The Organic Senatore Cappelli Caserecce Pasta Agricultural art

Arteagricola's Organic Caserecce Senatore Cappelli are an artisanal pasta deeply rooted in the regional traditions of Central and Southern Italy, made with 100% Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina grown on the company's own fields. Their distinctive shape—small, rolled ribbons 45mm long and 4mm in diameter—comes from the ancient practice of rolling a thin rectangle of pasta around a knitting needle or wooden skewer, creating a partial internal cavity that captures every drop of sauce. Bronze-drawing ensures the characteristic rough, porous surface, while slow drying at below 32°C preserves the grain's aromas and nutrients. With a cooking time of 8-10 minutes, the caserecce maintain an excellent hold and an impeccable al dente texture.
 
 
 

The roots of these Caserecce are deep in tradition

Caserecce—literally meaning "homemade"—is one of the oldest and most popular regional pastas in Southern Italy. Found in various variations in Sicily, Campania, Basilicata, Molise, and Calabria, they were traditionally prepared by housewives using a simple straw stick or a small stick made from plant fibers. The name recalls the everyday, domestic act of home-made preparation, a symbol of Southern Italian home cooking. In Sicily, they are a classic pairing with Trapani-style pesto and tomato and vegetable sauces, while in other regions, caserecce pairs with game ragù and more complex sauces. Arteagricola renews its traditional form with Senatore Cappelli wheat, selected in 1915 by Nazareno Strampelli, bringing Italy's finest grains to a closed supply chain.
 
 
 

Choosing Caserecce Senatore Cappelli means taking care of yourself

Senatore Cappelli wheat, with its more delicate gluten compared to modern high-yield wheats, offers superior digestibility and is often tolerated even by those with non-celiac sensitivities. Whole-grain milling with wheat germ ensures 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. Mineralized water from the Sele spring, slow drying at low temperatures, and ARTE organic certification complete a pasta that combines authentic flavor, nutritional richness, and respect for Italian agricultural biodiversity.
