In time for Día de los Muertos coming up on November 2, Alimentaria Mexicana will be baking up pan de muertoevery day from Saturday, October 29 until Wednesday, November 2.
El Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated to honour and pay respects to lost loved ones, and pan de muerto is traditional Mexican sweet bread customarily made at this time of year to eat and leave at homemade altars as an offering (ofrenda) for departed friends and family. Alimentaria Mexicana also invites the community to leave an ofrenda for their loved ones at their Día de los Muertos altar located in their Mercado.
How to Order: Only available by pre-order through Tock, with pick-up at Alimentaria Mexicana (1596 Johnston Street on Granville Island). Each order costs $11 and includes four freshly-baked individual-sized pan de muerto, with notes of orange and a sugar top, in a characteristic shape that resembles a Calavera.
