Bazzini

The A. L. Bazzini Company, commonly known as Bazzini, is an American nut, fruit, and chocolate company headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Founded in New York City in 1886, it is the oldest nut company in the United States. It began on Park Place in the Washington Market neighborhood of Manhattan. Upon the market's demolition in 1968, the company moved to a large nut-processing facility on Greenwich Street. In 1983, the Bazzini family sold the business to Rocco Damato, who has owned and operated it since. The company moved to the Bronx in 1997, and to Allentown in 2011. In addition to being sold through retail shops, its nuts are sold in venues like Yankee Stadium; it has supplied both the original and current stadiums of that name since the original opened in 1923. The company's former factory on Greenwich Street is still known as the Bazzini Building, although it has been turned in to condominiums, and is part of the Tribeca West Historic District.
