Organic Senatore Cappelli Whole Wheat Spaghetti

With wheat germ, bronze drawn, very slow drying at 32-38°C

Ancient and ancestral aromas and flavours, in a surprisingly pleasant wholemeal

Whole Wheat Spaghetti Senatore Cappelli by Arte Agricola

Anyone who's tried whole-wheat pasta knows that taste is often the price you pay for fiber. Here, the opposite is true. This spaghetti is made from whole-wheat Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina, grown on the company's fields in Cerignola. It's ground with the germ, bronze-drawn, and slowly dried between 32 and 38°C. The result is a pasta with a natural color and a delightful flavor, with ancient and ancestral aromas, persistent and delicate notes of a pleasant bitterness—more pronounced than non-whole-wheat Cappelli—and a good underlying flavor, derived from the wheat's cultivation near the salt pans of Margherita di Savoia. It holds its shape perfectly when cooked, maintaining a classic structure.
 
 
 

The roots of this pasta are sunk in a wheat that is one meter and eighty centimeters high

Senatore Cappelli is a variety selected in 1915 by Nazareno Strampelli, the geneticist who revolutionized Italian grain cultivation, and takes its name from Senator Raffaele Cappelli, a proponent of the agrarian reform that supported his work. For decades, it dominated the fields of Southern Italy, only to be almost abandoned after the war in favor of dwarf varieties, which were more productive and easier to harvest by machine. Cappelli is, in fact, a "tall" wheat: its straw can exceed 1.8 meters, making it more susceptible to lodging and much less generous in yield. But that height also has considerable agronomic value, as it shades the soil and naturally contains weeds—which is why it has become a key player in organic farming, where herbicides are nonexistent. Growing it means accepting a lower yield in exchange for a grain with an aromatic profile that modern varieties lack.
 
 
 

Technical Data

• Ingredients: organic wholemeal semolina from Cappelli durum wheat, self-produced on the farm
• Milling: full body, with wheat germ
• Drawing: to bronze
• Drying: very slow, at 32-38°C
• Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
• Furosine: 27,2 mg/100 g of protein
• Certification: organic, with traceability of raw materials and finished product

Furosine is the indicator that measures the thermal damage suffered by pasta during drying: the lower the value, the gentler the processing was and the more the nutritional value of the grain has remained intact. This is the parameter that distinguishes slow, low-temperature drying from rapid industrial drying processes, which can exceed 80°C.
 
 
 

Choosing Cappelli Whole Wheat Spaghetti means taking care of yourself.

The nutritional profile speaks for itself: 14,4 g of protein and 8,33 g of fiber per 100 g, a rare balance. Wheat bran fiber helps accelerate intestinal transit, and this effect is achieved with at least 10 g of wheat bran fiber per day. Whole-grain milling with the germ naturally results in a higher presence of mono- and polyunsaturated fats at the expense of saturated fats, which represent just 19% of total fat. Salt is virtually absent, at 0,017 g per 100 g. A truly nourishing pasta dish, without sacrificing pleasure.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Whole Wheat Senatore Cappelli Spaghetti

• WITH SIMPLE SAUCES, SO AS NOT TO COVER THE WHEAT: its bitter note deserves essential condiments - a Cherry Sauce with Organic Basil or, for a traditional Tuscan dish, theOrganic Garlic slowly stewed in a pan.
• IN SOUTHERN SEAFOOD DISHES: the roughness of the bronze drawing retains every drop of seasoning — try them with the Anchovies of Cetara in Salt melted in oil, garlic and a handful of toasted breadcrumbs, or with Albacore Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
• WITH SEASONAL VEGETABLES AND DRIED FRUIT: perfect with Organic Broccoli Rabe Tops sautéed in a pan, or creamed with Organic Yellow Pumpkin Pesto e Organic Sorrento Walnuts chopped: whole wheat loves strong flavors.
