| Nope, but I have used Bio-nature which I saw you mentioned and it makes a lovely salad. |

Thanks TEC- I saw that you had done that in a different pasta thread (which is actually why I bought the Bio Naturae in the first place!). I have both kinds right now, and they just started carrying Schar at my local grocery store so I was debating which to try in a salad today.

| Oh Bionaturae is great stuff! I'm not sure I've ever seen the Schar pasta before though, in fairness. |

ok...well for today's salad I'll go with the Bio naturae...given the positive feedback. Plus I haven't had pasta salad in well over a year!
If anyone else has any thoughts on the Schar pasta cold for future reference I'd love to hear it. Maybe I'll try it next week and I'll post the results.

A dear friend of mine loves the Schar pasta and says it's almost as good as the Bia-Glut which is now impossible to find. We were talking about it in a hot application so I don't know how it is in a salad.
Schar products have really been popping up all over the Chicago area. Love seeing the Schar table crackers at the mainstream grocery stores! |

It is pretty awesome. They just came in this week I think. All of a sudden there is pasta, bread, crackers and pizza crusts! I couldn't believe it.

Yes, the products have been popping up around here, too--pizza crusts, crostini sticks, dinner rolls, sandwich bread, ladyfingers, etc.

Schar is just about as good as BiAglut

Well, the pasta salad was really good! I actually liked it almost better the second day which was completely shocking. I like the bio naturae...I feel like you can definitely taste the potato flour in there...so it was a bit of an adjustment. But it seems more like real pasta to me.
I'll try the schar cold next week...and post the results.
Thanks again!

I just read about Schar in the Living Without magazine and when I looked on their website where to find them in the Chicagoland area, it gave me amazons website. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open!

While several of the stores here carry Schar stuff, that's one heck of a drive for some GF pasta.  Perhaps it'll eventually move closer. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

It literally just arrived last week at my Jewel which is pretty close to downtown.

How expensive is the Schar pasta? I am OK with Trader Joe's pasta, and it's pretty inexpensive. I am almost afraid to try a more expensive brand. What if I really like and I can't afford to buy it?
