Valley Lahvosh Baking Company, Inc.

Valley Lahvosh Baking Company is a family-owned specialty bakery founded in 1922 by Gazair Saghatelian, a master baker from Armenia, and currently operates under the third generation of family leadership with Agnes Saghatelian as President. Based in Fresno, California, at its original historical location, the company specializes in producing traditional Armenian lahvosh crackerbreads and various artisanal bread products. The bakery is renowned for its signature heart-shaped crackers, along with rounds, stars, cinnamon hearts, minis, Christmas trees, and seasonal pumpkin-shaped crackers. Valley Lahvosh maintains its commitment to traditional baking methods while incorporating modern production techniques, including a T.L Green oven installed during facility expansion in 1985. The company serves both retail and foodservice markets through direct-to-consumer online sales via their e-commerce platform and wholesale distribution. Their products are kosher certified and the company operates as a co-manufacturer for private label crackerbreads. Valley Lahvosh has built a strong reputation in the specialty food industry for quality, consistency, and innovation while preserving authentic Armenian baking traditions. The bakery's tagline 'The Bakery with a Heart' reflects both their signature heart-shaped products and family-centered approach to business. They maintain an active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Yelp, and continue to expand their product offerings while staying true to their heritage of creating delicious, quality bread products that have been a family tradition in taste for over 100 years.
