Almondy celebrates 10 year milestone with gluten free cakes
Abstract
Swedish bakery, Almondy is celebrating 10 years of serving the UK foodservice sector with gluten free cakes.

The bakery launched in the UK in 2005 and has become Almondy’s most successful out of home market, globally.

Almondy now produces over 70,000 cakes per day at its state of the art bakery in Sweden – the equivalent of 15 million a year – and exports to 46 countries globally.

Managing director, Andrew Ely, said: “Ten years is a huge milestone for us and in that time Almondy has grown beyond our expectations.

“We secured our first listing with Bidvest Foodservice in 2007 and from there it has really taken off with Almondy now stocked by Brakes, as well as many others wholesalers which has helped extend our reach to restaurants, cafes, bakeries and pubs across the UK.

“The secret to Almondy's success is not just its unique flavours and innovative toppings, but also the fact that is has come to signify quality and become a brand that caterers and consumers trust.

“Couple this with the fact that Almondy's desserts are made without using flour, which means they are gluten-free, is a huge selling point too. Kent and Lennart were clearly ahead of their time when developing these cakes as today we all know gluten-free has become an important and lucrative market!”
