<p>Never underestimate the determination of a parent whose child has a food allergy. Before starting Jovial, the founders were on a mission to find alternative ingredients that wouldn’t aggravate their daughter’s symptoms from <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/what-is-gluten" target="_blank">gluten sensitivity</a>. Einkorn—an ancient wheat—was the answer, and they turned their discovery into a business to help others, too. Today the brand offers a popular line of gluten-free flours, crackers, pastas, plus sauces, beans, and olive oil all packaged in glass containers to avoid harmful chemicals like BPA. </p>

<h2>The History of Jovial</h2>

<p>Husband and wife Carla and Rodolfo met in Bologna, Italy, in the 1980s while she was studying abroad. After they married and started a family, the couple discovered their young daughter had a severe allergy to modern wheat. Soon, they were on a quest to go beyond organic and create high-quality, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/diets/gluten-free-diet" target="_blank">gluten-free foods</a> for their family. While researching other wheat varieties, they came across einkorn—a nutritious and flavorful ancient grain that helped their daughter thrive. By chance, they happened to meet a local einkorn farmer at an elementary school dinner and quickly formed a partnership. </p>

<h2>Jovial Company Mission</h2>

<p>By offering a line of high-quality, gluten-free products, Jovial hopes to help other families remove the constant worry of food allergies and inspire them to enjoy life and celebrate good food. It’s a mission directly inspired by one couple’s journey to support their daughter after discovering she had a severe gluten sensitivity.</p>

<h2>Benefits of Jovial</h2>

<p>Jovial works with local artisans to offer the best pasta, olive oil, and flour.</p><br>

<ul>
<li><b>Einkorn flour: </b>Grown in Tuscany, einkorn is de-husked and packed onsite by dedicated farmers, who use crop rotation methods to ensure the healthiest wheat possible</li>
<li><b>Gluten-free pasta:</b> Made by a family who have been pioneering gluten-free pasta since 1970</li>
<li><b>Olive oil:</b> Pressed using traditional methods and three ancient varieties of olives—Favarol, Grignano, and Nostrano</li>
</ul>
