Why Obour

Made by our people, in our own kitchen. Never outsourced.

Organic chickpeas, never canned

Soaked overnight and cooked fresh for a creamier hummus with real flavor.

We grind our own tahini

Most brands buy theirs in bulk. We grind organic sesame in-house every week.

No seed oils

Only olive oil. No sunflower, safflower or canola, ever.

No preservatives

No citric acid, no potassium sorbate. Just real ingredients, made fresh every week.

Glass jars, reused

Return your empty jars and we clean, sanitize and reuse them, cutting our packaging footprint by nearly half. Plus, you get $1 off per jar, with no limit.

Our kitchen, our trucks

Made in San Francisco's Bayview and delivered by our own team, from Reno to Los Angeles.

The jar return program

Bring back the jar. We'll fill it again.

Every hummus, toum and tahini we make goes into glass, never plastic. When you're done, bring the empty jar back and get $1 off per jar, with no limit. We wash it, sanitize it and put it back to work, so the same jar can come home with you again and again.

Our story

From finance geek to Chief Hummus Officer.

A family legend
I was born into a family of skilled hummus craftsmen. My bloodline extends all the way to Alexander, when he invaded Persia and introduced the chickpea to Esfahan.
Just kidding…
Jars of Obour Hot Curry hummus on a wooden board with fresh herbs

In late 2017, I was a 26-year-old finance geek in downtown San Francisco. Fed up with corporate life, I Googled “How to start a food business in SF.”

Armed with a few of my own hummus recipes, a desire to spread joy through food, and the belief that taste and quality of ingredients always come first, I quit my job, found a shared kitchen and got to work.

Today, Obour is the Bay Area's go-to for hummus, tahini, toum and pita chips. You'll find us at 23 weekly farmers markets across the Bay Area and Los Angeles, on grocery shelves, in our fridges at breweries and taprooms, and at our flagship shop in the San Francisco Ferry Building.

Our team makes everything fresh each week, in small batches, in our own kitchen in the Bayview. Never outsourced. And we're obsessed with quality. (Like, truly obsessed.)

  • Organic chickpeas, never canned, soaked overnight
  • Organic lemon juice, fresh-squeezed, never bottled
  • Organic extra-virgin olive oil, cold-pressed
  • Tahini ground fresh in-house every week
  • No preservatives. Ever.

We use reusable glass jars, and our jar return program cuts our packaging footprint by nearly half.

All of this adds up to what many people tell us is the best hummus they've ever had. We're inclined to agree. I hope you do, too.

Elliot SharifiFounder & Chief Hummus Officer

Today

Our own kitchen in the Bayview, 23 weekly markets and over 90 wholesale accounts.

The Obour Foods logo: a lion holding a sword before a yellow sun

The Lion & the Sun

Our logo comes from the Shir-o-Khorshid, the Lion and the Sun, one of the oldest emblems of Iran. It has been woven into Persian art and heraldry since the 12th century, and it flew on the Iranian flag until 1979. People have read many meanings into it over the centuries. Right now, we'd like you to associate it with some really good hummus.

And the name? Obour is Persian for “a crossing.”
