New York, June 18th, 2018 – Monograno Felicetti is set to attend this year’s Summer Fancy Food, America’s largest specialty food and beverage Show, which will begin June 30th and run until July 2nd at the Javits Center, New York (booth #353). Here, the brand will introduce Monograno Felicetti Il Valentino (and its uniquely-large diameter) in the US market.
This year, Monograno Felicetti puts the element of simplicity at the center of its participation. Since its inception, the brand has proudly produced pasta with only three main ingredients: whole-grain flours, spring water, Dolomite mountain air. It is because of the simple yet pure nature of these elements that Monograno Felicetti has always embodied the idea that the quality of the pasta is truly what makes a dish unforgettable, not the condiments you add to it.
The Summer Fancy Food 2018 will be the perfect occasion for the brand to showcase Monograno Felicetti “Il Valentino” to the US market. Its base is the Il Cappelli variety of wheat, embodying the sun of the Murgia region where it grows. Raw, its aroma is reminiscent of jute and licorice root. Cooked, it exudes the fragrances of fresh farm milk, mashed potatoes and roasted chestnuts.
What makes Il Valentino unique though, it’s the unusual large diameter (2.4 mm or 0.095 inches), which along with the compactness of Il Cappelli semolina are elements resulting in a firm texture and a powerful concentration of flavor. Because of these unique characteristics, Il Valentino is the usual selection of Michelin Starred Chefs across the world. From this summer, the American consumer will also be able to savor this unique variety in his/her own home.
During the Summer Fancy Food, visitors will be able to come by the Monograno Felicetti booth and savor two simple yet exceptional dishes made by Guy Arnone, Sous Chef at Babbo NYC: Spaghetti al Pomodoro and Pasta alla Gricia.
Pasta alla Gricia was recently mentioned in the New York Times, talking about its almost mystical properties of its simplicity and how this dish carried generations of Italians through the political turmoil of their country. Simple quality is key.
Everyone attending the Summer Fancy Food is welcome to come by the Monograno Felicetti booth #353 to enjoy the purest water and air combined with the passion of Felicetti’s family.
