In Milan there is the yellow risotto that goes by tram and now there is also a temporary store just off the rails of the Central Station: is signed by Pasta Armando, an Irpinia company of excellence Italian food industry. The famous pasta in a suitcase, must-haves of Italian travelers, I fancy and spoil everything Italian, it's easier and more gourmet than ever! The store will remain open until June 14th.

"Irpinia, where I was born, is a beautiful and genuine land but far from the international tourist and business-travel routes – said Maria Gabriella De Matteis, of De Matteis Agroalimentare, which produces Pasta Armando – we then decided to bring some Irpinia to an important crossroads of these routes, or the Milano Centrale station ”.

And so from the lands that are now the province of Avellino, in Campania, arrives the pasta to pack in your suitcase, wheat of the Filiera Armando, conceived in practical travel packs and 2 kg boxes in the most popular formats semolina line and the whole organic line with oats, all produced by this company which is the result of an integrated production system between industry and agriculture, the so-called "Armando ecosystem": it is a sort of pact between the producer, the farmers and the agronomists, for a supply chain and a product of genuine quality.

The grain 100% Italian has a contents minimum protein content of 14.5% and from the fields go directly to the Mill: less than 10% of Italian pasta factories have their own mill and that of De Matteis Agroalimentare is among those. After the mill comes the pasta factory; the wheat is turned into pasta by mixing it with the pure water of the Irpinia springs. And there is aattention to the environment because thanks to the cogeneration plant that feeds the plant it is possible to produce in a manner sustainable. Finally, the integrated production process is fully traceable.

In addition to pasta, in the temporary store you can buy the Armando Beer, produced with the same durum wheat as the supply chain. And various tasty gadgets. Travelers will also find the personalized briefcase, limited edition, containing among other things a copy of the last successful book "Cacio & Pepe" by chef Alessandro Borghese, who attended the opening of the store on April 24th and whose recipes made with Pasta Armando are the protagonists of the TV program Alessandro Borghese Kitchen Sound, broadcast from Monday to Saturday on SkyUnoHD and SkyUno + 1.
