Gluten-Free Food Zone-Schar Vanilla Wafers


Let me start by saying Europeans know how to make a mean vanilla wafer! This product is a perfect example of why I love doing "research" for this blog. For this particular post I did A LOT of research (prob a lil more than necessary.) bigwink.gif 
This naturally gluten and wheat-free Italian wafer by Schär (the leading gluten-free company in Europe) is rich yet light and has an exquisite feel/taste. Unlike other gluten-free products these do not taste completely different from the originals. Actually, they taste exactly like what you would expect a vanilla wafer to taste like, but with just a touch more flavor and a more luxurious texture. They have the perfect cream to crisp ratio and even the packaging of this product feels a bit posh. Best of all, they are tightly packed so you will rarely open a new package just to be disappointed by crumbs and broken wafers. These sweet treats are great as a light dessert, to serve with tea and coffee, or as a mid-day snack. Bonus: Schär not only offers great gluten-free products, but they support celiac disease research and other organizations for people with special dietary needs! Now that's sweet! Toss some in your cart during your next trip to your local Whole Foods, Wild By Nature, or buy them online at  www.schaer.com  where you can also read more about celiac and living gluten free. Buon appetito!
