Gluten-free culinary trends in Spain
Overview
The culinary landscape in Spain is experiencing a notable expansion in gluten-free accessibility and artisanal food trends.
In the restaurant sector, specialized establishments like Valencia’s Pizza Natura have gained popularity by offering 100% gluten-free menus using dough made from millet and quinoa. Concurrently, Madrid is seeing a rise in artisanal pizzerias that prioritize sophisticated dough techniques and long fermentation processes to meet increasing consumer demand for quality.
Beyond dining out, gluten-free options are becoming more integrated into the broader retail market. Major Spanish retailers, such as Mercadona, have significantly increased their gluten-free product offerings, growing from 50 references in 2002 to over 1,500 by 2023. This accessibility is supported by the formulation of many standard private-label products—including sauces and snacks—to be gluten-free, rather than relying exclusively on dedicated specialized aisles.
