Garofalo Casarecce Gluten Free, 12 oz

Made to European food rules. In the EU every additive has to be authorised before it can go into food, and there is no route for a manufacturer to approve its own — in the United States there is. Potassium bromate is prohibited in flour here and azodicarbonamide is not authorised at all; both are still permitted in American baking. That is usually why the ingredient list on the back is shorter.

Garofalo have made pasta in Gragnano since 1789, and this is their gluten-free line — a maize and rice blend, bronze-die cut like the wheat pasta, in the twisted casarecce shape that holds sauce along its groove. It holds its bite better than most gluten-free pasta, which is the whole difficulty with the category.

Made in Italy.
