Hi again folks
While I sift through your generous answers on the subject of bottles, I would like to trouble you for an opinion on the meaning of "paste" in this context:
"Selezione ricca e accurata di salumi nazionali, formaggi anche esteri, interessanti paste secche."
also (for example)
"Prodotti tipici del territorio con particolare attenzione a specialita' al proescco o al radiccio rosso (sottovetro, creme, paste, ecc.), ..."
The word appears several times in this food translation and I sometimes think it means "pasta(s)" and at other times I am sure it means "pastries". Can anyone shed any light here? Although I enjoy my food greatly, my skills are restricted to eating rather than describing.
Max Respect and TIA

Comment: "Thanks indeed Michael and your endorsers legion. I was perhaps unable to see wood for trees here but your confirmation is most welcome. Thanks to Karice70 for the useful link, Silvestro for the comprehensive info, and Laura for a creative shot, even if perhaps slightly off-target in this case.
Total Respect
Derek"

paste(s)
It's thicker than a cream. It's a general term though. It can be made of vegetables, meat etc.

Dry pasta
Careful here. The distinction is between dry pasta (maccheroni, spaghetti, ecc.) and fresh pasta (tagliolini, lasagne).
Judging also by the line of products this company sells, I would venture to say that they do not deal in pastries.
NAICS 311823: Dry Pasta Manufacturing
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing dry pasta. The establishments in this industry may package the dry pasta they manufacture with other ingredients.
The data published with NAICS code 311823 include the following SIC industry:
The following came from the U.S. Census Bureau:
2098 Macaroni and spaghetti
This definition comes from the 1997 NAICS manual. However, for this industry, the 1997 Economic Census Manufacturing did not fully implement the conversion to NAICS. Data for NAICS industry 311823 do not include dry pasta plants primarily engaged in packaging dry pasta with other ingredients. The NAICS definitions will be fully implemented with the 2002 Economic Census.
