In 1908, The Ferrara Company was born as a bakery, specializing in wedding cakes and cookies.
Candy making was not the bakery's main focus, but all that changed with the Jordan almond.
Italian immigrant and founder of the Ferrara Bakery, Salvatore Ferrara found that the candy
coated almonds - which were traditionally a wedding favor - were a hot item in his bakery.
The almonds led Ferrara to branch out into candy, creating the Ferrara Candy Company in the
1920's alongside partners Jimmy Pagano and Salvatore Buffardi.
