Why we say mời.
In a Vietnamese home, a guest never leaves without something sweet. Mời is how a host says: please, have some.
Every Hill House piece begins there.
A designer and a pastry chef.
Hill House was founded by Thao and Linh, two Bay Area mothers who couldn't find a snack worth trusting.
We both grew up with nougat. But the classic European kind was always too hard and too crunchy to really enjoy. So we went back to the kitchen and invested in a new recipe: soft and chewy, lighter, and less sweet, with toasted nuts and real fruit in every piece.
— Thao & Linh
The eyes, the brain, and the hands
Thao
The eyes and the brain
Founder & designer. If it looks beautiful, she saw it first. If it's a little bit genius, she probably thought of it in the shower.
Linh
The hands
Co-founder & pastry chef. If it tastes this good, she folded it. Every batch, every piece, every tin.
How it's made
Small batches.
By hand.
