Jovial Foods unveils new line of grain free cassava-based pasta

Artisanal allergen-friendly foods producer Jovial Foods has unveiled a new line of grain-free cassava-based pasta, expanding its growing portfolio of gluten-free products.

The launch marks the first cassava pasta to market.

Jovial Grain Free Cassava Pasta is free of the top eight allergens, certified organic, gluten-free, grain-free, Paleo, Non-GMO Project Verified.

It is also free of all legumes, gums and added starches and available in spaghetti, fusilli, penne, elbows, and orzo shapes.

Jovial founder Carla Bartolucci said: “It can be overwhelming to find foods that make you feel good and taste great when you cannot eat gluten, grains or other allergens.

“I love creating products that can do both and that allow those with food intolerances to eat freely. I like to think of jovial Cassava Pasta as pasta for everybody.”

Jovial’s cassava is sustainably sourced and 100% organic. Its pasta artisans produce gluten-free pasta that has the same al dente texture as pasta made with wheat.

They also create allergen-friendly, ancient varietal and artisan-crafted foods that are manufactured in Italy. Small-scale farmers grow these foods.

Jovial is offering its Grain-Free Cassava Pasta online and in grocery stores such as Sprouts, Wegmans, Heinen’s.

Cassava needs little water and grows in marginal soil. It produces more calories per acre compared to wheat and corn.

Jovial also offers other products such as einkorn flour, gluten-free flour, brown rice pasta, cookies, crackers, beans, and tomatoes.
