Holiday Tourtière is Back at Les Amis du Fromage

The GOODS from Les Amis Du Fromage

Vancouver, BC | Our Holiday Tourtière is ready for sale. It’s available at the East Van store now, and will be available at the Kitsilano store starting Friday, after 2pm.

Tourtière can be traced back to the 1600s, when Québécois settlers attended midnight mass on Christmas Eve and celebrated afterwards with réveillon, a late-night festive feast fit for a king. Four centuries later, the pie remains a staple dish both at réveillon and in Québécois households. Although recipes vary, the basic ingredients are the same: a buttery pastry shell is filled with spiced meats and vegetables, and then baked until the crust is golden and flaky. Our is made using a 50 year old family recipe. We use 100% local pork that’s hand-cut, not ground. Simmered with potatoes, onions and spices for several hours, it’s a special treat for the holiday season.

We only make it once or twice a year during the holiday season, so pick one up before they’re gone.

It’s available in two sizes: Sm $12.50 / Lg $38.00.
