Due to a temporary difficulty in sourcing Tuscan wheat that meets our quality standards, part of our semolina is milled not only in Tuscany but also in Marche and Umbria, using organic wheat of Tuscan and Italian origin.
100% Organic Cappelli Semi-whole Semolina Pasta
The pasta is made from organic semi-whole semolina known as "semolato". Semi-whole semolina is less refined by milling than semolina, but it nourishes better and in a more complete way thanks to a higher content of fibres, polyphenols, wheat germs and vitamins. The dietary fibres convey a sense of satiety, lowering glycaemia and cholesterol levels in the blood and, finally, they facilitate intestinal transit.
Semi-whole semolina is obtained from an ancient variety of wheat of Tuscan origin, the “Cappelli”, so named in honour of the Abruzzo senator Raffaele Cappelli, promoter of agrarian reform in the early-20th century.
It is characterised by high digestibility, having never been genetically altered by modern agriculture. It has a high content of resistant starches which reach the large intestine unaltered, thus bringing innumerable benefits to our body: from favouring the absorption of mineral salts such as calcium, to the prevention of intestinal diseases.
