Helping families eat real, honest tortillas again, made from whole Canadian corn instead of processed flour.
Walk down any grocery aisle and most corn tortillas start the same way: dried, processed corn flour, rehydrated and pressed into shape. It is fast and easy to produce, but the nutrition, texture, and flavor whole corn naturally carries gets stripped away long before it reaches the shelf, and rarely comes back. Families reaching for something they believe is wholesome are often getting a shortcut instead, one that has simply become the industry norm
Our founders built a landmark St. Thomas food restaurant on the same conviction driving this one: real ingredients, honestly sourced, honestly made. In 2026, that business was named in Ontario's Local Food Report and recognized as a Foodland Ontario member for its shift to fully local corn sourcing. That same commitment now drives Maize Boreal forward, from whole Ontario corn to the tortillas on your table.
Maize Boreal is a Canadian company with one simple belief: the food we grew up trusting should not be harder to find as adults. Maize Boreal exists to bring authentic tortillas back to the dinner table, made from whole corn instead of flour, made honestly, made locally, and made to be checked.

As more Canadians choose local, we break down what real Canadian sourcing looks like, from the field in Southwestern Ontario to the finished product.
Why the Southwest Ontario region is one of the best places in North America to grow the corn that goes into your food.
A look at how whole Ontario corn becomes the tortillas on your table, without giving away the family recipe.
Maize Boreal processes whole, Canadian-grown corn into 100 percent natural, gluten-free tortillas, starting with our Sierra Morena line, with more corn-based products to follow.
This corner of Southwestern Ontario has some of the most productive corn-growing farmland in the country, which lets us keep our supply chain short, local, and easy to trace from field to finished product.
