Boccalino Dressing and Dip

In 1987, Chef Ernst Huerlimann and his wife Mary realized their dreams and opened a swiss restaurant in Canmore, Alberta. With so many outdoor enthusiasts among its inhabitants who were looking to fuel up with quality food that tasted delicious, the restaurant was an instant hit — especially the swiss style salad dressings.

 The dressings became so popular, that “swiss dressing” as it became known around town, became its own separate hustle under the name Boccalino Grotto Fine Foods. The restaurant was sold so that Chef Ernst and Mary could focus on their salad dressings fulltime and give the people what they craved.
