And now..?

We leave the original text of the post, but unfortunately, after more than two years without increasing the prices of our gluten-free products by a single cent, and after having noted that the increases in EVERYTHING have not slowed down at all and there really doesn't seem to be this will on the part of any of our suppliers, it has become impossible to support all these increases without adjusting our offers, unfortunately.
But we will try to limit the increases and we promise to adjust our prices downwards as soon as possible, even if speculation on the current situation is really aggressive.

Thank you!

The war, Covid, the energy crisis, the much feared supply crisis, but also the"crazy" increase in prices of practically all products, electricity and gas bills, etc.etc. These are all things that are now the order of the day.

There would be enough for yet another Hollywood "disaster movie", if it weren't for the fact that this time it's not a disappointing screenplay but the crude reality.

In our little world of gluten-free things are not Very diverse: everything has increased, from 10% up to 300% for some raw materials. And when we say "everything" we really mean everything. From rice flour to yeast, from adhesive labels to energy bills, from scotch tape for wrapping parcels to packaging envelopes. Everything skyrocketed in a matter of weeks.

So what now?

Raise prices of our gluten-free products would be the simplest and most immediate solution. It's a shame, however, that we are all in the same boat and it is unthinkable to impose a price increase on our precious customers, especially given that gluten free products are certainly not among the cheapest!

Decrease the quality of our products would not make any sense: trying to save money by using poor quality ingredients and raw materials would only mean ruining the good things we have built up to now. It would be stupid to even think so.

We only have one way to maintain our current prices and quality standards, and that is compromise with everything else.

That is to say save and optimize where possible.

It means, for example, change the type of packaging and use larger bags that can contain a greater number of products, to use less and save money.
Means put a minimum of 6/8 products on sale by type, offering a discount on purchases greater than each single sales unit, so as to optimize production and energy consumption but still allow the customer to save something.
Means delete paid SMS notifications that the courier sends to customers, and only leave notifications via email.
Means increase slightly the threshold above which shipping is free: from €75 to €79.90.

Of course it is definitely not a "painless" approach, but as written before, it is a matter of acceptance compromise so as not to damage it at all quality of our artisanal offer, maintain unchanged prices as much as possible and continue to do so research and development, to offer even better products, handmade, without colorings or preservatives, with enthusiasm, curiosity and genuine interest in our work.
