Organic Senatore Cappelli Crackers

Just one ingredient: organic Senatore Cappelli durum wheat

Crispy, light, and unsalted: the perfect base for anything you can think of.

Senatore Cappelli Crackers from the Val d'Orcia Mill

Reading the label takes a second: organic Senatore Cappelli durum wheat. Period. No oil, no yeast, no preservatives, and not even salt—which in these crackers is zero. They're made only from ancient grains, expanded and compacted, and this is evident on the palate: the flavor isn't neutral like that of many commercial crackers, but it retains the toasted and slightly sweet note of Cappelli, with that aromatic undertone that modern varieties have lost. Crispy and crumbly, they crumble when bitten into and make the perfect base for anything: sweet or savory, breakfast or dinner.
 
 
 

The roots of these biscuits sink in a pressure shot

The principle behind making a biscuit is the same as popcorn, only applied with industrial precision. Wheat kernels are heated in a mold under high pressure: the water contained within the kernel turns into steam, and when the pressure is suddenly released, that steam expands, literally exploding the starch. The kernels swell, fuse together, and in a matter of seconds become a compact, crunchy disk. This technique requires no fat, yeast, or additives: the cohesion comes solely from the starch itself. This is why biscuits are one of the very few processed foods that can truly have just one ingredient on the label—and that's why the quality of the wheat used, here an ancient variety grown organically, makes all the difference.
 
 
 

Choosing Senatore Cappelli biscuits means taking care of yourself.

The most striking feature is the salt: zero grams per 100g, a rare value among baked goods and valuable for those following a low-sodium diet or simply wanting to reduce their daily sodium intake. Added to this are 13,3g of protein and 7g of fiber per 100g, while fat is limited to 2,7g, of which just 0,5g is saturated, as none is added during processing. They are light in the literal sense of the word—a biscuit weighs just a few grams—and offer the crunchiness of bread without the same density. A simple food, perfect for those seeking a clean base for balanced snacks.

• FOR BREAKFAST, IN A SWEET VERSION: spread them with the 58% organic hazelnut spread or with 100% Organic Blueberry Spread, completed with sliced ​​fresh fruit: a light and filling breakfast in an instant.
• AS A QUICK LUNCH OR SAVORY SNACK: a base of Organic Hass Avocado crushed with salt and lemon, or the Goat ricotta with a drizzle of oil, or even a few slices of Organic Cooked Ham.
• IN THE APERITIF, WITH PâtéS AND CREAMS: they replace bread and crackers with a different crunchiness — try them with Black Itrana Olive Cream , the Organic Artichoke Cream and Slow Food® Organic Sesame Cream Tahina.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from light. Once opened, reseal the package carefully or transfer the crackers to an airtight container: humidity is their only enemy and quickly compromises their crispiness. If they do soften, a few minutes in a hot oven will restore their crispiness.
