Primary Town San Jose, CA
Primary Business Dried Fruit Packer
Dates 1935-late 1960's

Summary

Small independent dried fruit packer in San Jose. Abinante and Nola appeared just after the crash of the early 1930's; Sam Abinante, a former California Packing Corporation buyer, handled the business side, and Frank Nola handled the production side. Abinante and Nola was interesting because they switched between several packing houses in the Santa Clara Valley during their lifetime, often taking over properties either from packers that were going under or needed more space.

See a full history of Abinante and Nola on Robert's web site at www.vasonabranch.com.
