Canadian Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are made for rich, savoury sides, and a finishing touch that brings them together. Cranberry Holiday is a 100% real butter finishing butter made in Manitoba, infused with cranberries, orange zest, herbs and warming poultry spices. Melt a medallion over the dish just before serving for a glossy, flavourful finish…
The wait is almost over: Von Slick’s online store reopens Tuesday, October 13, 2026. After closing the store in mid-April, we’re excited to start shipping our premium finishing butters across Canada again. The seasonal pause is necessary because Von Slick’s is a frozen product, and warmer temperatures make it too risky to ship butter through…
The best finishing touch is often the simplest one. A hot steak needs only a few seconds under a melting medallion of premium butter to become richer, more aromatic and unmistakably steakhouse-worthy. A tray of roasted vegetables turns glossy and savoury. Pasta becomes a silky, flavourful sauce. Even a humble bowl of Kraft Dinner can…
The turkey is handled. The sides are where the real planning begins. Mashed potatoes need more depth. Green beans need something beyond salt. Stuffing should taste rich and savoury, not dry. And somewhere between the carrots, corn, rolls, gravy and cranberry sauce, you need a simple way to make the whole table feel special. That…
Let’s be real: Wednesday nights aren't usually for five-course meals. Between work, the gym, and finally finishing that show everyone is talking about, "gourmet" often takes a backseat to "fast." But what if you could have both? At Von Slick’s, we believe that restaurant-quality flavor shouldn't require a culinary degree or three hours in the…
Let’s be honest: life is just better with caramel. But we’re not talking about that sticky, corn-syrup-heavy stuff you find in a plastic squeeze bottle at the grocery store. We’re talking about the deep, rich, slightly salty, and buttery glory that is Von Slick’s Salted Caramel Finishing Butter. If you’ve been treating butter as just…
Let’s be honest: standard breakfast is fine. A piece of toast, a bowl of oatmeal, maybe a stack of pancakes on a Sunday. It does the job. But "doing the job" isn't exactly why we get out of bed, is it? We want the indulgence. We want that "I’m on vacation at a five-star resort"…
There is a specific kind of magic that happens when high-quality fat meets the briny, sun-soaked flavors of the Mediterranean. It’s the kind of flavor that transports you to a seaside terrace in Greece or a rustic kitchen in Provence with just one bite. At Von Slick’s, we’ve captured that essence in a single, eco-friendly…
In the world of gourmet cooking, it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest impact. You’ve probably seen chefs on TV finish a dish with a mysterious dollop of something that makes the plate glisten and the flavors pop. That “something” is finishing butter, and at Von Slick’s, we’ve perfected the craft. While our…
If you’ve ever sat down at a high-end steakhouse and wondered why the meat tastes better than anything you make at home, I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s almost always the finishing butter. But at Von Slick’s, we didn’t just want to recreate the classic garlic butter. We wanted something with attitude. Enter…
If you’ve ever sat in a high-end French bistro, tasted a sauce that seemed impossibly deep and savory, and wondered, "How did they do that?": the answer is almost certainly Duxelles. Traditionally, a duxelles is a labor-intensive preparation of finely minced mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and herbs, sautéed until every drop of moisture is gone, leaving…
Let’s be honest: garlic is the backbone of civilization. If a recipe calls for two cloves, we’re all putting in six. It’s just the law of the kitchen. But there’s a level above raw garlic, a tier of flavor so mellow, rich, and sophisticated that it makes standard minced garlic look like a high school…
