Senatore Cappelli Organic Durum Wheat Flour Agricultural art

Arteagricola's Organic Senatore Cappelli Durum Wheat Flour is a stone-ground flour made from 100% homegrown Senatore Cappelli durum wheat, selected and milled using artisanal techniques to fully preserve the germ and bran of the grain. Stone-milling produces a finer grain than semolina and a less intense yet warm and bright yellow color, characteristic of ancient grains. The aroma is delicate yet persistent, with a bold flavor derived from its cultivation near the Margherita di Savoia salt pans: the unique terroir of this grain gives the flour an unmistakable aromatic character. This flour is designed to bring the nutritional richness and authentic flavor of the original Cappelli to leavened products—bread, pizza, focaccia, breadsticks.
 
 
 

The roots of this flour are deep in tradition

Stone milling is the oldest technique for turning wheat into flour: natural stone millstones, slowly rotating one above the other, grind the grains without overheating them, fully preserving the oils, vitamins, enzymes, and nutrients present in the germ and bran. For millennia, this was the only known method, until the Industrial Revolution introduced roller mills, which were faster but at the expense of nutritional quality. Senatore Cappelli wheat, selected in 1915 by Nazareno Strampelli and named after the Abruzzo senator Raffaele Cappelli, is the quintessential Italian durum wheat: Arteagricola revives its cultivation in its fields in Puglia, where the salty influence of the Margherita di Savoia salt pans imparts a unique minerality to the plants that is transferred to the finished product.
 
 
 

Choosing Senatore Cappelli Flour means taking care of yourself

Stone milling with a full-body process preserves the integrity of the grain, maintaining a very high fiber content (6,50g per 100g, an exceptional value for a flour) and protein (12,66g), in addition to the nutritional qualities typical of ancient grains. Cappelli gluten is more delicate and less tenacious than modern, high-yield grains, often proving more tolerable even for those with non-celiac sensitivities, and resulting in leavened products with exceptional digestibility. This flour is particularly rich in lipids, fat-soluble vitamins (E), minerals (potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc), and natural antioxidants concentrated in the germ. The ARTE organic certification guarantees a complete supply chain from field to bag, for maximum consumer safety.
