WINDEMERE, Fla. (Oct. 21, 2015)—Vintage Italia Pasta Chips are now available in a 20 ounce, club-sized bag at Costco Stores in the Midwest and Southeast parts of the country.
In the Midwest from Illinois to parts of Michigan and Missouri, Costco will carry Garlic Olive Oil Pasta Chips with a retail price of $5.99. In the Southeast from Georgia south to Florida Costco will carry Marinara Pasta Chips, also priced at $5.99. Other Costco regions are expected to follow shortly.
In addition, starting in November, Delta Air Lines will offer Marinara Pasta Chips on domestic flights in the First Class cabin as part of their complimentary snack service.
The addition of Costco as a retail store to Pasta Chips’ extensive distribution will expand the reach of Pasta Chips to over 17,000 stores nationwide.
Pasta Chips are the brainchild of Founder and CEO Jerry Bello, whose discovery of the popular dish of fresh pasta dough lightly baked then topped with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt during a trip to the Tuscan Countryside of Italy inspired him to recreate the dish into a crunchy snack for health-conscious consumers the world over. Bello honors Pasta Chips’ Italian heritage by using the very same semolina flour, ancient grains and Italian herbs that were celebrated more than 800 years ago.
In addition to continually expanding the line with new flavor innovation, Bello has continued to improve his product by making it not only a healthier “skinny” snack, and a GMO-free one to boot.

About Vintage Italia Pasta Chips: Born out of the hills of Tuscany, Pasta Chips were inspired by the gently baked fresh pasta that is drizzled with olive oil and served up in traditional Osterias. The first to recreate this rich, traditional food, Pasta Chips are made with the semolina flour, ancient grains, and Italian herbs that were celebrated over 800 years ago. Artisanal Pasta Chips are truly the perfect chip. Whether straight from the bag, dipped, or topped & served, they are a great source of protein, are cholesterol-free, and contain 60% less fat than potato chips and 30% less fat than pita chips. In five delectable flavors inspired by the sauces and tastes of Italy, Marinara, Alfredo, Spicy Tomato Basil, Garlic Olive Oil, Mediterranean Sea Salt, and now Veggie, Pasta Chips are available at major retailers across the nation.
