| Senza Glutine! |
The drive from Bologna through to Reggio Emilia takes us past the Ipercoop in Modena which houses a massive gluten-free aisle. Considering I was staying in a small village north of Tuscany for a week, I was't sure how often I would come across such a treasure-trove so the shopping cart was loaded. In went two breads (a plain white loaf and a country style loaf - both quite passable), gnocchi, and savoiardi biscuits for tiramisu (a cracking find), all by DS. The gnocchi were surprisigly good, as good as store-bought gnocchi get anyway, though as with all gluten-free pasta, I would recommend adding a drizzle of olive oil to the boiling water to help prevent clumpage.

The Coop also carry their own line of gluten-free items of which their Frollini Classici (effectively delicate butter biscuits, wonderful with tea and coffee) were my favourite. The shop also stocked the Fantastic Delite rice crackers from Australia, a great Japanese inspired snack. All around a good shopping experience. Updates to follow once we put the Savoiardi biscuits to the test in a toramisu.
