Our History
In 1924, Carl Peckler, a talented baker hailing from Austria, embarked on a journey to create old-world baking ingredients tailored for the American palate. Arriving in Brooklyn, NY with a vision and a wealth of baking knowledge, he focused on small-batch production and the finest ingredients. Carl crafted almond paste, marzipan, fruit fillings, and flavorful spreads that quickly gained a loyal following.
What started as a local endeavor soon blossomed into a thriving business. The dedication to quality that Carl instilled in American Almond remains a cornerstone of our operations today. His entrepreneurial spirit and love for nut-based products laid the foundation for what would become a century of innovation.
In June 2015, American Almond joined the Barry Callebaut company, the heart and engine for the global chocolate and cocoa industry. This partnership has not only enhanced capabilities but has also enabled to maintain the highest quality assurance and safety standards in the facility in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
Crafting the Future Together
At American Almond, we believe that collaboration and customization are key to culinary innovation. Our experienced sales, customer service, and research and development teams work closely with customers to turn unique product ideas into reality. Whether it’s a ready-to-ship classic or a custom blend tailored to your specifications, our goal is to provide the right ingredients to elevate your creations.
With a century of experience behind us, we are excited to continue our journey, fueled by the same passion and dedication that Carl Peckler brought to his craft all those years ago.
