Shabtai Gourmet Gluten Free Products

Shabtai Gourmet Gluten Free Products

Anyone who has a food intolerance or sensitivity knows how horrible eating the wrong foods can make you feel. The experience of shopping for snack foods can be almost as agonizing, especially if you have multiple sensitivities. Having recently adopted a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, I enlisted the Naturally Savvy team to search out all-natural bakeries that could satisfy my cookie cravings without causing me any digestive discomfort. One company we discovered was Shabtai Gourmet, a dedicated allergen free bakery that makes a variety of cookies and cakes.

Healthy Choice

Headed by Shabtai himself, Shabtai Gourmet prides itself on making great tasting home-style recipes that are gluten-free, lactose-free, casein-free, soy-free, dairy-free, certified Kosher for Passover, and Kosher Parve. Shabtai meets great success on his mission to provide the finest quality baked goods, packed with incredible flavor and texture, while remaining completely free of gluten, dairy, and soy – and with over 30 years of baking experience, he's had a lot of time to perfect his treats.

Our Sample

While conducting research for a book we're writing (keep your eyes peeled for more details very shortly), the Naturally Savvy team had a sampling party of some of Shabtai's cookies. The overall team favorite was the Florentine Lace cookies – a perfect balance of sweetness (from the cookie outer layers) and richness (from the dark chocolate center). The Bon-Bons are a strong contender as a natural version of a Swiss Roll snack cake, though the bon-bons use chocolate cookies instead of cake. The Meltaway Crumb cookies reminded one Naturally Savvy team member of her grandmother's gingersnap cookies – they tasted almost identical, but with added pecan chunks and no wheat! As made evident by how fast these treats disappeared, the cookies certainly pass the taste test. But what about the ingredients? A quick glance at the side panel shows a list of ingredients you might use yourself when baking at home.
