Already #1 at retail and growing in foodservice, Tumaro’s announces a wrap solution for sandwich menus so operators can meet fast-increasing customer demand for flavorful, healthy gluten-free options.

GlutenFreewithRedPeppers_1Tumaro’s from, Blue Marble Brands, is proud to be the first manufacturer of a 12” gluten-free flour tortilla for wrap-sandwich applications and beyond, available now to foodservice operators nationwide. Made with flours from non-wheat, all-natural plant sources, Tumaro’s new 12” gluten-free tortilla has the same superior taste and mouthfeel of the company’s other gourmet tortillas—qualities that have made Tumaro’s Tortillas the #1 brand at retail. The new tortilla also offers the outstanding performance that all Tumaro’s Tortillas deliver. Fold, bend, crumple or twist—Tumaro’s new 12” gluten-free tortilla will not rip or break, which translates to additional value to operators. And thanks to a re-sealable bag, all Tumaro’s Tortillas stay fresher longer—up to nine months frozen and guaranteed fresh when sealed for up to 45 days refrigerated. Tumaro’s gluten-free tortilla is generous enough to hold all the fillings customers crave are available at a time when flour tortillas and wraps hold the second-highest percentage of menu share in sandwich breads, according to the Foodservice Research Institute. In addition to Tumaro’s latest innovation with a 12” gluten-free tortilla, the company’s portfolio of delicious, eye-appealing tortillas for foodservice includes:

  • 12 varieties of 12” Tortillas, from Rosemary & Olive Oil to Southwestern Chipotle Chili to Parmesan
