The Organic Senatore Cappelli Braids of Agricultural art

Arteagricola's Organic Senatore Cappelli Trecce are a visually striking and functional pasta shape, featuring a braided shape reminiscent of traditional knotted ribbons. Made with 100% Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina grown on the company's own fields, they are 43mm long and 30mm in diameter, making them the centerpiece of any dish. Bronze-drawing ensures optimal roughness and porosity, while the extremely slow drying process below 32°C preserves the grain's aromatic and nutritional value. With a cooking time of 9-11 minutes, the trecce maintain a perfect shape, with knots and folds that hold the sauce in every bite, creating a dramatic effect that transforms lunch into a memorable experience.
 
 
 

The roots of these braids are deep in tradition

The art of braiding pasta has its roots in the creativity of Southern Italian women, who painstakingly handcrafted decorative shapes for special occasions and Sunday lunches. Braids of pasta evoke an ancient gesture of care and beauty, present in many Italian culinary traditions, from the Abruzzo braided braid to the Apulian and Calabrian variations. Each knot represents a symbol of union and conviviality, which is why braids are often featured on festive tables. Arteagricola reinterprets this artisanal heritage with a modern shape, made with Senatore Cappelli wheat selected by Nazareno Strampelli in 1915, the father of Italian durum wheat, grown in the company's closed supply chain and treated with mineralized water from the Sele spring.
 
 
 

Choosing Senatore Cappelli Braids means taking care of yourself

Senatore Cappelli wheat represents an Italian cereal excellence, characterized by a more delicate and less aggressive gluten protein structure than modern wheats, making it particularly digestible even for those with non-celiac sensitivities. Whole-grain milling with wheat germ guarantees an excellent protein content (13,5%), fiber (3,4%), and a rich micronutrient profile: potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, sodium, 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 ensure a pasta that combines the pleasure of taste, nutritional benefits, and respect for Italian agricultural biodiversity.
