| GMO’s are plants that have been genetically changed by inserting a gene from an unrelated species. We use only approved ingredients conforming to health, safety and quality assurance standards set by the U.S. government and other governmental bodies worldwide. Our high quality ingredients include some that may be derived from genetically modified corn, soybean and canola. |

|
| Do you use hydrogenated oil in any of your products? |

The mono- and diglycerides we use are vegetable derived and provide the product quality and taste our customers enjoy. |

| BOBOLI Italian Pizza Crusts give you the advantage, as well as the freedom, to create a pizza to your specifications, with your own fresh ingredients.

Combine meats, cheeses, seafood, vegetables, tofu…. even fruits and custard. Click here for more recipe ideas |

|
|
| Can I freeze BOBOLI? |

|
|
|
| Where does the name "BOBOLI" originate? |
| BOBOLI is named for Giardino di Boboli (Boboli Garden) located on the grounds of the Pitti Palace in Florence, Italy. The garden, built in 1549 by the ruling Medici Family, is open to the public and considered to be one of the world’s most inviting, with fountains, sculpture and shaded walkways. Not incidentally, the Boboli Garden is also considered to be one of the best places in the city for a picnic. |
|
|
|
| Is BOBOLI edible right from the package? |
| Sure. It’s fully baked. Toss a BOBOLI into a picnic basket, or take one to work to enjoy at lunch time or right there on the job. Think of BOBOLI as a great means of expressing yourself. There really is no wrong way to eat one! |
|
|
|
| Do I need to blanch vegetables before putting on a BOBOLI? |
| If you like. Some people prefer their vegetables to be a bit softer, and if you are among them, go right ahead. Just remember to undercook them slightly if you are going to heat the entire pizza after topping it. But whether your vegetables are blanched or uncooked, putting them on a BOBOLI is the perfect choice! |
|
|
|
| Can I refrigerate BOBOLI? |
| We don’t recommend it. Refrigeration accelerates the "staling" process. If you have a BOBOLI still in the original, unopened package, freezing is the recommended procedure. Unwrap and defrost at room temperature. |
|
|
|
| What is that brown stuff on top of my BOBOLI? |
| That "brown stuff" is something we’re very proud of. It’s our delicious, oven-baked mozzarella cheese, one of the ingredients that gives BOBOLI its hearty flavor. Now that you know, perhaps you’ll think of it as "great stuff." |
|
|
|
| What side is the top of the BOBOLI? |
| The top of your BOBOLI is the side you can see through the front of the wrapper, the side with all the bubbles and baked mozzarella. If you turn it over you will notice that the bottom of your BOBOLI pizza is covered with bread crumbs. |
|
|
|
| For how long is a BOBOLI fresh? |
| Be sure to use your BOBOLI Pizza Crust by the date indicated on the package. Since a BOBOLI is so tempting, that really shouldn’t be a problem. |
|
|
|
| Can I reseal the package after opening? |
| Your BOBOLI Pizza Crust should be used shortly after opening the package. However, while Boboli packaging is not resealable, you may store your leftover crust in a sealed plastic bag. |
|
|
|

|
|
| Why are the hooks on top of a BOBOLI package different colors? |
| You’ll be surprised to learn that they are there for your benefit! The various color codes are used by our BOBOLI retail sales representatives to determine the day of the week they have been placed on your grocers’ shelves. As freshness is monitored, all those of a single color are removed, thereby assuring you of the freshest possible BOBOLI Pizza Crust! |
|
|
|
| Do I need to put seasoning on a BOBOLI? |
| It’s all a matter of personal taste. We know some who insist that eating them plain is the only "true BOBOLI experience." However, a BOBOLI may be reinvented and seasoned in as many ways as you can imagine. Try Creole seasoning with shrimp, Herbs Provencale with grilled chicken, or just shower pepper sauce on one and indulge yourself! There is no wrong way to season a BOBOLI. |
|
|
|
| How many people does a 12" BOBOLI serve? |
| The BOBOLI package states that it contains eight servings. If your group has a heartier appetite, you may want to slice it into four servings. |
