Founded in 1984 by Anthony Dattolo and his sons Baldo and Joseph, Anthony & Sons is one of the largest bread suppliers in the country, producing frozen product for restaurants and supermarkets from its 65,000-square-foot, fully automated plant and headquarters in Denville. Using quality, tradition and passion as its key ingredients, the business has generated remarkable growth over the years – becoming one of the largest suppliers of breads and rolls throughout the country. Today, Anthony & Sons uses its heritage and recipes and process – combined with the latest manufacturing technology to deliver products across the country, boasting the latest trends, best quality and elite customer service. It has been a pioneer in creating categories like EZ Freezer to Oven and EZ Ready to Use Thaw & Sell lines. In August, Anthony & Sons launched a new line of avocado-based bread at Rouses Markets, a large independent grocery chain in the Southeast. Since its debut last year, The Avocado Bread Co. now is a presence in more than 4,000 supermarkets in the U.S. and Canada. “We’re thrilled to partner and shelve our latest products at Rouses Supermarkets, as this marks an impressive milestone for our growing brand,” said Baldo Dattolo.
