Excellent for Celiac

Cassava Empanadas is an absolute haven for anyone who has ever stared longingly at a pastry case, wishing for worry-free flavor. This is a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility—everything from empanadas to pizzas and Brazilian cheese bread is crafted without a speck of wheat, and their ingredient transparency is second to none. They go the extra mile by routinely testing their dough to ensure it's well below 20ppm, and their kitchen is fiercely guarded from cross-contamination (honestly, it's hard not to feel safe here). For celiacs who just want to relax and enjoy chewy, golden empanadas or pillowy cheese rolls without second-guessing every bite, Cassava delivers that rare gift: peace of mind baked right in.
