Our Process

From raw ingredients to finished product

Trust is built in the kitchen, so here is ours: five steps, no secrets, no shortcuts. Scroll and follow a batch from the butcher counter to your table.

100% HalalCFIA CertifiedNaturally SmokedFresh, Never Frozen

Step 01

Fresh Halal sourcing

Fresh, Halal-certified Canadian meat from trusted suppliers, inspected piece by piece on arrival. If it would not pass at a Tehran master butcher, it does not enter our kitchen.

Nothing arrives frozen, nothing is refrozen

Step 02

In-house preparation

Trimming, grinding and emulsifying happen in our own CFIA certified facility, in small controlled batches. No pre-made pastes, no outsourced steps.

Made from scratch, every single batch

Step 03

Persian seasoning

Our signature spice blend is sourced directly from Iran and weighed by hand for every batch. It is the soul of the DEMES taste and the reason our jambon tastes like home.

Step 04

Natural smoking & cooking

Products hang in the smokehouse over real wood smoke, slowly, then are fully cooked to safe core temperatures. Slow smoke builds flavor that liquid shortcuts never reach.

Step 05

Sealed, chilled, delivered

Every product is sealed, labelled with full traceability and kept between 0 and 4 degrees from our facility to your counter. Cold chain, never freezer.

Fresh across the GTA, never frozen

Why “never frozen” matters

Freezing is the enemy of texture

Freezing breaks the fine emulsion that gives jambon and mortadella their smooth, dense bite. That is why DEMES products move through a strict cold chain instead: chilled from the moment they are sealed until they reach your counter. You taste the difference in the first slice.
