Gluten-free flour for professionals and the family
Why choose gluten-free flour?
Gluten is a composite of proteins in cereals found in wheat and some varieties of cereals, such as emmer wheat, spelt, triticale, barley and rye. Some people have disorders linked to gluten which, although the symptoms are the same (bloating and stomach pains, fatigue), have a different origin and diagnosis:
- Coeliac disease: an autoimmune disorder that mainly affects the intestine since the immune system reacts to the gluten damaging the intestinal mucus.
- Gluten sensitivity: the symptoms are similar to those of coelic disease and wheat allergy without being either of the two illnesses.
- Wheat allergy: mainly affects the skin and respiratory tract and the symptoms include baker’s asthma or rhinitis.
Gluten intolerance, i.e. coeliac disease or sensitivity, affects about 1% of the population and can start at any age, so much so that many people suffer from it without even knowing.
For all these people, then, using gluten-free flour is linked to health reasons, but does not mean having to sacrifice taste.
The different kinds of
gluten-free flour
There are some types of flour that are naturally gluten-free (e.g. rice, chestnut, etc.) and can be used for certain types of cooking, but are less suited to baking. There are also flour mixes that are enhanced with natural or chemical ingredients with which products, that more closely resemble those containing gluten, can be made. So, there are a large number of gluten-free flour mixes on the market, but obviously not all of them produce the same result in terms of taste.
Molini Spigadoro’s GLUTEN FREE philosophy

“During the Sigep trade fair in Rimini, we gave out toasted bread appetisers made with bread from our gluten-free mixes. The people who tasted them didn’t realise that they were gluten-free. This is a positive sign which means that our mix has been properly selected and offers excellent products,” commented the CEO, Maria Cucchia.
It is naturally lactose free and a source of fibre. It is sold in 1 kg packets, in multiples of 6, to keep the product intact.
