Via Elisa Fresh Pasta

In their own words...

At Via Elisa, quality and freshness are the hallmarks of our work and we respect your love of pasta as one of the world's most satisfying foods. We use 100% organic flours, 100% organic semolina, eggs from free-range hens and luxurious cheeses imported directly from Italy. Our shared time at the table should nourish the spirit as well as the body. We cherish and follow Italian methods and culinary traditions by filling our pasta with a minimal number of the finest ingredients; simple, authentic, delicious. We come to the pasta shop early and begin cooking from scratch. Via Elisa Fresh Pasta is not processed; we never destroy the outstanding flavor and texture through pasteurization.

Via Elisa is also a recipient of our Local Producer Loan Program. Via Elisa was started in 2002. Since then, Elisa Gambino has transitioned her product line from fresh pastas to pasta sauces. Note: Our Farm to Market slide shows currently feature farmers and producers from our South and MidAtlantic Regions. We hope to expand to others in the future.

Larry and I now have homemade pasta at home weekly, thanks to Elisa. I spent 6 weeks in Italy last year and Elisa's meals elicit wonderful memories of the pastas I had there.

The best ingredient at Via Elisa is not in the pasta: it's Elisa. She has a passion for her business and it shows through in the product! Bellissimo!

As an uncompromising pasta lover, I had the pressure of tasting Elisa’s pasta’s and raviolis, I have not eaten any better pasta, not even when I spent 5 weeks in Italy. My only regret it Via Pasta is located in Atlanta GA, and I live in Barnegat NJ. I’m hoping that Elisa will open a store in NJ.

How long is fresh pasta from whole foods good for if stored in the refridgerator. We bought it Saturday - is it still good on Wed?

@MARLENE - I would encourage you to reach out to the store where you purchased the fresh pasta. Since our products vary between locations they can better help answer direct questions about their specific products. You can find their contact info at http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/list.
