Excellence is at home here<\/strong>each place has its own history and tradition is the pride of an entire country. But of all these excellences,\u00a0there is one in particular that is right up my alley: the\u00a0Pasta Cuomo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And today, dear friends, I really want to tell you about this wonderful company and the very interesting activities it carries out.<\/p>\n

The history of the Pasta Cuomo company<\/h3>\n

The foundation stone of the company was laid no less than 200 years ago,\u00a0in 1820, when Nicolino Cuomo opened his first pasta factory in the central Via Roma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The business grew over time and successfully: in the early 1900s, the pasta factory employed as many as 70 Gragnano employees.<\/p>\n

In 1936, Alfonso and Giacomo headed the company, but the war in Africa forced them to put a stop to their activities and leave as soldiers.<\/p>\n

After a long business closure,\u00a0it is Mariano Cuomo who decides to breathe new life into that project<\/strong>\u00a0which has always been a family passion and identity. Mariano\u00a0also involves their children Amelia, Anna and Alfonso in this new adventure<\/strong>thus being able to count on varied know-how to restore strength to a 200-year-long dream.<\/p>\n

Today Pasta Cuomo is a company with a young soul,\u00a0produces durum wheat semolina pasta, relying on slow and careful processing<\/strong>following the secrets of the master pasta makers of the ancient Cuomo generations.<\/p>\n

The activities of Pastificio Cuomo<\/h3>\n

Alongside the production of the delicious pasta, the new Cuomo generations have added a variety of activities that allow you to fully enter the authentic soul of a unique place, so that you can enjoy an experience that embraces all the senses.<\/p>\n

Pasta Cuomo Tour & Bistrot<\/h3>\n

It is very interesting\u00a0see up close where pasta is 'born<\/strong>how it is produced and with what machinery. It is a peculiar experience, a bit retro and a bit modern, but definitely recommended.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

There are also outdoor tours to discover the ancient Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills) or the ancestral pasta factory from the 1800s.<\/p>\n

And then, at the end of the tour,\u00a0enjoy a stop at the Pastificio Cuomo Bistrot<\/strong>where you can taste the delicious Cuomo pasta with local 0-kilometre products: fantastic!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cookery schools and tastings<\/h3>\n

If you want to learn how to make pasta at home the old-fashioned way and cook like our grandmothers, don't miss out\u00a0the Fusilli Class and the Cooking Class. Two fun and very informative activities<\/strong>where you will be able to juggle in the kitchen under the guidance of experienced instructors. Lessons are also available for groups, children and online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Of course,\u00a0there is no shortage of tasting routes to bask in,<\/strong>\u00a0the perfect ending to a perfect day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sleeping in an old pasta factory: BNPasta<\/h3>\n

It is exciting to sleep there where there was once a frenzy of activity, where the pasta strands were left to dry in the sun and the sweet Gragnano air.<\/p>\n

The Cuomo family's magnificent bed and breakfast\u00a0is located in a building dating back to the 1800s, which has now been redesigned to offer high-level hospitality<\/strong>\u00a0to those who stay there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pasta Cuomo Museum<\/h3>\n

A unique project that will soon be inaugurated,\u00a0a virtual exploration into the old factory, discovering the dynamics and production processes of yesteryear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The guide will be the avatar of the ancestor Nicolino Cuomo, founder of the pasta factory: a journey back in time, using new technologies.<\/p>\n
