Glutino’s New Genius Bread

Let’s just be clear – it’s not going to do your calculus homework or compose a beautiful report for your boss. But the new Genius bread is pretty good in its own way.

Glutino sent me a loaf of the new Genius by Glutino white bread a few days ago.

I have actually had the opportunity to try this bread a couple of times before (a bite here and there), at Expo West and at the GIG Conference in Orlando.  From what I recalled, it seemed some changes had been made in the few months between the two food expos.

Now, having eaten an entire piece and a sandwich, I can tell you that this bread is soft, has a very good texture, and a nice (mostly plain) flavor with no aftertaste.  It did not get all gummy and stick to my teeth, either (which often tends to be a problem with gluten-free breads).

The only bothersome thing was the crust, as it was a little overly stiff, but that may have been due to the bread being so hot when it arrived.  You see, they kindly sent the bread so it would be thawed and ready for me to eat.  However, people who have never lived in Texas just don’t understand how freakishly hot it is here.  The bread had to cool down in my house (which I keep at 80 during the day – yes, it’s hot, but still a good change from the 101 or 112 outside).

Overall, I found it to be a good bread, and made a rather nice sandwich (honestly, it’s not that often I eat sandwiches anymore).  If you get the chance, give it a try.

Below is the press release, if you are so inclined to read it.  🙂

    I live in Newport News VA. Is there a store here or in Hampton VA or York County VA that carries this bread? My granddaughter is coming to visit and is gluten intolerant.

      According to Glutino’s website, these are the stores in Virginia that carry their product. Keep in mind that some of the stores may only carry a couple of products (such as cookies). I’d suggest calling the places nearby and seeing if they carry the bread. Thank you for looking out for the gluten-free needs of your granddaughter!
