By Nelson A. King
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams
honored Jamaican meat patty pioneer
company Tower Isles with a city
proclamation as it celebrated its 50th
Anniversary on Oct. 12.
Williams presented the award at an
anniversary banquet for the Brooklynbased
company, at the Hilton New
York at JFK, attended by long time and
current employees and supporters of
the company.
In the proclamation, Williams highlighted
the organization’s humble
beginnings as a small Brooklyn bakery,
opened by Beryl and Earl Levi “to
meet the desires of Caribbean expats
seeking traditional Jamaican baked
goods with a flavor of home.”
“Today, Tower Isles is a multi-million
dollar family-run company, with
a 41,000 square foot facility in Brooklyn,”
Williams told Caribbean Life.
He underscored Tower Isles’ generosity
in “supporting the Brooklyn
community it calls home, empowering
other local businesses to succeed.”
“Tower Isles continues to put family
and community first after five decades
of growth and success,” the public
advocate said.
Tower Isles said on its website that it
was founded by the Levi’s in 1968 as a
small family bakery in Crown Heights,
and is now “one of the largest pattymaking
companies in the world.”
“In order to avoid confusion with
the traditional American Patties, we
coined the term ‘Jamaican Style Patties’
in 1969,” the company said, adding
that a Jamaican style patty is made
with beef or chicken filling and a flaky
pastry crust.
“Our original Jamaican-style patties
are made with only the finest Grade
A USDA beef, chunky white chicken
breast and freshly picked island spices,”
the company continued. “Tower
Isles’ commitment to producing the
absolute best quality of Jamaican style
patties is what sets us apart from the
rest.”
