GOURMET NEWS JUNE 2012 GLUTEN FREE FOODS 21
Coffaro’s Gluten Free Biscotti
Over three million Americans have Celiac
disease, and an estimated 18 to 20 million
more are gluten-sensitive. To serve this
growing population, gluten free prepared
products are popping up on grocery store
shelves in record numbers. This year, sales
of gluten free products are expected to
reach $2.5 billion. According to one research
group, the gluten free market will
exceed $5 billion in sales by 2015. All of
this activity makes the gluten free label a
popular marketing buzzword.
To meet this demand, Coffaro’s Baking
Company is pleased to present its gluten
free line of biscotti. Focusing on all-natural
ingredients that are wholesome,
these wonderful biscotti are in line with
our aspirations to offer consumers who
are gluten-sensitive choices that are better
for themselves, their families and the
environment.
Coffaro’s gluten free products are also
made with heart healthy olive oil instead of
butter or other saturated fats. (Olive oil is
absolutely wonderful to bake with and is
enjoying a renewed popularity among educated
consumers.) These crispy sweet
treats are dairy-free, low in cholesterol and
sodium, and made with natural flavors,
fruits, nuts and pure vanilla. We offer three
varieties in 6 oz. boxes: Cranberry Almond,
Lemon Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.

Truebar
Gluten free leader Bakery On Main has recently
unveiled Truebar, a new fruit and nut
bar with nothing to hide. Clear packaging
allows consumers to see the all-natural ingredients.
The bars come in six exotic flavors:
Hazelnut Chocolate Cherry, Walnut
Cappuccino, Fruit & Nut, Raspberry
Chocolate Almond, Coconut Cashew and
Apricot Almond Chai.
This is good news for on-the-go health
conscious consumers, including anyone
who follows a gluten free diet, and that’s
a growing population. Now it’s not only
individuals with Celiac disease (who
must adhere to a lifelong gluten free diet),
but also people with gluten intolerances,
those with autism who eat a gluten free
casein-free (GFCF) diet in an attempt to
reduce symptoms, a growing number of
athletes who have adopted a gluten free
diet to improve performance, and even
people who have tried it and stuck with
it because they report feeling better
eating less or no gluten.
Truebars are a good source of fiber and
omega3s, made with many low-GI ingredients,
are dairy and casein-free and low
in sodium with no transfat or cholesterol.
The bars are also GFCO-certified, Kosher
Parve and Non-GMO Verified.

Gloria’s Almond Divine Cookies
Gloria’s Gourmet gluten free Almond
Cookies were introduced three years
ago by the request of their customers.
The family recipe is baked in small
batches to ensure the integrity and
taste. Three simple ingredients baked
in a cookie that is tender, chewy and a
little crispy is the base. Natural chocolate,
coffee, blood orange, rose and the
very trendy pistachio make these
cookies a good tasting gluten free
treat. Not only is it a favorite among
health conscious cookie lovers, but it
is a favorite among kids as well,
especially the chocolate, which works
wonders for a gluten free ice cream
sandwich cookie. The package cookies
are available in 2-cookie bags…great
for grab and go, also in retail boxes of
5.6 oz., and individual foodservice
packs for restaurants and coffee/tea
bars. The reviews have been great…
and the combinations are amazing.
