The “Italian Room”

We proudly offer a selection of unique pasta and pasta sauces imported straight from Italy, along with flavorful pesto and bruschetta. Our pastas come in a variety of beautiful colors, and once boiled, they retain their shape and vibrant hues, making them a stunning addition to any dish.

For those with gluten intolerance, many people find they can enjoy our Italian pastas, as they are made with different flour and water compared to what’s used in the U.S. However, we do not recommend them for those with Celiac Disease. 

For gluten-free options, we offer delicious gluten-free pastas, also imported from Italy. And don’t forget to try our Taralli crackers, another Italian treat that’s perfect for snacking!

Sweet Revenge BBQ Company

Sweet Revenge BBQ Company, located in New Carlisle, Indiana, is a veteran-owned establishment renowned for its gourmet barbecue sauces crafted from natural ingredients.

Their mission is to inspire cherished moments by bringing people together through exceptional barbecue flavors. Canal Street Market is proud to carry their delicious BBQ sauces.

Midwest Fresh Bacon Jam

Midwest Fresh, based in Marion, IN, was founded by Chef Kevin Grider as a restaurant consulting business. With his collection of signature sauces and recipes, Chef Kevin played a key role in the successful opening and revitalization of several restaurants.

While consulting, Chef Kevin realized that his signature sauces had the potential to become household staples. He quickly started bottling these sauces, using real ingredients sourced from Indiana, and began selling them to retailers throughout the state.

Today, Kevin’s dream is alive and well, as Midwest Fresh is on its way to becoming a beloved brand, not only in the Midwest but beyond. At Canal Street Market, we’re proud to carry a variety of Midwest Fresh products, including one of our favorites: the Fresh Bacon Jam!

The Pickle Sauce

Based in Austin, TX, The Pickle Sauce combines fresh chopped dill and garlic with their famous brine and secret spice blend to create a one-of-a-kind sauce. We love using it on fresh veggies and salads, along with adding it to deviled eggs.

Its bright and crave-able flavor makes it ideal for a chicken or pork marinade or as a dipping sauce.

Runamok Syrup

Runamok Maple Syrups, based in Fairfax, Vermont, is renowned for its pure, 100% Vermont maple syrup. They also offer unique varieties like their Sparkle Syrup, which adds a touch of magic to any dish.

This FDA-certified syrup contains pearlescent mica, creating an enchanting shimmer without altering the rich maple flavor. It’s perfect for transforming pancakes into delightful treats for children or adding an elegant shine to cocktails for adults.

At Canal Street Market, you can explore Runamok’s range of artisanal syrups, enhancing your culinary creations with their exceptional quality and innovative flavors!
