Where to buy michetta in Milan

Stuffed with mortadella or frittata, it was a typical meal for workers, later a children's snack, and a picnic during day trips. It was the common bread, in fact, designated a typical product, a Municipal Designation of Origin by the City of Milan since 2007. But as you may have realized, michette are difficult to make and commercially uninteresting, which is why they have gradually disappeared from the city's bakeries. Not at Iper La grande i, though, where they are prepared alongside over twenty other types of bread, right before your eyes. In each store, the bread is kneaded by expert bakers using a variety of recipes—from French baguettes to typical local breads, just like the michetta. Without additives and using only the finest ingredients, they are made slowly, using traditional leavening methods such as biga and sourdough, which enhance the bread's aromas and flavors, increasing its fragrance and shelf life. With wholemeal, whole grain, and organic flours, the selection is so wide that it caters to everyone's tastes and the needs of modern life, with large and small sizes, sandwich bread, burger bread, and freshly puffed rice cakes.

At Iper La Grande i, you can rediscover the value of bread and an ancient product that deserves to be brought back to the center of the table. Iper La Grande i is a different kind of hypermarket, and it shows. Founded in 1974 with the mission of making quality accessible to all, it processes fresh products every day in its individual stores. In each store, expert bakers, butchers, pastry chefs, chefs, and fishmongers knead, slice, cook, and prepare their products before the eyes of customers. Even the michetta sandwiches, along with freshly sliced ham, are ready to take away or eat in the supermarket's restaurant area.
