Mr Wannabeawog experienced weighed and shaved white truffles on his veal. No english spoken but lots of love given to the food. We also found a charming trattoria called Aldente.

Finally Mr Wannabeawog parks the car and decides we should try walking to our hotel (conveniently located in a wine cafe).

Collectively named Piccolo Pasta they are made by rolling out egg noodles which are cut and formed into three unique shapes: Egg Bonnetti (little bonnets), Tumeric Pinchetti (little pinches) and Spinach Farfalletti (little butterflies). The first of the new products were a line of little pasta shapes. “This new partnership provides us with the opportunity to introduce a wide variety of exciting new products.” “We were searching for the right solution to advance our goals” says Dennis Deschaine. Coincidentally, Alb-Gold also packages their pastas in clear bags with a gathered top, distinguishing them from other brands on store shelves Alb-Gold is one of the few companies in the world that “rolls out pasta dough” thereby successfully crafting pasta that cooks in three minutes with homemade, “tender but firm” texture. The Deschaines found the similarities between the two companies astounding.
Set in a picturesque valley, the Alb-Gold factory, restaurant and gardens draw more than 300,000 tourists per year. Both companies subscribe to a philosophy of active engagement with customers. Philosophically, both companies are committed to using the best natural ingredients from sustainable sources- fresh, cage-free eggs and wheat sourced directly from farmers. “ We were awestruck by their innovation, the quality of their pasta, and the values of the Freidler family.”Īlb-Gold has been at the forefront of the pasta industry since 1968 with on-trend products maintaining unsurpassed quality. “A few years ago we had the opportunity to visit the Alb-Gold factory located in the fertile Swabian Alps of Germany,” says Monique Deschaine. In order to respond to customer demand for diet-specific pastas the Deschaines decided to seek out a partner who had the capabilities to help grow the Al Dente brand. These passionate pioneers of the artisanal food movement have always demonstrated an ability to recognize and capitalize on trends in the food world. Blending the finest ingredients with traditional, small-batch production, Al Dente is famous for its fresh taste, homemade texture and three minute cooking time. Long America’s leading artisanal pasta makers, Monique and Dennis Deschaine have been proudly rolling out Al Dente Pasta® since 1981. It’s been only one year since Al Dente Pasta Company, long considered one of America’s premiere brands of specialty pastas, formed a strategic partnership with Alb-Gold, a pasta manufacturer located in the Swabian Alps of Southern Germany and what a year it’s been! Together these two families of pasta makers successfully introduced six innovative and trend-setting pastas. Pasta for Every Taste and Lifestyle in booth 5829
