The Craft Behind the Lobster Oil
Our Story
Born from the legacy of Vancouver’s iconic restaurant, The Cannery, Olive & Ciboulette Lobster Oil was developed by Chef Frédéric Couton.
Trained in Michelin starred kitchens across France and Bangkok, where he cooked for the King and Queen of Thailand, Frédéric blends global techniques with local Canadian ingredients to create a lobster oil that elevates seafood and everyday dishes alike.
Made with fresh Canadian lobsters and no added preservatives, each bottle delivers pure, gourmet flavor. Keep refrigerated or frozen for optimal freshness.
