About Ithaca Hummus

We don’t know anyone who likes Ithaca, we only know people who love Ithaca. In 2013 we were founded by a chef who was disappointed nothing he bought at the store tasted as good as what he could make at home. He spent the first few years juicing lemons by hand and selling his hummus at the Ithaca Farmers Market. Today we’ve grown into the leading premium brand in the category, and we still use fresh squeezed lemon juice because we know it’s the only way to deliver the mind-blowing taste we’re known for.
