Rustichella d'Abruzzo Organic Senatore Cappelli Spaghetti

Senatore Cappelli—an heirloom durum wheat varietal, selected in 1915 by agronomist Nazareno Strampelli—is known for its bright amber hue, subtle sweet, malty flavor and pleasing supple texture (think freshly baked bread).

Harvested in the fall, this autumnal variety is well-suited for organic farming due to its considerable height, which can reach about 1.5 meters (that's 4 feet)!

Fun fact: This authentic Italian grain was dedicated to Marchese Raffaele Cappelli from Abruzzo, Senator of the Italian Kingdom and promoter of the 20th century Agrarian Reform.

Senatore Cappelli Spaghetti—made with 100% Italian-grown organic wheat and pure spring water—shines in simple preparations where the delicate flavor of the pasta shines. Use in classic Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (pasta with garlic and olive oil), dressed in your favorite tomato sauce or tossed with halved cherry tomatoes, plenty of EVOO and lots of hand-torn fresh basil leaves.
