Bazzini

What Bazzini does

Bazzini, LLC is a privately held, Pennsylvania-domiciled producer of nuts, dried fruits, confections, and gift sets, operating from Allentown under a heritage brand that the company markets as "America's Oldest Nut Company — Est. 1890." The portfolio spans core nut SKUs (almonds, cashews, filberts, pistachios, peanuts, nut mixes) plus adjacent categories (dried fruit, fruit & nut bars), packaged in retro tins, resealable pouches, and assorted gift formats, all manufactured under Orthodox Union (OU) kosher supervision. Beyond branded retail and consumer products, Bazzini operates a contract-manufacturing business, most notably co-producing SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites.

The business runs an asset-light digital channel: the company website (bazzininuts.com, BigCommerce-powered) and an official Amazon storefront, with all direct-to-consumer orders fulfilled through Amazon for shipping, tracking, and customer service. Distribution is domestic US only and includes nationwide physical retail in addition to DTC. Pricing is unit-based (no disclosed subscription or tiered model), with anchor SKUs such as a 4-pound jumbo salted peanut tin at $17.50 and a 5-pound Super Colossal Pistachio pack at $49.00. Marketing is primarily organic (Facebook, Twitter) supplemented by email opt-ins, with no evidence of a formal B2B sales team.

The company employs 51–100 people and is led by CEO Rocco Damato, with founder lineage traceable to Anthony Bazzini. There is no disclosed parent company, no institutional equity base, and only one funding event on record (a 2016 investment from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania). In May 2026 Bazzini issued a voluntary recall on co-manufactured SkinnyDipped product due to undeclared peanut allergen, an event that materially exposes the contract-manufacturing line to brand and operational liability.

• SkinnyDippedminorOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing PartnerBazzini acts as a co-manufacturer for SkinnyDipped brand products. Bazzini manufactured SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites products that were subject to a recall in May 2026 due to undeclared peanut allergen. The recall was triggered after a consumer found peanut butter-containing products in mislabeled packages. This indicates a contract manufacturing relationship where Bazzini produces products for the SkinnyDipped brand.
