Ollin Launches Heritage Grain Cake Mixes That Rethinks the Gluten Narrative

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Alyssa Fernandez for Ollin

MCKINNEY, TX (2025)Ollin announced today the launch of its heritage grain cake mixes, available in two varieties – Golden Hour Yellow and Anyday Chocolate – both crafted with stone-milled Texas-grown grains and available May 17th direct-to-consumer via ollinyall.com and to retailers through Faire.

Each box features TAM 105, a hard red wheat variety developed by Texas A&M in 1976, paired with heritage grains like spelt and rye. The products address four aspects of conventional flour processing: roller-milling, bleaching, synthetic enrichment, and artificial preservatives.

“The problem isn’t wheat itself – it’s what modern processing has done to it,” states founder Alyssa Fernandez. “We’re focusing on quality sourcing and traditional processing methods that preserve the grain’s natural properties.”

Working with Texas millers and farmers, Ollin employs stone-milling techniques that maintain grain integrity. Every mix is hand-packed in McKinney, supporting local food systems and Texas agricultural traditions.

To purchase Ollin cake mixes, starting May 17th, visit www.ollinyall.com.

About Ollin

Ollin creates heritage grain cake mixes using stone-milled wheat varieties with a focus on traditional processing methods. Founded in McKinney, Texas by Alyssa Fernandez in 2024, the company’s name—meaning “movement” or “to come full circle” in Nahuatl—reflects its mission to return to traditional milling and sourcing practices.

Ollin partners with Texas farmers to source locally-grown heritage grains. The company emphasizes stone-milling methods that preserve grain integrity rather than industrial processing techniques. Ollin currently offers two cake mix varieties: Golden Hour Yellow and Anyday Chocolate, crafted for consumers seeking traditionally processed wheat products.
