Delicious Baked Goods by Gluten Free Gourmet

We hit the jackpot this time!  Finding a gluten free bakery is a challenge.  Finding a gluten free bakery that makes great tasting bread is even more of a challenge, but that’s exactly what we have found this time.   Gluten Free Gourmet, located in Campbell, CA is a dedicated gluten free bakery that makes a large variety of great tasting baked goods.  Owner Dana Hoppe, has really done her homework…and it really shows in her products. 

It all started in 2000 when Dana discovered that she was gluten intolerant.  At that time, gluten free products were slim to none and finding good tasting gluten free products was near impossible.  This gave her the motivation to take things into her own hands.  She started by trying recipes in gluten free cook books, but she found them to be frustrating because of all the special ingredients they required.  Not to be discouraged, she decided to take her own approach; convert recipes that she used prior to being diagnosed into gluten free recipes.  With her desire for great tasting gluten free food and the support of her family and friends as motivation, she set out to create what we know today as Gluten Free Gourmet.

Cookies, brownies, cakes, bread, muffins pies… Gluten Free Gourmet does it all!  In a dedicated gluten free kitchen too!   Since 2008, Dana has been creating great tasting gluten free baked goods.  She started at the Saratoga Farmer’s Market with four products: mini loaves of carrot cake, zucchini bread, fudgy brownies and pumpkin apple bread.  They were a hit!  She has now expanded her selection to 23 different products not including her made to order cakes and pies.   

If you have a special occasion you need a cake for, Gluten Free Gourmet can make it for you!  Dana puts a lot of love and care into her baked goods.  When you make a special order, she will sit down and talk to you about your allergies to ensure that it fits your needs.  As an extra precaution, everything is washed between batches to prevent cross contamination.  In addition to being gluten free, the facility is also peanut-free, although they do use tree nuts from time to time.

Gluten free baking can sometimes be tricky.  Dana has put a lot of work into perfecting her recipes and it shows.  Gluten Free Gourmet products taste great!  So good you probably wouldn’t even be able to tell that they are gluten free.  We were especially impressed by their Gluten Free French Bread and Gluten Free Rosemary French Baguette.  It is one of the best tasting gluten free products we have ever tasted.  The flavor is great and the texture is spot on.  It is no surprise that it happens to be Dana’s favorite too.  It is unlike anything else on the market and can be used in many different ways.  We decided to barbeque the bread and it was delicious.  No matter how you decide to enjoy it, it is definitely a treat you will enjoy. 

Gluten Free Gourmet is definitely off to a great start.  With the care that Dana puts into her products combined with the unique selection of great tasting gluten free baked goods, it is no wonder they are a huge hit.  With Dana in the driver’s seat, we can’t wait to see what else they come up with.  For more information about Gluten Free Gourmet Products, visit their website at: www.gluten-free-gourmet.com.  We are also proud to announce that GFR Grocery is a retailer for Gluten Free Gourmet products.
