For more than 70 years, A.J. Trucco has specialized in importing and distributing dried fruits and nuts, in addition to a wide range of other specialty items. The Bronx, NY-based company is known as a premier produce distributor throughout the east and beyond. In early September, Nick Pacia, president of A.J. Trucco told The Produce News that the company was currently getting ready for its fresh Italian chestnut season.

“Trucco is well known as program experts and industry leaders,” said Pacia. “In addition to our chestnuts, we also offer a variety of other products in this category. The line consists of figs from Turkey, Greece and Italy, dates from California and roasted hazelnuts from Italy.”
