Founded in 2020 and based in North Vancouver, Smart & Local Food Corporation began as a collaboration between a seasoned chef and a mechanical engineer, aiming to craft clean-label, restaurant-caliber sauces using local ingredients. Their product line, A Very Good Pasta Sauce, is proudly BuyBC Certified and made entirely in Canada.
They offer four varieties packaged in convenient pouches that preserve freshness without sacrificing taste:
- Tomato — Classic, vibrant sauce made from ripe, local tomatoes with bold, clean flavour and no added sugar or preservatives.
- Bolognese — Hearty meat-focused sauce, simmered with ground beef and pork, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs.
- Alfredo — Silky and smooth sauce, crafted from real cream and Parmesan cheese for a rich indulgence.
- Rosée — Perfect balance between the brightness of tomato and creaminess of Alfredo, with a subtly tangy finish.
