Where does your pork or beef come from?

Currently all of our pork is sourced from Bear Flower Pork Farm which focuses on raising free-range, happy pigs. Our beef is sourced from Gemstone Grass Fed Beef. All suppliers are within a 200km radius from our production facility.

Are you gluten free?

We are a dedicated Gluten Free facility. Heck, our CEO is Celiac- so we can promise you we will never use gluten or any fillers.

All of our unopened products have a minimum of 6 months, with most around 1year as long as refrigerated. If opened, we recommend eating within one week to avoid oxidation, or vacuum with a food-saver.

What is your shelf life?

All of our Calgary deliveries are hand-delivered by our team on Wednesdays and Fridays. We require a minimum 1 business day to process the order, so if there is a specific day you require your order by please email hello@vdgsalumi.com.

All of our Alberta shipping will be shipped after 1-2 processing days. Time in shipment is expedited shipping during business days, and is usually 1 day. We do not ship over weekends as we do not want the product to be stuck in transit.

At this time due to Government regulations we cannot ship outside Alberta, however we are working to change this.

Do you use Nitrates / Nitrites?

Yes we do, and here is why : there is no heat treatment or pasteurization step applied to our products, so by law we have to use nitrates in our product to prevent bad bacteria from growing. We do use the minimum amount required by for our products.

Most commonly, on nitrate free advertised products, they use celery salt, or beet salt in lieu of the “curing salts” as celery salt has natural nitrates in it.
