At Sanagan’s, one of our core values is to support creativity and development. Over the years, this has meant many things, including specialized training for our staff, introducing new prepared food ideas, establishing an Ontario cheese program, developing charcuterie recipes, creating new marinades for our meats, and creating a specialty grocery line. We are happy with how these initiatives have matured through the years; here are some examples of what you can find in our stores.
This program, developed and managed by our Charcutier Scott Draper, has evolved over the years to include many products and recipes that at one time were staples in French, German, and English butcher shops.

Pâté de Campagne: Classic country—style pork terrine

Exclusive to Sanagan’s in Toronto, we offer different types of dry cured and smoked products made from the prized Mangalitsa Pig, a Hungarian breed known for its fat content, making it ideal for charcuterie. The pigs are raised by Barna Bakai, a farmer in the Niagara Region, who brings his meat to be cured and smoked at a few different producers in Ontario, depending on the style of charcuterie.
HERE A SELECTION OF SOME OF THE PRODUCTS WE OFFER:
Prosciutto: Dry cured ham
Lardo: Dry cured fat from the belly, perfect for draping over hot toast
