Why hasn’t anyone fixed breadcrumbs?

Since 2013, Alex has worked in the natural food space

Conza launched with leftover bakery bread, a Cuisinart food processor, and 55 bags sold on Day 1 at the

farmers market!

In 2023, Conza starte d buying Iggy’s sourdough (Cambridge, MA). Our first stores were specialty meat & seafood shops selling 1 -2 bags/day. Now we co-pack and sell to 200+ doors & online.

In 2021, Alex realized that fresh meat and fish deserved better breadcrumbs

FAQ’s

How is Conza different from panko? Conza has the crunchy texture of panko, but it is already seasoned, toasted, and ready to eat.

How do you justify the high $/oz? Consumers do not value $/oz. Industry folks do. Consumer value pack size more than weight, because volume indicates how many cutlets/meatballs they can make with it. • 1 bag coats 4+ lbs of meat or fish. • Customers don’t complain about the bag size.

How often do people buy your breadcrumbs? The category avg is 1.7 units/yr . Conza’s top consumers buy 12 units/yr. Conza’s average is closer to 4 units/yr.
