Gluten-free consumers expect pastry products to deliver the same pleasure, softness and visual appeal as their best conventional counterparts. Muffins, cakes, sponge-cakes products as well as puff pastries and all leavened baked goods must rise properly, slice cleanly and keep their indulgent texture over time.
Thanks to HIFOOD’s long-lasting experience in the gluten-free sector – developed since it was founded in 2012 and further expanded when it became part of CSM Ingredients group in 2022 – today CSM Ingredients offers a vast range of solutions to elevate gluten-free ranges.
