In Gaspé, some products tell a story. A story of the land, the seasons, and the traditions passed down through generations.
The products of SIGEWIGUS are among them.

Among them, maple syrup entirely harvested, produced, and processed on Gespe’gewa’gi, the ancestral territory of the Mi’gmaq of Gespeg, embodies this deep connection between flavors and the land.

Inspired by Indigenous traditions and the Gaspé territory, these products feature local ingredients, carefully processed. Each flavor evokes the forest, wild berries, and northern plants, in an approach rooted in respect for the environment and traditional knowledge.
