\n Helen and Angelo Sarleti are the owners and managers of The Gluten Free World, located at 41 Church Street in Runcorn.\n<\/p>\n
\n The business officially opened in 2022, beginning as a home-based operation before expanding into the Old Town of Runcorn.\n<\/p>\n
\n Their bakery now serves a growing customer base, both locally and nationwide.\n<\/p>\n
\n Helen and Angelo both live in the area – Helen was born in Essex and raised in Italy, and Angelo is Italian.\n<\/p>\n
\n The decision to specialise in gluten-free baking was personal.\n<\/p>\n
\n Helen has coeliac disease, and during COVID-19 found that gluten-free food options were often limited.\n<\/p>\n
\n Coeliac disease is a condition where a person’s immune system attacks their own tissues when eating gluten.\n<\/p>\n
\n Previously working in hospitality, Helen began baking at home during lockdown.\n<\/p>\n
\n Her family and friends couldn\u2019t believe her bakes were gluten-free, and her husband Angelo suggested she launch a bakery.\n<\/p>\n
\n As demand increased, Angelo, who had experience in sales and deliveries, joined the business full-time, and the Runcorn shop officially opened its doors in June 2024.\n<\/p>\n
\n The bakery specialises in gluten-free baked goods, with additional vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free options, all made completely from scratch and prepared in a strictly coeliac-safe environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Gluten Free World also offers a delivery service, with UK-wide postal orders for those who live further afield.\n<\/p>\n

\n They are a wholesale supplier to caf\u00e9s and stockists, and provide catering for events, including buffets and celebration cakes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Their mission is simple: high-quality, delicious gluten-free food that doesn\u2019t feel like a compromise.\n<\/p>\n
\n Focusing on flavour, texture, and accessibility, Helen and Angelo are keen to ensure their prices remain fair for those who rely on gluten-free diets for medical reasons.\n<\/p>\n
\n They believe customers return not just for the dietary safety, but because of how good their products taste \u2013 they claim even people who don\u2019t need to eat gluten-free regularly choose their food.\n<\/p>\n
\n Looking ahead, the couple has plans to expand their reach.\n<\/p>\n
\n Goals for the coming months include increasing nationwide postal deliveries, growing their wholesale partnerships, and introducing new menu items.\n<\/p>\n
\n With plenty in the pipeline, the future of The Gluten Free World looks very bright indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Helen and Angelo Sarleti are the owners and managers of The Gluten Free World, located at 41 Church…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[103,61,60,446],"class_list":{"0":"post-254182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
