Organic Orecchiette Ancient Grain Senatore Cappelli 500g Arte Agricola

Orecchiette Senatore Cappelli organic by Arte Agricola are produced using 100% organic Senatore Cappelli durum wheat, an ancient Italian grain renowned for its rich flavour, excellent digestibility and superior nutritional profile.

Cultivated in southern Italy according to certified organic farming practices, this wheat is grown without glyphosate and carefully milled to preserve its natural integrity. The pasta is slowly crafted using traditional bronze dies, giving the orecchiette their characteristic rough texture that perfectly holds sauces.

A distinctive quality of Arte Agricola pasta is its very low furosine content, an important indicator of gentle drying. Furosine forms when pasta is exposed to excessive heat during industrial processing. Low levels confirm that this pasta has been slowly dried at low temperatures, preserving the structure of the wheat proteins and maintaining the natural flavour of the grain.

The result is an artisan orecchiette with remarkable texture, aroma and purity, reflecting a production process focused on quality rather than speed.

Senatore Cappelli wheat naturally delivers nutty, complex flavours and a pleasantly firm bite after cooking, making it highly appreciated by chefs and food enthusiasts seeking authentic Italian pasta made from heritage grains.
