Choosing a plant-based diet doesn’t mean giving up the pleasures of the table, it means rediscovering the true essence of ingredients. In Tuscany, the land of premium olive oil and sun-drenched vegetables, tradition now meets the demand for a more ethical and sustainable kitchen.
Glicine produces gourmet plant-based preserves in Tuscany, gluten and lactose free, designed for those with food intolerances or those who choose a more mindful lifestyle without sacrificing taste. While it’s often assumed that a sauce without animal-derived ingredients is less flavorful, our philosophy proves exactly the opposite.
Gastronomia Glicine stands out for its artisanal production of delicious, ethical food tailored to specific dietary needs. This is made possible by a network of selected producers and artisans who share our core values: sustainable, allergen-free, and high-quality food.
On Glicine Market, the marketplace created by Gastronomia Glicine, you can find our curated selection of vegan pasta sauces. Each one is prepared with the utmost attention to allergen safety, ingredient traceability, and rigorous production standards.
Among our flagship products, we offer five premium vegan pasta sauces, crafted from the finest raw materials with a deep commitment to sustainability. Every jar embodies a love for the land and respect for its natural cycles, providing a healthy, ready-to-use, and incredibly appetizing alternative. Discover them all! Our jars are available in 530g and 190g formats.
Our “fake ragù” is a typical sauce of the Tuscan tradition prepared without meat, but rich in vegetables and aromas that give it a full and surprisingly tasty flavor. Once created as a humble alternative when meat was a luxury, it has evolved into a staple of high-end plant-based cuisine that delights every palate.
The secret of this recipe? A slow-cooked soffritto of carrots, celery, and onions that enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes. This process transforms a classic Tuscan heritage recipe into a vegan and naturally gluten-free alternative.
How to enjoy it at its best: dressing for long pasta, potato gnocchi, or vegetarian lasagnas with an authentic flavor.

Our vegan pasta sauce with cherry tomatoes, enriched with sun-dried tomatoes and chopped almonds, is a pesto with an intense color and a rich taste.

You cannot talk about Tuscany without mentioning Pomarola sauce. It is the ultimate traditional vegan sauce, prepared with tomatoes and fresh vegetables, slow-cooked to achieve an authentic and home-style taste, just like the one made by our grandmothers.
The philosophy behind the preparation of this pasta sauce is a slow cooking process and a few high-quality ingredients for a smooth and natural taste. Without preservatives or allergens, Pomarola truly represents the essence of the Mediterranean diet.
