About Us

In 1988, native Vermonters, Jonathan Rutstein and his wife Fran purchased a small, local company with three chocolate sauces and a client base of about a dozen good customers. Since then, they have expanded their product line to include eight creamy chocolate sauces, fresh berry preserves, savory jams, spicy Dijon mustards, authentic pasta sauces, unconventional salsas, barbecue marinades, and elegant champagne vinegars and infused grapeseed oils plus an award winning line of hot chocolate beverages made with organic kosher cocoa and caffeine-free "White Hot" drinks, instant chai teas and exotic tea blends. Not to mention a Vermont summer necessity: "Moose Pops," hand poured, real maple flavored suckers!

Whether under the signature Bread & Chocolate name, or our new Burnham & Mills™ label, our products are still made in small batches, using the finest natural ingredients and packaged by hand in Vermont.

If we have tweaked your sweet tooth or tickled a savory obsession, call or write us. We're always glad to hear from our customers. You can also email us by clicking here.
