Spice Mix - Bacon Pepper

A spice blend made with real bacon and dune pepper, to sprinkle on as a finishing touch for a smoky note. Dune pepper is the male catkins of green alder (Alnus crispa), hand-picked on Indigenous land: they bring lemony, woody and resinous notes.

Épices du Guerrier is a First Nations company based in Québec City. Daniel Picard, who comes from the Huron community of Wendake, founded it in 2017 with his partner Patrice Dion. According to the maker, this blend is suitable for keto diets.
