Senatore Cappelli Durum Wheat Orecchiette

“The little ear of Puglia, made with an ancient grain.”

Dried orecchiette made with Senatore Cappelli wheat: the classic shape of Puglian pasta, with an ancient durum wheat and its authentic, rustic flavour.

Senatore Cappelli wheat Dried pasta 500 g pack

Puglian orecchiette owe their name to their shape, which looks like a little ear. It is a curious shape that housewives in Puglia still make by hand every Sunday, using nothing but their thumb.

Here it comes to the table in a special version: dried orecchiette made with Senatore Cappelli wheat, an ancient variety of durum wheat that fell out of use for a long time and was then rediscovered, and is now appreciated well beyond Puglia.

The wheat

What is Senatore Cappelli wheat?

Senatore Cappelli is an ancient variety of durum wheat, grown in Puglia for a long time. It has stayed as it was: it has not been modified by man to increase its yield.

In recent years there has been a real rediscovery of Cappelli wheat: more and more people look for it because of its genuine, rustic flavour, reminiscent of times past and farming traditions, and it is back in the spotlight in Italian kitchens and beyond.

In the kitchen

How to serve Senatore Cappelli orecchiette

🥬

With turnip tops

The classic dressing of Puglia: turnip tops (cime di rapa), garlic, extra virgin olive oil and chilli. If you can't find turnip tops, try the turnip tops cream.

🌶️

Garlic, oil and chilli

The same ingredients as the traditional dressing, without the greens: the simplest way to taste the flavour of the wheat.

The tradition

Homemade orecchiette

Making them at home is something the whole family can join in. The perfect shape takes practice, but with a little patience you can make orecchiette worthy of the best Puglian traditions.

1	The ingredients All you need is good Senatore Cappelli wheat flour, water and a pinch of salt.
2	The dough Knead carefully until the dough is smooth and firm.
3	The thumb Work each small piece with your thumb, pressing it on the board: this gives the orecchiette their little hollow.
