Reset Your Pantry in With New Launches from Seggiano

If you thought gluten free meant dull and boring, or you were bewildered about what Veganuary might hold for you besides some weird looking vegetable things in the super market; you should rethink your entire approach because the chefs at Seggiano have been working hard to bring some new and very exciting products to their already impressive range. 

NEW! Corn & Rice Spaghetti: New to the Seggiano Gluten Free Pasta Range 

Crafted in the artisan tradition, this organic gluten free spaghetti is made from a carefully balanced blend of corn and rice flour. Bronze drawn and slow dried at low temperatures, the process preserves flavour and delivers a satisfying bite that challenges expectations of gluten free pasta. 

The subtle sweetness of rice complements the robust structure of corn, creating a well-balanced texture that holds sauces beautifully. Certified gluten free and plant-based, it is a versatile cupboard staple that works just as well with a classic tomato and basil sauce as it does with a simple drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. 

A reminder that gluten free pasta does not have to compromise on flavour, texture or pleasure. 

Size: 250g 

Price: £5.10 

NEW! Corn & Rice Spaghetti: Corn & Rice Tagliatelle  

This organic gluten free tagliatelle is crafted from a simple blend of corn and rice flour, made using traditional pasta-making methods. Bronze drawn and slow dried at the better, low temperatures, the process delivers a firm, well-defined ribbon with a clean, balanced flavour. 

The gentle sweetness of rice softens the robust structure of corn, creating a satisfying texture that holds richer sauces with ease. Certified gluten free and plant-based, this tagliatelle is ideal for everything from a silky olive oil finish to slow-cooked ragùs. 

Proof that gluten free pasta can be every bit as indulgent, structured and versatile as the classic. 

Size: 250g 

Price: £5.10 

NEW! Chickpea & Rice Tagliatelle: New to the Seggiano Gluten Free Pasta Range 

This organic gluten free ribbon pasta is crafted from a blend of chickpea and rice flour, offering a naturally warm, gently nutty flavour profile. Made using traditional methods, it is bronze drawn and again is slow dried at low temperatures to preserve both texture and taste. 

Chickpeas bring depth, plant-based protein and fibre, while rice adds balance and subtle sweetness. The result is a firm, satisfying pasta that holds its shape and pairs effortlessly with everything from light olive oil dressings to richer, layered sauces. 

A distinctive, artisan alternative that proves gluten free pasta can be flavour-led, nourishing and deeply satisfying. 

Size: 250g 

Price: £5.10 

NEW! Amaranth, Teff & Quinoa Conchiglie: New to the Seggiano Gluten Free Pasta Range 

This organic gluten free shell pasta is crafted from a considered blend of ancient grains, amaranth, teff and quinoa, bringing depth and character to a classic shape. Made using traditional methods, it is bronze drawn and slow dried at low temperatures to protect flavour and achieve a satisfying bite. 

The naturally earthy, gently nutty qualities of these grains create a pasta with real complexity. The shell shape is designed to cradle sauces, making it equally suited to simple olive oil dressings or more generous, layered recipes. 

A flavour-led gluten free pasta that celebrates ancient grains, craftsmanship and versatility. 

Size: 250g 

Price: £5.10 

NEW! Corn & Rice Maccheroni: New to the Seggiano Gluten Free Pasta Range 

This organic gluten free maccheroni is crafted from a balanced blend of corn and rice flour, made using time-honoured artisan techniques. Bronze drawn and slow dried at low temperatures, the process protects flavour while delivering a firm, reliable bite. 

The subtle sweetness of rice works in harmony with the robust structure of corn, resulting in a pasta that holds its shape and performs exceptionally well with sauce. Its traditional tubular form is designed for heartier, fuller-bodied recipes. 

A dependable gluten free staple that brings structure, flavour and versatility to everyday cooking. 

Size: 375g 

Price: £5.10 

NEW! Pistachio Pesto 

This pistachio pesto is bold, indulgent and unapologetically rich, made with over 50% pistachios for a luxuriously creamy texture. Blended with extra virgin olive oil, chilli and salt, it delivers buttery sweetness up front, followed by a gentle, warming heat. 

It is the kind of condiment that instantly transforms a dish. Toss it through hot pasta and it melts into the strands, spoon it over roasted vegetables for depth, or spread it thickly onto crostini for an effortless yet impressive bite. A small amount goes a long way. 

Naturally gluten free and vegan, this is a pesto designed to bring flavour, confidence and a little drama to everyday cooking. 

Size: 190g 

Price: £9.75 

NEW! Tomato & Almond Trapanese Pesto 

This vibrant Sicilian pesto captures the sun-soaked flavours of western Sicily, inspired by the coastal town of Trapani where ripe tomatoes and almonds are celebrated ingredients. Fresh, savoury and gently warming, it offers a regional twist on the classic green pesto. 

Made with sun-ripened tomato pulp and paste, Sicilian almonds, basil, garlic and oregano, the flavour is bright and rounded, with a subtle hint of chilli adding depth. Crafted by the same artisan producer behind our Wild Fennel & Tomato Pesto, it delivers freshness and character in every spoonful. 

Stir it through pasta for an instant taste of southern Italy, spoon it over grilled vegetables, or use it to lift simple dishes with colour and confidence. Made without fillers or preservatives, just real ingredients and unmistakable Sicilian flair. 

Size: 190g 

Price: £5.85

NEW! Artichoke & Garlic Sauce 

This velvety artichoke and garlic blend is crafted in the hills of Piemonte by a small-scale producer working the traditional way. Made using freshly harvested artichokes rather than preserved ones, it delivers a clean, rounded flavour and a naturally creamy texture. 

Blended simply with olive oil, garlic and a touch of sea salt, the result is elegant yet comforting, with the gentle sweetness of artichoke balanced by savoury depth. It is equally at home stirred through warm pasta, spooned onto bruschetta or served cold as part of an antipasti spread. 

Naturally vegan and gluten free, with no fillers, preservatives or artificial flavourings, this is a quietly luxurious pantry staple that celebrates regional craft and honest ingredients.

Chic Christmas Entertaining the Italian way 

Seggiano’s Festive Pavlova Wreath is a glutenfree Christmas centrepiece, ideal for elegant entertaining or a wow dessert. 

A baked crisp meringue wreath crackles under cloud-like whipped cream, topped with jewel-bright seasonal fruits (pomegranate, figs, berries, clementines), then finished with Seggiano honey or lemon curd for an Italian flair. 

Ingredients 

6 medium egg whites 

330g caster sugar 

TO FILL AND DECORATE: 500ml double cream, selection of fresh fruit - we used figs, raspberries, clementines and pomegranate seeds 

SEGGIANO Chocolate Clementines 

SEGGIANO Super Dense Fig Balsamic Glaze 

Method 

Step 1 - Preheat the oven 

Preheat oven to 150 c 

Step 2 - Prepare the tray 

Line a large flat baking tray with non-stick baking paper and draw a 30cm circle in the centre of the paper. 

Step 3 - Beat the egg whites 

Use an electric whisk or stand mixer to beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar a spoonful at a time and whisk on maximum speed until the egg white are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is removed.

Step 4 - Create the meringue wreath 

Spoon the meringue onto the baking paper in large spoonful’s using the circle you drew as a guide to create a wreath shape. Use the back of a spoon to create some swirls and create a shallow indentation for the cream and fruit to sit in. 

Step 5 - Bake the meringue 

Turn down the oven to 140 c and bake for 1.5 hours. Once cooked, turn the oven off and leave the meringue inside until it has cooled completely. 

Step 6 - Decorate the wreath 

When ready to decorate, carefully peel off the baking paper and transfer the meringue to a serving plate. Softly whip the cream and spoon over the meringue. Top with your chosen fruit and chopped chocolate covered clementines. 

Step 7 - To finish 

For the extra flourish, drizzle with Super Dense Fig Balsamic Glaze. 

Seggiano’s Chocolate and Orange Trifles are the perfect quick dessert for festive entertaining.  

Layers of crunchy Chocolate and Orange Cantuccini biscuits, Sicilian mandarin conserve, silky custard, and whipped cream come together with fresh clementines and dark chocolate shavings for a rich yet refreshing treat. This simple recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare and delivers all the indulgence of a showstopping dessert with minimal effort. 

Ingredients 

200g SEGGIANO Chocolate and Orange Cantuccini 

2 tbs SEGGIANO Sicilian Mandarin Conserve 

3 tbsp Orange Liqueur 

2 tbsp water 

400g ready made vanilla custard 

150ml double cream 

1 tsp vanilla paste or extract 

2 or 3 clementines - peeled and sliced 

Grated dark chocolate to garnish 

Method 

Step 1 - Prepare the glasses or bowls 

Break the Cantuccini into pieces and lay in the bottom of 4 glasses or small bowls. Reserve a few pieces for decoration. 

Step 2 - Mix the orange sauce 

Mix the mandarin conserve with the orange liqueur and water (use 5 tbsp of water as an alternative to the liqueur if you prefer a non-boozy trifle). Spoon over the Cantuccini, dividing it equally between the glasses. 

Step 3 - Whip the cream 

Softly whip the cream and vanilla together. 

Step 4 - Build the trifle 

Spoon the custard on top of the Cantuccini then alternate with slices of clementine to fill the glasses. Finish with a layer of whipped cream. 

Step 5 - Finishing touches 

Garnish with grated chocolate and the reserved Cantuccini.
