What's Inside
I stopped by the ODStore at the 'Move in' shopping center in Cerro Maggiore near Malpensa Airport to pick up some Italian snacks as souvenirs.
This particular location is somewhat more spacious than the typical ODStores found in city centers, offering an extensive selection that you can spend a long time looking around.
Many items were on sale, and I was able to put together a generous selection of premium Italian chocolates and snacks at an excellent price. This helped me avoid spending time at the duty-free shops in Milan airport.
