THE BELGIUM CO., INC.
ST. CLOUD, FLORIDA

For more than a quarter of a century, The Belgium Company has created butter molds in dozens of commercial shapes and countless numbers of commissioned forms in the shape of company logos, corporate emblems and even sculptures of people. We are the only company in the industry that presses our butter into molds, allowing us to avoid the standard practice of melting butter so that it can be more easily poured, which results in an inferior product. Today we boast several thousand customers in and around the United States. From Disney hotels’ Mickey Mouse and friends to ducks at The Peabody Hotel, The Belgium Company’s two- and three-dimensional magic has brightened dining tables at some of the most exclusive hotels and resorts in the world. In 1976, founders Zet and Nino Mazzaro, parents of the current owners, were desperately trying to salvage a failing business venture making espresso and authentic Belgium waffles. Long before the onset of Starbucks and a national craze for coffee houses, the Mazzaro’s business was a CD in an 8-track world. Unfortunately, the hot potato business had one major drawback: Demand for uniquely shaped croquettes was very seasonal, and they were too extravagant to use year round. Chagrined but not beaten, Zet contemplated the dilemma and finally reached an answer. Arriving home around 11:30 one night from a disappointing business call, she entered her house and announced, “It’s butter!” Nino agreed to give it a try. Not long afterward, the Peabody introduced its guests to a butter duck. With Zet’s enthusiastic imagination and Nino’s designer skills, the company expanded its sales, began hiring employees to handle the workload and eventually outgrew its original plant. In 2001, they built a larger plant nearby. Tragically, both Zet and Nino were killed in a traffic accident in 2007. Determined to see their parents’ dream continue to flourish, the Mazzaro’s three sons, Gino and Nino stepped in. A few years later, Ivan the eldest son, came on board as well. Under their leadership, The Belgium Company is now set to expand into new markets. The company continues to use molds designed by their father and produce magic in a world of shapes and designs.
