Introducing Semper, the leading Nordic gluten-free brand!
Semper has been the number 1 gluten-free brand in Sweden for over 25 years. Their success centres on a unique knowledge of gluten-free products and the use of traditional Swedish methods of manufacture for their signature knäckebröd (crispbread).
They produce a diverse range of high quality gluten-free foods, from crispbread to artisan linguine and tasty sweet treats (our personal favourite being their very moreish mint chocolate wafers!) All are gluten-free and suitable for Coeliacs.
Sempers crispbread are all produced in their own factory located in Korsnäs, Dalarna and the belt of Swedish crispbread. Semper has chosen to introduce two of crispbread varieties for the British market;
- Linseed crispbread, which is delicately flavoured and deliciously thin. They are a very good source of fibre (containing 9.1g per 100g) and made with 10% linseed.
- Rosemary and Salt crispbread made with gluten-free oats, which also was awarded at the ‘Free From Food Awards’ – the independent judges said they were a ‘Lovely rosemary flavoured crunchy crisp bread.’ ‘A great base for cheese – tangy and crisp.’
Semper’s range also includes an organic gluten-free artisan linguine, made in Italy using only two ingredients – 100% brown rice flour and the water from the hills of Tuscany! A uniquely rough textured pasta, which makes it perfect for capturing and holding flavours and sauces. It tastes great with a simple natural pesto or with tasty seafood!Semper also make great basics for cooking and baking including their gluten-free Fine White Flour and Organic gluten-free Oats. Their Organic Oats are specially handled during growing and harvesting to avoid contamination with gluten from other grains. Why not use them to make porridge the Swedish way – using water, served with honey, stewed apple and milk – the perfect healthy breakfast for a cold morning!
To finish off, we can’t forget that Semper also produce a delicious range of cookies and biscuits, including one of the favourite Mint Wafer Bites – perfect with a cup of tea for an afternoon pick-me-up. For a more decadent treat try Semper’s Triple Chocolate Cookies, made with 30% melt in the mouth dark and white chocolate chunks!
