About Us
Our Expertise
Brian Murphy is a Food Scientist with over 20 years experience in the Food Industry, the majority of it in specialised dietary needs and products. He has worked for two of the biggest European gluten-free food manufacturers, and subsequently developed his own premium range of gluten-free, wheat-free and dairy-free flours.
Using his extensive knowledge of food production he then began creating ready-baked foods which could be enjoyed by everyone and still be free from artificial additives and preservatives. We only use naturally gluten-free flours (no wheat starch) and can also offer products and recipes to those whose diets are yet more restricted, for example, customers who want to avoid eggs, soya and yeast. Our philosophy is simple, being wheat/dairy intolerant does not mean missing out on quality baked foods.
Highest quality, lowest cost
We also believe that you should be able to buy food based on quality and taste, not on price. In using his skills as a Food Scientist, Brian has been able to create recipes and products which are guaranteed to work, and require no specialist skills or knowledge to use them. Furthermore, we have kept the number of ingredients to a minimum to make everything as accessible and easy as possible, but without compromising on quality. He has done all the hard work so that our customers don't have to!
Our Mission
Bia Nua is based in Somerset, UK, in a rural village where we can live and work to the values we believe in. We are passionate about reducing our impact on the environment and doing what we can to contribute to better lifestyles for us all.
Whether you buy a slice, biscuits or bag of flour you are buying knowledge and the freedom to choose natural wholesome alternatives to a wheat-based diet. We also work hard to be accessible to customers and love to hear the feedback and suggestions that arise. Our Events page will keep you up to date with our activities and we are always delighted to receive new recipes and suggestions.
10% of our net profit goes to charitable and worthy causes.
