Frequently asked questions

Everything is made by hand in small batches in our own Calgary kitchen, and we’ve been family-owned since 2002.

We don’t take shortcuts. Our stocks simmer for most of a day, and we cook everything the way we would for our own family.

Yes. Our soups, stews, sauces and prepared meals are built from scratch on our own slow-simmered stocks — the same stocks and reductions we sell on their own.

Everything is made in our own kitchen in Calgary, Alberta, as it has been since 2002.

Yes. We use real ingredients, and the ingredient list on every container is short enough to read.

We cook from real ingredients in small batches, using traditional methods. Every product’s full ingredient list is printed on its label and available at our market stalls or on request, so you can see exactly what goes into each tub.

Our bone broths are slowly simmered for nourishment rather than speed, and we start with better raw material — organic chicken and grass-fed beef. We also make a chocolate bone broth, which is not something you’ll find in many places.

All three are dairy free and gluten free, and sold in 1 L tubs.

Our soups, stews and chili come in 1 L tubs — enough for a family meal or several portions to keep. Sizes for other products are shown in-store.

Every product on this site carries the same dietary badges we print on the label:

• GF — gluten free
• DF — dairy free
• V — vegetarian
• VG — vegan

You’ll see them on every card on our products page.

54 of our 77 products are gluten free. That includes every bone broth, stock and reduction, all three pestos, all of our vinaigrettes and marinades, and both compound butters.

Look for the GF badge on our products page.

32 of our 77 products are dairy free — including every bone broth, stock and reduction, the beef and chicken gravies, and three of our four stews and chili.

10 of our products are vegan: Borscht, Vegetable Medley soup, Vegetable Stock, Pizza Sauce, Bruschetta, Hummus, Pico de Gallo, Salsa, Chili Mango Tango Salad and Oriental Citrus Salad.

Look for the VG badge on our products page.

Yes. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan options run right across our range rather than being kept in a separate line.

A family-owned Calgary food company. Stock & Sauce was founded in 2002 by two mothers who wanted wholesome, handcrafted food for their growing families, and grew into one of Calgary’s trusted producers of premium soups, bone broths, prepared meals, sauces and specialty foods.

Since 2002. We cook for families, shops and restaurants across Alberta.

Yes, and always has been. Kari and Phil Faba are still the people behind it.

Scale, mostly. We’ve stayed small-batch and handcrafted rather than moving to large-scale production, which is what lets us keep using real ingredients and traditional methods.
