Our Heritage
Nazim Aga, 1976
Our family's tradition in crafting premium cured meats dates back to 1956. What began with Nazim Aga and his mastery of traditional recipes has been passed down through generations, carrying with it the authentic techniques and recipes of Antakya.
Today, Antakya Foods continues this seven-decade legacy in Canada, bringing the same dedication to quality and authenticity that Nazim Aga upheld in his workshop over half a century ago.
