Five Generations of Buffalo Baking
It started with one famous loaf of rye. It became a family standard that has run for 137 years and counting.
Covelli Premium Dough Products, formerly Al Cohen's, has been delighting restaurant operators and retail consumers with scratch-made quality products for generations. That is not marketing copy: it is the family record, and the plant on Broadway Street still runs by it.
Every Covelli Dough product is crafted with over 130 years of bakery experience, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The first loaf
Al Cohen's bakes the old world rye Buffalo still knows by name. Marble, seeded, plain, and pumpernickel follow, and the deli cases of Western New York are never the same. A family business is born around one uncompromising loaf.
Frozen dough pioneers
Among the first bakeries anywhere to flash freeze scratch-made dough, the family spends the decade perfecting what most of the industry would not adopt for years: freezing dough at its peak so operators get scratch results without the scratch labor.
Covelli Premium Dough Products
Still family owned and operated, now a leading wholesale supplier of premium dough products to quality-focused retail and food service operators around the U.S. Same standard, bigger freezers, and the famous rye still comes off the line.
