Duck Island Bread Company is a genuine artisan bakery where we celebrate and honor the traditions of generations of European bakers. Our mission is to preserve the past by making it part of the present.
Founded by Robert Biancavilla over a decade ago, the company is evolving from his desire to provide the local community with an old world bakery experience. The mantra “We are more than just bread, but bread is the soul of our bakery” has always been the focus of the bakery. In the new bakery design, bread remains at the forefront and will be baked throughout the day. Our new POLIN Hearth Oven, which was constructed in Verona, Italy, is located in front of the bakery, and will afford our customers the ability to watch our daily bread baking. A new and exciting service will be our late-day bake! This will provide customers with fresh-baked Baguettes and Italian Bread for their evening meals.
Our bread baking philosophy is that no bread is baked before its time. The goal is to allow each small batch of dough to develop its flavors naturally through hours of fermentation, without the addition of commonly used artificial flavor 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. This time-honored method of leavening, passed on by generations of bread bakers, produces wonderfully delicious and long-lasting bread. Our free-form loaves are shaped by hand and baked directly on the stone deck of our POLIN hearth oven.
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 and other pastries, pretzels, cookies, brownies, and scones—all from scratch.
