Duck Island Bread Company is a genuine artisan bakery where we celebrate and honor the traditions of generations of European bakers. Founded by Robert Biancavilla, the company is evolving from his desire to provide the local community with exceptional bread and pastries. Inspired and taught by bakers from the United States, Canada, France, and Germany, we handcraft each and every pastry and loaf of bread from scratch in small batches, using only the finest quality ingredients.
Founder Robert Biancavilla aims to provide the local community with an old world bakery experience. For more than a decade, our bread baking has begun by hand, when we make small batches of dough and let them to ferment over hours. This allows the flavors to naturally develop without the use of artificial enhancers. Our breads are leavened naturally by capturing the wild yeast spores present in the air and grain. We have patiently fermented wheat and rye flour, nurturing thriving cultures of wild yeast. Thi
Our enriched breads, cookies, cakes and pastries are prepared with only the highest quality of ingredients. Using simply flour, whole milk, eggs, minimally refined sugar, and European-style unsalted butter, we handcraft croissants, pretzels, cookies, brownies, scones & more—all from scratch. Come on by and taste the difference!
