Ancient Senatore Cappelli wheat pasta
Organic artisanal pasta made from Senatore Cappelli wheat
Tenuta Maria Teresa's organic pasta is made using a controlled internal supply chain, from the cultivation of the wheat on the Lucca land to the final packaging. Senatore Cappelli wheat, an ancient and unmodified variety, is grown using natural methods and without the use of chemicals, respecting the three-year crop rotation.
After harvesting, the wheat is stone-ground in the company's own mill, preserving all its nutritional properties and giving the flour a natural, uneven grain size. This process yields a wholesome, flavorful, and highly digestible pasta, characterized by a low gluten content and a superior nutritional profile compared to industrially produced pasta.
Slow processing and authentic quality
Pasta is produced on-site, where every step is meticulously crafted. Bronze-drawing gives the pasta a rough surface, ideal for holding sauces, while slow drying at low temperatures preserves its flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.
Precisely because of the stone-ground flour and low gluten content, the texture of the pasta can vary slightly, making each batch unique. To best enhance its characteristics, we recommend gentle cooking, even directly in the sauce to achieve a natural creaminess.
Cooking times, between 4 and 6 minutes, are shorter than those of industrial pasta, offering an authentic, healthy product with an unmistakable flavour.
