What is Toorshi Foods?

Toorshi Foods is a new family-operated business. 

Toorshi is the Armenian word for “pickles”.  Many Balkan, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Persian languages use the same or a similar word.

For more than fifty years, the Vartanian family has been making and sharing a variety of homestyle pickled products with family and friends, using a special recipe.  Now they are producing larger quantities in a new pickling facility, which means these products are available for all to enjoy and savour.

Pickled products sold by Toorshi Foods

All products are made in our pickling facility, which includes a health-inspected kitchen.  We use our special brine, created from an old Armenian family recipe, with only natural ingredients.  There are no chemical preservatives or additives. 

Our products have unique flavours:
