On the heels of recent success with their Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix and Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Mix, Sof'ella Gourmet Natural Foods will introduce a delicious and EASY-TO-PREPARE Gluten Free Pizza Dough Mix. The new mix is so light and crispy and absolutely delicious that one forgets the pizza crust is actually gluten free.

The new Gluten Free Pizza Dough Mix was developed by Sof'ella culinary team to meet consumers demand for great tasting gluten free products. According to research, one in every two hundred and fifity people is afflicted with Celiac disease, a condition that warrants a gluten free diet. CEO and founder, Carlo Brandon states, "Everyone should be able to enjoy comfort food such as a slice of delicious pizza, chocolate cake or stack of pancakes." Sof'ella Gourmet Natural Foods has long embraced the philosophy to provide products that are nutritious and EASY-TO-PREPARE, while ensuring that taste and quality are never compromised "We saw an opportunity to create top-notch gluten-free products to satisfy the changing needs of consumers."

CEO and founder, Carlo Brandon first created the Sof'ella Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix as a result of personal experiences with family and friends who have food allergies. Carlo observed, "So many parents keep talking about their child's food allergies. It's sad when children with allergies can't eat a slice of cake at a friend's birthday party."

Because Carlo and his Executive Chef, Jennifer Black Dea, were not happy with the gluten free flours available in the market. "We designed and formulated a proprietary mix of gluten free flours to achieve a rich, moist, decadent baking mix that melts in the mouth unlike other gluten free products, Sof'ella mixes lack the dense gritty texture and off after taste often associated with gluten free. Now, the Sof'ella team is excited to introduce the Gluten Free Pizza Dough Mix to their line of gluten free products."

The Sof'ella Gluten Free Pizza Dough Mix will be available after May 1 at www.shop.sofellafoods.com and at food retailers nationwide. Suggested retail price is $5.99. The entire gluten free line is also supported with recipes ideas available at www.sofellafoods.com.

Easy & Delicious Gluten Free Mixes

Let them eat cake... For most people, eating a piece of birthday cake
may only bring about worries of extra calories. But, for the 3 million Americans who suffer from Celiac disease -- a lifelong, genetic digestive disorder, birthday cakes are always out of reach. Birthday parties can be a stressful experience as parents of Gluten-Free children fear their child will be exposed to gluten-containing foods, while also worrying that their child might feel excluded.CEO and founder, Carlo Brandon created his Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix after attending birthday parties at his 5 year old daughter's school. "It's sad when children with allergies can't eat a slice of cake at a friend's birthday party".

Because Carlo and his executive chef, Jennifer Black Dea, were not happy with the Gluten Free flours currently on the market, "we designed and formulated our Gluten Free flours to achieve a rich, moist and flavorful taste, without the gritty texture of most other Gluten Free flours on the market today".Carlo started Sof'ella Gourmet Natural Foods [named after his daughters Sofia and Stella] in order to provide our families with products that are ALL NATURAL, GOURMET and EASY-TO-PREPARE.We invite you to try our Sof'ella line of Gluten Free products with your family and friends. But don't tell them it's Gluten Free.....they'll just think it is great food.
