Schar

Schär is the gluten-free brand of Dr. Schär, the family-run South Tyrolean company whose story began in 1922 and which has specialised in gluten-free food since 1981. We stock the tea-tin end of the range, from the Digestive, Rich Tea and Custard Creams to the Jaffa Cakes, Chocolate Fingers and Maxi Sorrisi, because a gluten-free biscuit tin should not be an apology.

About Schar

Schär is the gluten-free brand of Dr. Schär, the family-run South Tyrolean company whose story began in 1922, when Dr. Anton Schär and Gottfried Untertrifaller made fortified semolina to tackle child malnutrition after the First World War. Ulrich Ladurner took on the name in 1979 and relaunched it in 1981 as a gluten-free brand, still headquartered at Burgstall.

Schär is for the household where one person eats gluten free and the tin still has to work for everybody. The Chocolate Fingers want an Assam behind them, with enough tannin to cut the milk chocolate; the Jaffa Cakes go the other way, the orange bright enough for an Earl Grey to pick up.
