Olivia’s Gluten Free Stuffing – Rosemary & Sage

Description

A Gluten Free Holiday Revolution

For those living with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the holiday table can often feel like a culinary minefield. One of the most missed comfort foods is undoubtedly the stuffing, that perfect, herb-infused side dish that soaks up gravy and completes the turkey. Olivia’s Croutons Company has officially answered the “Celiac call” with their Rosemary & Sage Gluten Free Stuffing.

What sets Olivia’s apart from the “box” stuffings often found in the grocery aisle is the quality of the bread itself. Most gluten free stuffings rely on heavy starches that dissolve into a gummy paste when liquid is added. Olivia’s, however, starts with a multi-grain loaf specifically formulated for structure. By using a blend of millet, sorghum, and brown rice flours, they’ve achieved a crumb that mimics the hearty texture of traditional French or sourdough bread.

Clean Ingredients, Exceptional Flavour

Transparency is at the heart of Olivia’s Journey. This stuffing features a “truly clean” ingredient label. You won’t find mysterious preservatives or artificial flavour enhancers here. Instead, the flavour profile is built on a foundation of:

Savoury Herbs: A fragrant trio of rosemary, sage, and thyme.
Aromatic Bases: Granulated onion and garlic for deep, savory notes.
Natural Texture: A mix of arrowroot, potato, and tapioca starches to ensure the perfect “bite.”

It’s also sweetened naturally with a touch of honey, providing a subtle balance to the earthy herbs and sea salt. Because it’s Non-GMO Project Verified and Vermont Organic Farmers Certified, you can serve it with confidence, knowing it meets the highest standards of food quality.

Versatility Beyond the Turkey

While this stuffing is the perfect companion for a Thanksgiving turkey, its utility in the kitchen goes far beyond the holidays. Because the cubes hold their shape so well, they are excellent for:

• Stuffed Squash: Use the prepared stuffing to fill acorn or butternut squash for a vegetarian-friendly autumn meal.
• Pork Chop Filling: Create a pocket in thick-cut pork chops and stuff with the rosemary and sage mix before searing.
• Leftover Waffles: A fan favorite! Mix leftover prepared stuffing with an egg and a dash of broth, then press into a waffle iron for a crispy, savory breakfast.

Easy Preparation for a Stress-Free Meal

Holiday cooking is stressful enough, which is why Olivia’s has kept the preparation simple. The gluten free recipe on the package is straightforward: sauté some fresh onion and celery in butter (or a dairy-free alternative), add your choice of broth, and toss in the stuffing cubes. In just 10 minutes, the liquid is absorbed, and you have a moist, flavourful side dish that smells exactly like a traditional holiday kitchen.

Seasonal Availability

It is important to note that Olivia’s Gluten Free Stuffing is a seasonal specialty. Typically becoming available every September, it is a highly anticipated release. We recommend stocking up when it hits the shelves to ensure your pantry is ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and those cozy Sunday roasts in between.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product

1. Is Olivia’s Rosemary & Sage Stuffing dairy-free?
The stuffing mix itself does not contain dairy (it uses canola oil and honey). However, the traditional preparation calls for butter. To make it completely dairy-free, simply substitute the butter with your favorite plant-based margarine or olive oil.

2. Does this product contain eggs?
Yes, the gluten free bread cubes used in the mix contain egg whites to help provide the necessary structure and “spring” that gluten free bread often lacks.

3. Can I make this stuffing ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can prepare the stuffing through the mixing stage and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake it in a casserole dish at 350°F for 30–40 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.

4. Is the facility where this is made safe for Celiac Disease?
Yes! Olivia’s produces their gluten free line in a dedicated gluten free facility, which eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat products.

5. How much stuffing is in one box?
One 9oz (255g) box yields approximately 10 to 12 servings when prepared, making it ideal for a standard family gathering.

6. Can I use this for “in-the-bird” stuffing?
Yes, these sturdy cubes are excellent for stuffing a turkey or chicken. They absorb the juices of the bird without becoming overly mushy, maintaining a pleasant texture.
