Organic Margherita Durum Wheat Semolina from Molino Crisafulli

Molino Crisafulli's Organic Margherito Durum Wheat Pasta Semolina is made from the prized ancient Sicilian Margherito wheat variety, the "twin sister" of the more famous Senatore Cappelli. This semolina has a grain size specifically designed for pasta making: Margherito is particularly suited to pasta production, releasing intense, unmistakable aromas and ensuring excellent cooking resistance. Its simple gluten structure makes it both digestible and perfect for producing pasta with just the right amount of firmness. This is a vibrant and authentic semolina, the result of Molino Crisafulli's short, organic supply chain, which grows its own grains directly in the heart of Sicily, preserving their authenticity through artisanal milling.
 
 
 

The roots of this semolina are deep in the culture of Sicilian pasta

Sicily boasts an ancient connection with pasta: according to many historians, one of Italy's first documented traditions of dried pasta originated on the island around the year 1000, when the famous "itriyya"—dried pasta strands destined for trade across the Mediterranean—were produced in Trabia, near Palermo. Sicilian durum wheat, grown under the island's sun, has always been the ideal raw material for high-quality pasta, rich in protein and capable of holding its shape perfectly during cooking. The Margherito variety, an ancient grain rediscovered and revalued, brings all its intense aroma and nutritional value to this tradition. Molino Crisafulli, custodian of ancient grains, cultivates it organically in the heart of the Calatino area, breathing new life into a millenary culture.
 
 
 

Choosing Margherito semolina for pasta means taking care of yourself.

Ancient grains like Margherito are now being re-evaluated as valuable allies of health. Compared to modern grains, they are naturally higher in protein and have a simpler, less tenacious gluten network: this makes the resulting pasta lighter and more digestible, while maintaining a perfect al dente consistency. Durum wheat semolina is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates, which provide slow-release energy, as well as plant proteins, minerals, and B vitamins. Natural and careful milling preserves these qualities to the fullest. Being organic and pesticide-free, it is a pure and genuine semolina. An authentic and nutritious choice for bringing healthy, flavorful, and traditional homemade pasta to the table. Contains GLUTEN.
