Organic Wholemeal Calamarata Senatore Cappelli

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

Rings that deceive the eye: pasta born to blend in with the sea

Wholemeal Calamarata Senatore Cappelli from Arte Agricola

Thirty-millimeter wide and eighteen-millimeter high rings: calamarata has a shape designed for a single purpose, and its name declares it. This version is made with whole-wheat Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina, self-produced in the company's fields in Cerignola, ground thoroughly with the germ, bronze-drawn, and dried very slowly between 32 and 38°C. It has the natural color of whole wheat and a delightful flavor, with ancient and ancestral aromas, persistent and delicate notes of pleasant bitterness, and an underlying savoriness that derives from the wheat's cultivation near the salt pans of Margherita di Savoia. It holds together perfectly when cooked, and its rings remain distinct on the plate without ever collapsing.
 
 
 

The roots of this format lie in a small Neapolitan deception

Calamarata is perhaps the only pasta shape created to resemble another ingredient. The rings precisely replicate those of sliced ​​squid, and the reason is purely gastronomic: in the Neapolitan dish of the same name, pasta and calamari blend together until they become almost indistinguishable, and the eater discovers only by biting what's on their fork—the elastic consistency of the mollusk or the firmness of the pasta. It's a trompe-l'oeil game that Neapolitan cuisine invented long before anyone called it that, and it reveals a precise idea of ​​eating: pleasure also comes from surprise. In the whole-wheat version made from Cappelli wheat, that game adds a warmer color and a flavor that stands up to the sea rather than disappearing into it.
 
 
 

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
• Format: length 18 mm, diameter 30 mm
• Cooking time: 12-14 minutes
• Furosine: 27,2 mg/100 g of protein
• Certification: organic, with traceability of raw materials and finished product

Furosine indicates the thermal damage suffered by the pasta during drying: the lower the value, the gentler the process and the more intact the nutritional value of the grain. It is the parameter that separates slow, low-temperature drying from rapid, much hotter industrial drying methods.
 
 
 

Choosing Cappelli Wholemeal Calamarata means taking care of yourself

With 14,4 g of protein and 8,33 g of fiber per 100 g, this pasta offers a balanced nutritional intake. Wheat bran fiber helps accelerate intestinal transit: this effect is achieved with at least 10 g of wheat bran fiber per day. Whole-grain milling with the germ results in a higher content of mono- and polyunsaturated fats compared to saturated fats, which represent just 19% of total fat, and salt is virtually absent, at 0,017 g per 100 g. Paired with fish—its natural ingredient—it creates complete and light dishes, rich in fiber and protein.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Wholemeal Calamarata Senatore Cappelli

• IN THE DISH FOR WHICH IT WAS BORN, WITH CALAMARI: sauté the calamari rings with garlic and Mixed Yellow Tomatoes, then stir the pasta directly in the pan and finish with chopped parsley and a zest of Organic Sicilian Interdonato Lemon.
• WITH THE STRONG FLAVOURS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: its structure holds strong seasonings — try it with Slowfood Salted Salina Capers desalted, olives and tomato, or with Creamed Cod diluted with a ladle of cooking water.
• IN THE BAKED OVEN AND IN PASTA SALADS: the large rings are perfect for gratin dishes, where they hold the béchamel sauce and sauce; when cold, seasoned with Organic Basil Pesto and crunchy vegetables, become a pasta salad that doesn't stick.
