The Story of Zukkee

Long before Bill met Alexandria, he was already on a mission to find truly delicious gluten-free food. While raising his daughter, who was gluten intolerant, he spent years searching grocery stores, bakeries, and health food markets for gluten-free options they could both enjoy. Despite their efforts, they rarely found anything that tasted truly satisfying.

Many years later, Bill met Alexandria, a fourth-generation Sicilian chef who happens to be both gluten and dairy intolerant and a student of chemistry. As every baker knows, baking is chemistry.

Together they began experimenting with alternative flours, fermentation techniques, and baking methods. What emerged from those experiments were small masterpieces of bread and granola that go far beyond most gluten-free foods in taste, texture, enjoyment, and nourishment.

From their little cottage bakery in Laguna Beach, California, Bill and Alexandria began sharing samples with the owners and chefs of some of Orange County’s best bakeries and eateries. The reaction was always the same:

"I can’t stop eating this… are you sure this is gluten-free?"

At their first public offering of Zukkee bread to several hundred people, their entire inventory disappeared within moments.

It was phenomenal.

Today, that same passion and craftsmanship goes into every Zukkee product. Each loaf and every batch of granola is made with all-natural ingredients, thoughtfully sourced, and always 100% gluten-free.

From our kitchen to yours,

Love & Health,
Bill & Alexandria
