Linguine is a type of pasta originating from Liguria, shaped like a small, flat, narrow tagliatelle. Linguine pairs well with sauces made with fresh tomatoes, vegetables, and aromatic herbs, as well as quick, spicy sauces made with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, chilli pepper, anchovies, etc., as well as fish-based sauces with shellfish and seafood. The company was founded in the 1970s, after years of research and systematic studies on typical Italian food products, shapes, packaging, names and communication systems. The company began its adventure with a small pastry shop and with a line of cantucci, new in shape and taste, but respectful of tradition and authenticity and rigorously handmade. Soon the cantucci were joined by other high-quality artisanal products, such as pasta. Over time the company has expanded without forgetting respect for processing methods, some of which are still entirely manual. The company's main objective is to safeguard the ancient Italian flavors and gastronomic traditions of the much-vaunted Mediterranean diet, while remaining at the forefront in terms of standards and certifications. Over the years, Michele Portoghese products have become synonymous with quality, authenticity and craftsmanship. Production is divided into three segments: Sweet Line, Savory Line and Pasta.
