The company, which was awarded the Best Caterer award at the 2010 Scottish Event Awards, also manages external catering for the University of Glasgow, The Royal College of Physicians, The Merchants' Hall, the Edinburgh Corn Exchange and the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, among other prestigious venues.
It is preparing to handle the catering and hospitality for the Royal Highland Show on 23 June for the 11th year running.
Hearts director Vitalijus Vasiliauskas said: "We are delighted to welcome such a prestigious business partner such as Saltire to Tynecastle. It is one of the leading lights in its field and we are confident this partnership is a recipe for success.
"Our supporters will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of this mouth-watering link-up not only on match days but throughout the season as well at the various events staged at the stadium.
"It is also important to note that the agreement will benefit the local economy by helping secure a number of local jobs."
Saltire Hospitality managing director, David Peters, said: "Heart of Midlothian Football Club is a very prestigious win and allows us to demonstrate the quality of service and produce we deliver.
"This is the first time we have had a full-time sales team based in-house for a client, making it a significant opportunity to develop and expand our services. Taking on responsibility for sales has created a mutually beneficial partnership to encourage more business for both parties.
"I know it's an honour for my employees to be working alongside the club as many are season-ticket holders and I'm also delighted that we've now got the perfect arena to showcase our own pies and jam tarts!"
