Gluten-free croquettes · ASOCECA members

Gluten-free croquettes, made just like the ones you've always known.

Our own fryer, our own oil and all production gluten-free so gluten particles never reach your plate. Same recipe, same texture — only the flour changes.

Why our gluten-free ones are different

Reviewed kitchen

Members of ASOCECA

The Coeliac Association of the Canary Islands has reviewed our kitchen, our process and our utensils. It is not a sticker stuck on; it is someone who has come to look at it.

Dedicated fryer

Its own oil, only for gluten-free

We have a separate fryer that only touches the gluten-free ones, with its own oil. We do not share batch, fat or basket.

All our production

Gluten-free, any day

Today all our production is gluten-free. It no longer depends on a set day: we make gluten-free croquettes any day of the week. Together with powerful extraction, airborne particles are kept to a minimum.

Flavours gluten-free available

13 flavours with a gluten-free version. Same mould, same béchamel, only the flour changes. Tap any croquette and you land on its page with the gluten-free version already selected.

This is how we make them without a single gram of gluten getting near

Step 1

A kitchen without wheat flour

Before we start, we clear away any leftovers. All our production is gluten-free, so wheat flour never goes into the process, and the extraction system keeps the air fresh.

Step 2

Gluten-free flour and coating

Béchamel, filling, shaping and coating are all done with gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Its own fryer, its own oil

When your order of fried ones comes in, we make it in the dedicated gluten-free fryer — the one that only touches this, with its own oil that it does not share with anything else.

Frequently asked questions

How do you avoid cross-contamination with gluten? ▾
We are members of ASOCECA (the Coeliac Association of the Canary Islands) and they have already reviewed our kitchen and the way we make our croquettes. All our production is gluten-free, we have a fryer used only for gluten-free croquettes with its own oil, and a very powerful extraction system to keep airborne particles to a minimum.
When do you make the gluten-free croquettes? ▾
Any day of the week. All our production is gluten-free, so we no longer keep it to a set day.
Do you make them fried and frozen? ▾
Yes, in both formats. We make the fried ones for you in the dedicated gluten-free fryer so you can take them away freshly made; the frozen ones you take home and they go straight into the freezer. The minimum online lead time depends on how many croquettes you order: up to 60 croquettes, same day; 61 to 99, next day; 100 to 499, 2 days; 500 to 999, 4 days; from 1000, 7 days.
Where can you buy the gluten-free croquettes in Las Palmas? ▾
At our physical shop on José y María 34 (Lomo Los Frailes, Las Palmas), Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00 to 15:00. You can also order them through the website and come to collect them whenever you like within the opening hours.
Do you have gluten-free flavours that are also vegan or lactose-free? ▾
Yes. Each flavour has its dietary labels on the product page (gluten-free, vegan, lactose-free). Tap any croquette on the grid of this page: you land on its page with the gluten-free version already selected, and there you'll see whether that flavour is also lactose-free or vegan.
How long do the frozen croquettes last? ▾
In your home freezer they keep perfectly for several months without losing texture. You will see the exact best-before date on the label of the pack you take away. The key thing: straight from the freezer to the pan or the fryer, without defrosting first.

Has it been a while since you ate real croquettes?

We know how hard it is to ask for "a gluten-free one" and get strange looks. Not here: each product page tells you clearly which flavours have a gluten-free version, made with a dedicated fryer and oil.
