Première Moisson Walnut Sourdough Bread

Première Moisson is a renowned artisanal bakery brand that originated in Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1992 by the Colpron family, the brand established itself through a commitment to traditional sourdough techniques and the use of local ingredients, such as the Quebec wheats highlighted on the packaging. The product shown is a Walnut Sourdough Bread (Pain au levain et noix de Grenoble), which is characteristic of their specialty bread line marketed for its lack of preservatives and high fiber content.

In 2014, a majority stake of the company was acquired by Metro Inc., a major Canadian food retailer. By 2017, Metro Inc. took full ownership of Première Moisson. Today, the products are manufactured in Canada, primarily serving the Quebec and Ontario markets through dedicated bakery boutiques and Metro-owned grocery banners. The brand remains a major symbol of Quebec's artisanal baking heritage while operating under large-scale corporate ownership.
