The Organic Senatore Cappelli Tubettini Agricultural art

Arteagricola's Organic Senatore Cappelli Tubettini are a small, versatile pasta made with 100% Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina grown on the company's own fields. Measuring 5mm long and 4mm in diameter, these small, hollow tubes represent the historic Neapolitan pasta shape, designed to be the star of thick soups, pasta dishes, legumes, and hearty broths. Bronze-drawing ensures the characteristic rough, porous surface that holds every seasoning, while slow drying at below 32°C fully preserves the grain's aromas and nutrients. With a cooking time of 8-10 minutes, the tubettini maintain excellent firmness even in broths and during long cooking times, imparting the unmistakable aroma of ripe wheat and fresh bread that characterizes the entire ARTE line.
 
 
 

The roots of these Tubettini are deep in tradition

Tubettini are one of the humblest and most beloved shapes in the Italian pasta tradition, inextricably linked to the home cooking of Southern Italy. Born in the artisanal pasta factories of the Naples and Campania areas between the 18th and 19th centuries, they became the shape of choice for hearty soups, pasta and legumes, and thick broths—one-pot dishes that were the basis of peasant and popular diets. Their small size allows you to enjoy the pasta alongside the other ingredients in every spoonful, creating the perfect balance typical of grandmother's great recipes. Arteagricola renews this centuries-old tradition with Senatore Cappelli wheat—a symbol of Italian grain excellence selected by Nazareno Strampelli in 1915—in a closed, integral supply chain using mineralized water from the Sele spring.
 
 
 

Choosing Senatore Cappelli Tubettini means taking care of yourself

Senatore Cappelli wheat has a more delicate gluten than modern wheat, making it particularly digestible, even for those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Milling the whole grain with wheat germ preserves an excellent protein content (13,5%), fiber (3,4%), and a rich micronutrient profile: potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, sodium, and beta-carotene, as well as essential lipids, amino acids, and vitamins B and E. The mineralized water from the Sele spring, slow drying at low temperatures, and ARTE organic certification guarantee a nutritious, digestible pasta that respects Italy's grain biodiversity. A conscious choice for everyday dishes rich in flavor and health.
