La pincée Été Nº7 · Fine & fancy blend for salads & starters

La pincée is the original idea of Catherine de Gongre and François Maisonneuve. The two collaborators first created spice blends to season their everyday dishes. Very quickly, friends and family also wanted to get their hands on these tasty and easy-to-use blends for everyday cooking.

Over time, Catherine and François developed La pincée as a true toolbox designed to offer countless variations of flavours and colours for any dish.

They carefully select their raw ingredients, many of which come from Québec producers, helping to promote and support the local economy.

Trained at the ITHQ and now a chef, Catherine designs all the spice blends and oversees production, sales, and procurement for the company. Meanwhile, François — artistic director and photographer — imagines the product design and develops the brand strategy, marketing, distribution, and administrative aspects.

This complementary and creative duo now offers a wide range of handcrafted spice blends made in Québec.
