Bass Pecan Company

What is it about a pecan?  Crispy, nutty, subtly sweet.  It can go anywhere a peanut goes with surprising results.  Not as sharp on the palate as a walnut, not as hard to get into as a pistachio. The next time you’re presented with a bowl of mixed nuts, just watch how these mahogany ovals are the first to disappear.  And what would your holiday table be without delectable, gooey, crunchy pecan pie?   The crumbly crust, the melted filling, the crisp pecans elevated to their greatest potential.  No one knows pecans, or pecan pie better than Bass.  Probably because Bass Pecans have been the premiere pecan for over 100 years.  They know that the pecan is an equal opportunity nut who is friends with the sweet and savory alike, that the pecan is as happy on your salad as it is in your dessert, and that the surprising health benefits make it a guiltless pleasure.  In 1906 a Mississippi farmer, known to all as Father Bass, recognized that the rich Southern soil was perfect for pecans. In the years afterward, he devoted over 2000 acres of his land to the pecan.   Father Bass may have been a visionary farmer and businessman, but Mother Bass was known for her skill in the kitchen, and the recipes the company uses to produce their products focus on the same basics that Mother Bass used to feed her family and friends.  And you can bet that no special meal, church social, or local bake sale was without a sumptuous Bass pecan pie.  Exceptionally fresh ingredients, old family recipes, a sense of tradition, and loving care go into the making of Bass pies.  After all, when you start with something as spectacular as a Bass pecan, you don’t need much more to make it extraordinary.  Whether it is gilding the pecans with praline, honey, or cinnamon, or folding them into their secret recipe pecan pie with a buttery crust and sweet, silken filling, Bass knows what you crave.  We are proud to offer the country’s most perfect pecans to you, just the way Father and Mother Bass would have wanted.
