About us
Ciao Gluten was born with the idea of making gluten free products that taste as good as ‘glutinous’ products.
Our secret is passion and high quality. We regularly experiment with new recipes, using only fresh and natural ingredients. All products are hand-made in our dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Haarlem.
Delicious food for everyone, including those who are allergic/intolerant/sensitive to gluten or simply follow a special and healthy diet. You would not notice any difference with “regular” products, rather you would taste unique flavours thanks to the ability and creativity of the cooks, keeping alive their love and tradition for Italian cuisine.
