I'm typing this post sitting in our stall in the Boqueria market. Pretty much everything is in place, plus or minus a few details.
We just finished lunch and are about to start producing what should be the first batch of stuffed pasta, to be sold tomorrow morning... I am a happy man.
With just a few minor details to go, Pazzta 920 is almost open for business. I promise I will keep you posted, but if you are in Barcelona do stop by the market and say hi, maybe we can offer you a bowl of fresh pasta!
We have an extruder now. It's a little beauty. Well, not exactly little. It's more like a beatiful mammoth.
Yesterday, around 5pm, the delivery company showed up with a 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m box (I kid you not), 600kg, and pretty much left it in front of the stall for us to place it in.
We unpacked it, knowing that we had bought a slightly smaller mammoth. We had to remove one of the stall's front surfaces to make it fit, and with some help in the end the machine was in.
Yes, after what seems to be an endless wait, we're getting closer to an opening date.
Construction is close to done (this picture is a couple of days old), we now have a website: Pasta Fresca Pazzta920, and if everything goes according to plan we will have our big fat italian extruder / ravioli maker in the next few days.
It's been a long, long time to get here, and I'm quite excited about what comes next.
Hopefully I should be able to announce a date soon, but in the meantime, save this address:
Pasta Fresca Pazzta920
Parada 920-921
