Our Story: A Rich Heritage
Over 85 Years of Perfecting Puff Pastry
Pennant’s humble beginnings
started in a small bakery in 1938 based out of Rochester, New York, “The Flower City.” Driven by the passion of inspired pastry chefs, we’ve evolved into industry leaders and are celebrated for our outstanding dough recipe — a legacy we’ve faithfully upheld for over 85 years.
Pennant Puff Pastry is the foundation of favorite dishes across North America. We serve restaurants, bakeries, hospitality kitchens and more—all thanks to our ongoing devotion to creating versatile, easy to use, and delicious puff pastry dough.
Throughout our +85-year journey, we’ve stayed true to our vision and passion for creating great food. As part of the Aspire Bakeries family, we’ve earned a reputation for providing exceptional, flaky pastry that continues to captivate chefs, bakers, and food service operators alike.
