In 2022, DNA analysis of Saccharomycotina yeasts noted that Peterozyma toletana, Peterozyma tannophilus and Nakazawaea holstii are in a monophyletic sister clade to the Pichiaceae family.[3]
Originally, a monotypic genus containing the single species Nakazawaea holstii but Nakazawaea siamensis was added in 2011.[4] With further others added later.[5]
The genus name of Nakazawaea is in honour of Dr. Ryoji Nakazawa, who was a Japanese microbiologist and Director of the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka, Japan, in recognition of his contributions to yeast taxonomy.[6]
The genus was circumscribed by Yuzo Yamada, Kojiro Maeda and Kozaburo Mikata in Biosc., Biotechn. Biochem. vol.58 (Issue 7) on page 1256 in 1994.[1]

Nakazawaea molendini-olei is found in the yeast of Black olive pomace (remains), and is used to make oleuropein.[7]
