100% gluten-free
chock full of flavour
Meeting a celiac patient who was so dissatisfied with
the flavour of products then on the market that she
preferred baking her own bread was why Thomas Uljee
decided to develop his own line of gluten-free products.
In collaboration with a major flour producer, he developed
a flavourful basis for bread, cake, sausage rolls, chocolate
éclairs and doughnut balls that he sold at his
16 shops in Rotterdam. The flavour of these products
was the biggest reason why both individual consumers
and many regional hospitals were so eager to buy them.
To enhance the prospects of these unique products, to
increase their availability, and to exclude any risk
of accidental inclusion of ingredients containing gluten,
the production of these Special Products was accommodated
in a separate facility run by Special Food Improvement.
Decidedly tastier and
attractively priced
Anyone tasting Special’s products is immediately
convinced of their flavour and their “bite”
- the texture you experience as you bite into them.
For children, these factors often make all the difference.
Flavour is retained by freezing the products immediately
after baking. Another big advantage is their price,
which is lower than that of other gluten-free breads
now on the market.
TNO-tested
A major factor in what makes the Special products so
good is their special flour. TNO tests have demonstrated
that these products contain absolutely no cow’s
milk or gluten. As for their flavour, a test panel made
up of food-intolerant subjects was also in agreement:
both the bread and cake from Special received scores
of 8 or more out of a possible 10. Special decided to
request a patent on this ingredient.
