The Senatore Cappelli Tart with Apricots, Almonds and Lemon Operawaiting

The Senatore Cappelli Apricot, Almond, and Lemon Tart is a small masterpiece of organic artisanal pastry with a Mediterranean flavor and Italian country tradition. Its fragrant shortcrust pastry is made with premium Senatore Cappelli ancient wheat flour (31,44%), enveloping a delicious filling of 35% apricots, whole organic Sicilian almonds, and fresh lemon zest. Made entirely by hand, without any pre-finished pastry products, this tart combines the delicate sweetness of summer fruit with the unmistakable aroma of Sicilian citrus fruits, for an authentic and profoundly Italian taste experience.

The roots of this tart are deep in Mediterranean pastry making.

The combination of apricots, almonds, and lemon represents the essence of Sicilian and Southern Italian pastry making, an aromatic trio that evokes the scents of the citrus groves, sun-drenched fruit orchards, and blossoming almond groves of the Etna Valley. Apricots, cultivated for centuries in the Mediterranean basin, were considered a precious fruit even in ancient Rome. Senatore Cappelli wheat, selected in the early 20th century by geneticist Nazareno Strampelli, is the ancestor of modern durum wheat: after decades of neglect, it is now being rediscovered for its extraordinary digestibility and intense flavor. Sicilian almonds, grown amidst volcanic soil and sea breezes, are considered among the most prized in the world for their sweet and aromatic flavor.

Choosing the Apricot, Almond and Lemon Tart means taking care of yourself

Apricots are a true powerhouse of well-being: rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, and potassium, they support healthy eyes, skin, and the cardiovascular system. Sicilian almonds provide healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and high-quality plant-based proteins, helping to keep cholesterol levels low. Lemon, with its zest rich in essential oils and flavonoids, has purifying, digestive, and toning properties. Senatore Cappelli wheat flour, more digestible than modern wheat, offers a balanced nutritional profile and is rich in fiber. All this in a certified organic selection, free from preservatives and colorings, made entirely by hand for a sweet yet mindful snack.
