Our Story
Owner and Lead Baker, Jessica Berry
|
Owning and operating a business catering to individuals with dietary restrictions comes with a heavy responsibility to customer's health. My unique qualifications for the task include a formal culinary education at Johnson & Wales University, a 20 year-long career in the food industry, and arguably most important, my first-hand struggle with gluten intolerance and managing my own gluten and dairy-free diet.
After years of perfecting gluten-free dessert recipes (not an easy process!) and creating homemade cakes for friends and family, I founded Bosco Baking Company in 2012 as Denver's first artisan gluten-free bakery. Our first wholesale client was Common Grounds, and eventually we expanded, selling desserts and pastries to coffee shops, restaurants and catering companies. |

Despite the restrictions on the food industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I've been able to continue providing my artisan gluten-free delights to the Denver community by shifting the focus of BBC's business model from wholesale, to direct-to-consumer. The small, gluten-free commercial kitchen where I bake offers a controlled environment that prevents cross-contamination, ensures sanitation, and reduces the risk of COVID-19 exposure.
Currently, Bosco Baking Company's treats can be found at local farmer's markets, online through Supper Bell and Denver Bazaar, and by appointment for curbside pick-up or delivery. When I'm not baking (or teaching my nephews how to) I enjoy yoga classes with my sister, hiking and camping with my husband, and playing with my dogs. |

Where does 'Bosco' come from?While studying abroad in Italy, Jessica discovered a beloved gelato flavor called 'Frutti di Bosco' (literally, fruits of the forest), made with different types of berries. 'Bosco' combines her love of the outdoors (the forest), her name (Berry) and her adoration of Italy into one.

Sustainability Statement
We love our home here in Colorado (after all, bosco is Italian for forest!) and we want it to remain beautiful for generations. That's why we take extra steps to make sure we are doing what we can to keep our business green. Here are some ways Bosco Baking Company is leading the way toward a more earth conscious future:
- We bake and deliver wholesale product on real sheet pans and exchange them with our customers on delivery. By simply doing this we prevented over 300 "disposable" pans from going to the landfill in 2018.
- We recycle all of the packaging from our raw ingredients, including our gluten free flours, eggs, and butter.
- We buy used equipment whenever possible. Not only is this more cost effective, it keeps the equipment out of the landfill and happily baking with us instead. Now doesn't that sound much more delicious?
