Valley Lahvosh Baking Company

Five stars for their «crackerbread,» which I would call «water crackers» (e.g. Carr’s). During a tasting at a winery in the Santa Cruz mountains I couldn’t help but notice the taste of the heart-​shaped crackers. I have never thought much of a water cracker — they served a basic purpose with whatever you are eating with them. I see now I have been eating a generic, bland, mass-​produced product.
So, I had to ask for the brand and look them up at home. It’s so exciting to be able to walk into this shop and pick up these crackers — can’t wait to share them! I have not tried any of there other items but I will now that I have discovered their quality, commitment, and history. Thank you Valley Lahvosh for opening up a whole other dimension to crackers I didn’t know existed!

The Lavosh Cracker bread is legendary. The peda bread is fabulous! If you want true Armenian this is the place. Do not compare it to other bakeries, or other styles of food based upon personal preferences. This is the place for fabulous Armenian baking. Enjoy. I do!

I went in yesterday and Lavosh (cracker bread) is their main product but if you look to your right when you walk in there you will find the Peda bread. 90 years + in the business this is an Armenian icon in Fresno. To explain the Peda Bread, it is not flat bread, pocket bread or cracker bread. It is a loaf that comes in a round or loaf and is light and airy with sesame seeds on top. They make the rounds in sections (great for parties) or no sections. Armenian restaurants grill it with butter and slather in the shish kabab for a tasty sandwich or people us it for their Turkey Day stuffing. if you are not a local and you are heading down the 41, get off at «O» Street and go to the bakery and grab some bread. Remember to bring some butter with you so you can eat it in the car! Make sure you get 2 because one will be gone before you get to your destination.
