Senatore Cappelli Orecchiette - Traditional Italian durum wheat slow-dried Pasta

Dry pasta made from durum wheat semolina “Senatore Cappelli” handcrafted in Italy by Brenda Natola. 

Orecchiette are a pasta typical of the Apulia region of Italy. Their name comes from their shape, which resembles a small ear. An orecchietta has the shape of a small dome, with its centre thinner than its edge, and with a rough surface.

This Orecchiette is made with ancient Senatore Cappelli durum wheat. A wheat that has been cultivated in Southern Italy for almost a century, characterised by the presence of important trace elements such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and zinc, with high protein and low gluten content. Excellent with vegetable sauces, perfect with simple accompaniments that enhance the flavour of the pasta itself.

Senatore Cappelli durum wheat flour is stone ground.

Senatore Cappelli durum wheat is a precious ancient variety that has not undergone alterations due to modern techniques of genetic manipulation.

The flavour, aromas and nutritional contents have been preserved unchanged over time.

It is rich in nutritional elements such as lipids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and for this reason experts attribute to this flour a high tolerability.

Being a very hard wheat it is particularly suitable for pasta which always remains al dente.
