Haig's Delicacies

What Haig's Delicacies does

Haig's Delicacies is a family-owned artisanal Mediterranean food company founded in 1956 by the Takvorian family in San Francisco, California. The company produces a line of approximately 17 mezé (small plate) SKUs organized into three product families: classic Dips & Spreads (including Classic Hummus, Spicy Hummus, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Muhammara, Mediterranean Beet Dip, Spicy Feta Dip, Tzatziki, Mediterranean Yogurt Dip, Baba Ghannouge, and Yogurt Shallot Dip), an Organic Delights sub-brand of USDA Certified Organic hummus variants, and a Snacks & Minis line offering single-serve 2oz cups and cracker-paired snack boxes. Production relies on traditional family recipes and artisanal preparation methods, with products handcrafted using fresh, all-natural ingredients and no preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. The portfolio carries multiple certifications including Non-GMO Project, Kosher, USDA Organic, Vegan-friendly, and Gluten-Free (product-dependent).

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model: retail grocery and specialty food shop placement across the United States, foodservice B2B sales (including custom formulation for restaurants and hospitality operators), and direct-to-consumer e-commerce through its Squarespace-hosted website. All operations are run by three members of the Takvorian family with a total headcount of 1-10 employees. Marketing relies on website content, an email newsletter signup, and a store locator tool; no paid digital marketing or social media presence is indicated in the source material.

The business is privately held with no external institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no public listing, and no recent M&A activity. Revenue is not disclosed. The company has longevity (approximately 70 years of continuous operation) and historical brand associations with James Beard and Robin Williams, but operates at micro-scale with limited operational disclosure. The competitive position rests on brand heritage, proprietary family recipes, and multi-certification portfolio breadth rather than technology, scale, or distribution dominance.
