About Cordon Bleu

Cordon Bleu is a Quebec food maker based in Anjou, in Montreal's east end, since 1933. It is behind familiar pantry brands such as Clark beans and Paris Pâté spread, along with canned stews that many Quebec families grew up with.

These are the kinds of foods that turn up at camp, at the cottage or on a busy weeknight, when you want something quick and comforting. Clark beans are a classic at a sugar shack-style breakfast at home, and Paris Pâté is a lunchbox and toast staple. It suits anyone who likes old-school Quebec comfort food.
