised to check online in advance to see what’s open at their local store. 

Taste Test

The cooking instructions were easy so you can cook in the oven or on the stove top. The texture is very nice and you won’t notice that it’s all plant-based. The taste does have a dominant mushroom aroma.

I was almost able to convince my husband that it was their regular meatballs if there was their signature gravy sauce. Other than that, it’s a great product and we would recommend it.

Purdy’s Chocolatier has launched their Gold Hedgehog along side their Milk Chocolate Hedgehog flavour.

What is the Gold Hedgehog made of?

The Gold Hedgehog has a chocolate shell is made of caramelized white chocolate with notes of toffee and toasted caramel, enrobing the classic hazelnut gianduja centre.

How much is the Gold Hedgehog?

  • Pack of 3: $5.25
  • Box of 10: $20

Taste Test

As the outer shell of the Gold Hedgehogs is made with caramelized white chocolate, I do find it sweeter than the regular milk chocolate hedgehogs.

The centre of the Hedgehog is still the same, so you will get the rush of delicious hazelnut chocolate inside. It’s still a good Hedgehog but it comes down to personal preference.

Kraft Dinner launched their super exclusive Candy KD for Valentine’s Day. They sent us a box and we had to do a review to see how it tastes. It is made with the iconic cheesy taste Canadians know and love with the pink Candy KD flavour packet that adds hints of sweet, sweet candy.

To make this special Candy KD, we boiled the macaroni, strained the water out, added the butter, added the cheese packet, and then this special candy flavouring packet.

Pretty simple and easy to make.

Taste Test

The colour turns into a dark pink and maroon colour once you add the Candy KD flavour packet. It works well for the Valentine’s theme, but plays tricks on my brain.

Upon first bite, my brain was a bit confused. It is cheesy but also tastes like sweet candy. For a savoury dish to become sweet really messes with my mind. It’s still edible but I wouldn’t want endless bowls of Candy KD.

The flavouring is colourful, so it will turn your teeth and lips a bit red too.

Final Thoughts

It’s a limited edition flavour thats super exclusive and fun to try. The rest of my family was grossed out and so was the rest of my Instagram followers.

It’s definitely still edible and fun to try for those who are Kraft Dinner fans.

Eggo has been part of my childhood, so seeing Eggo cereal in store is pretty cool and nostalgic. They are celebrating 50 years in Canada by introducing the new Eggo Chocolate Flavour Cereal featuring mini chocolate-flavoured waffle-shaped cereal pieces, dusted with a chocolate coating. The newest member of the family brings Eggo’s iconic, well-known, much-loved and delicious brand to life in the cereal aisle. 

We were sent a box to review from Eggo.

Eggo History in Canada

First introduced in Canada in 1971, Eggo disrupted the breakfast scene with its frozen toaster-sized waffles featuring a great tasting “secret formula” that made serving a hot breakfast both easy and delicious. The beloved brand quickly became a breakfast staple, and the unforgettable “L’Eggo my Eggo” slogan was introduced the following year. To this day, the majority of Canadians can properly complete this famous catchphrase. An international sensation, Eggo has introduced many different flavours and formats over the years, including the Canadian launch of the first-ever Eggo cereal – Eggo Maple Syrup Flavour Cereal – last year. And now, as it celebrates its 50th birthday in Canada, Eggo brings a new sweet and crunchy chocolate flavour to the cereal aisle with Eggo Chocolate Flavour Cereal. 

What’s inside?

It is made with whole grains and containing no artificial flavours or colours, the mini waffle-shaped pieces offer a chocolate flavour that doesn’t quit, and the unique waffle pieces stay crispy in milk. The final flavour surprise is revealed when the cocoa saturates the milk, leaving a bowl of delicious chocolatey cereal milk at the end.

Taste Test

The shape of the cereal is supposed to look like a waffle, but it somewhat looks like a honeycomb too. It has a dominant chocolate flavour and doesn’t get soggy quickly because of it’s thick size.

It is sweet but not too much compared to other cereals in the market. It’s a solid chocolate cereal, but nothing really screams Eggo except for the shape.

I do like this flavour a lot more than the Maple Syrup flavour.

Final Thoughts

It’s a solid chocolate flavoured cereal and it does stay crunchy for a while, which is good if you love the crunchy texture but slow at eating the bowl of cereal.
