Organic Senatore Cappelli Pasta

Bronze-Drawn Whole Wheat Pasta – Senatore Cappelli Wheat

Historic Italian wheat in a perfect format for children and traditional broths

The Organic Senatore Cappelli Pasta Predius Potantinus

Predio Potantino's Organic Senatore Cappelli Pastina S is an artisanal pasta that reclaims the most famous Italian durum wheat of the 20th century, transforming it into a small, delicate shape perfect for soups, broths, baby food, and any dish requiring a small-grain pasta. Senatore Cappelli, a durum wheat variety selected in the 1920s by agronomist Nazareno Strampelli and named after Senator Raffaele Cappelli of Abruzzo, represents the pinnacle of Italian ancient grain quality: never hybridized, growing up to 1,80 meters tall, rich in high-quality proteins, and boasting the intense flavor of authentic wheat.

This organic whole-wheat pasta is bronze-drawn, an artisanal technique that creates a porous, rough surface that perfectly absorbs broth and liquids, and slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve the wheat germ, rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential oils. The small "S" shape is ideal for broth-based soups, legume soups, vegetable purees, baby food, or as a pasta dish simply topped with extra virgin olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Quick cooking (4-5 minutes) and exceptional digestibility make this pasta perfect for infants, the elderly, and anyone seeking healthy, wholesome comfort food.
 
 
 

Senator Cappelli's roots lie in the golden age of Italian wheat

Senatore Cappelli wheat was created in 1915 by agronomist Nazareno Strampelli at the Cereal Research Center in Foggia, through genealogical selection of a North African durum wheat population called "Jenah Rhetifah," crossed with local Apulian varieties. Dedicated to Senator Raffaele Cappelli, the promoter of the agrarian reform that transformed large estates in Apulia, this wheat became the most widespread cultivar throughout Southern Italy for decades, accounting for up to 60% of the area planted with durum wheat between the 30s and 60s.

Senatore Cappelli is an "ancient" grain, not because it's thousands of years old, but because it predates the Green Revolution of the 70s, when tall, low-yielding traditional grains were replaced by high-yielding dwarf varieties. Forgotten for decades, it's now enjoying a revival thanks to organic producers who recognize its superior nutritional value, its hardiness that allows for chemical-free cultivation, and its incomparable flavor.
 
 
 

Choosing organic Senatore Cappelli pasta means eating traditional quality.

Senatore Cappelli wheat offers high-quality protein (13,8g per 100g) with an excellent amino acid profile, antioxidant vitamin E concentrated in the germ, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, zinc, and selenium. The whole-wheat flour contains fiber-rich bran and a germ rich in healthy fats and micronutrients. Being an ancient, non-dwarfed variety, its gluten is structurally different from modern wheat, often making it easier for people with non-celiac sensitivity to digest. The intense flavor of real wheat makes this pasta particularly popular with children, who are discovering the authentic taste of grains.
