Gluten Free Pasta by Viviana

     Gluten free pasta by Viviana simply means that each and every day we're making gluten free pasta in a certified gluten, dairy, egg, nut, soy, casein free facility.  Our job is to make a gluten free pasta that is delicious, healthy and safe eating for our gluten and allergy intolerant friends.

 

 

Here we are in San Mateo, CA at the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo In January, 2014.

 

     Last year we were the "new kid" on the block.. taking our samples on the road to shows such as the Fancy Food Show, Expo West and recently we've been attending Gluten Allergen Free Expos across the country.  We have had the opportunity to meet and share our product with many wonderful people who continually express their gratitude for our efforts.

     We are continuing to grow as a company and expect our volume to increase this year.  We have been adding more retail locations every day and that makes the gluten free pasta manufacturing kitchen a busy place. I thought you might like an insiders peek into the everyday lives of our awesome kitchen staff.
 

 

A typical day starts by loading the pasta machine up with ingredients and twisting off the gluten free pasta.  This day happened to be Plain Linguine day.  The machine has a whole different look on Orzo days.



 

Once the pasta is out of the machine it is spread out, hand cut and set onto the drying racks. 

Here's Nick taking on plain linguine.

 

 

A perfect cut....linguine racks and more racks to go! 

 

 Devon takes great care in weighing out the pasta before packaging...if it says 8ounces on the label..it better be 8 ounces going into the boxes/packaging and fortunately, he takes that very seriously. 

 

 

Marvin is adding the final seal and filling the cases for delivery.  He usually keeps everyone on their toes, and every once in a while, you can hear him singing.

 

And our kitchen manager Estella has an infectious smile.  She keeps our staff busy and makes sure the final gluten free pasta product is what you can and should expect from us.
