Knot of this World Pretzels

The Knot of this World Pretzel Company started in 1920 at a tiny local store in Brooklyn, New York. The very first pretzel was hand twisted by the Italian grandfather of the current proprietor and Executive Chef, Mr. Ray Ruffino. Ray’s grandfather twisted pretzels the old-fashioned way. He did it by hand with LOVE and PRIDE to complete perfection.

Decades later Ruffino’s father and his uncle took the Pretzel Bakery and their snack foods such as candy apples, cotton candy, popcorn, lemonade and Italian ices to a new home on Long Island. They built their business with the same LOVE and PRIDE as their father. At a very young age, Ray’s dad shared with him the importance of quality fresh products made with the best ingredients and creativity to capture any snack food lover’s imagination and appetite.
