I recently had a chance to tour this North Vancouver based Persian breads and sweets production bakery. This family bakery has been supplying their breads to a growing number of markets throughout the Vancouver area since 2004.
Amin Tavangar, President, explained that they brought in a Special oven from Iran to bake these Taftoons and other breads.
