I was contacted by Jovial Foods to review their Gluten-Free pasta and products they represent. All comments are my own and no compensation other than product was given.
I have to say, Italy knows how to make Gluten-Free pasta! I have been sampling Gluten-Free pasta and so far pasta from Italy, like Jovial, wins hands down! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since pasta originated in Italy. But what I was surprised about is the other Jovial Foods are also from Italy! The photo below shows the products they sent me.
Jovial Gluten Free Pasta and Products Review:
I was so excited to try the traditional egg Gluten Free pasta! I have missed eating a great tasting, good mouth feel Gluten-Free egg pasta! Although I was sent spaghetti noodles I really wanted to taste the wide egg noodles they had sent. This is the photo of them draining after boiling.
I then used the jar of diced tomatoes Jovial Foods sent to make a home-made spaghetti sauce for the pasta. The tomatoes were very sweet and flavorful! The egg pasta was so good! No one would have known it was a Gluten-Free pasta. I wish the chain restaurants would use an Italian made Gluten-Free pasta for their dishes. I know I will be buying only Italian made Gluten-Free pasta even if I have to order it online. It tastes so much better. They even have lasagna noodles that are Gluten-Free!
I found that Safeway/Carr’s in Anchorage carries Jovial Foods as does Sav-U-More in Homer where I live! I will just have to find this product and stock up! Everyone in the lower 48 this product should be easy to find…the Jovial Foods site has a store locator.
I sprinkled nutritional yeast over the spaghetti sauce I had made, giving it a cheesy flavor. I also picked my own green beans and had them with the meal.
The Gluten Free fig fruit filled organic cookies were fabulous. I wasn’t too sure at first as they were small round little cookies and I thought there wouldn’t be much fig filling, but there was a lot of filling and they have superb flavor, so much so that my husband ate 6 cookies! I will be searching for them or buying them on Jovial’s Online Store.

I would order pastas…good gluten-free pastas are hard to come by in my rural area.
i would like to order snacks, and never thought of pastas until i read this, but those would be easy to get online and in the mail, thanks!
we look for snack items and some flours that we can’t find in stores
Just checked the jovial store – I think I would just get lasagna, penne and spaghetti in he brown rice variety. I had the penne before. It is great! I made pasta with sauteed squash and kale, tomatoes and spices. Like goulash.
Online, I would order more variety of flour I can’t get in nearby stores – especially Indian bean flours.
i would order cookies and popcorn, i am on the search for gluten free popcorn for my dad, i cant find it
pasta and sweets mostly
Usually snacks or ready made mixes!
I’d be likely to order grains, pasta and snacks like crackers. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would order some snacks. I like to snack on things and that would be a great thing to have.
