Made with a variety of wheat that can be defined "the chosen variety" , both due to its exceptional proteic and organoleptic characteristics, both to the fact that it is the ancestor of many other varieties, Organic Penne Rigate Senatore Cappelli, drawn to the bronze and dried at low temperatures for about 8 hours. The dishes made with Penne Senatore Cappelli are recommended for the more refined palates and for the nostalgic of ancient flavours.

Senatore Cappelli most certainly deserves a privileged place among the varieties of old durum wheat. It was named in honour of Abruzzi Senator Raffaele Cappelli, who promoted agrarian reform in the early 1900s. Senatore Cappelli is a wheat with a high protein content; it grows majestic and tall in the fields. Its notable height (it can reach 180 cm) has made this variety of wheat difficult to grow because it is continually at risk from setting, mainly on account of wind or rain. With excellent soil conditions and with mild climatic trends, Senatore Cappelli can reach a yield of 18-23 quintals per hectare. The Senatore Cappelli variety can in any case be defined as a "chosen variety", both on account of its excellent protein and sensory characteristics and of the fact that it is the ancestor of many, many other varieties that are still grown today. The Girolomoni® pasta made using 100% semolina from this variety of wheat is bronze drawn and dried at low temperatures for very long periods (approximately 26 hours for long pasta and 10 hours for short pasta), in order to maintain all of the nutrients and sensory qualities of the raw material in the finished product.

General Information: Pasta is cheap and easy to prepare; you have to cook pasta but you can eat it warm or cold, as pasta salad, you can toss it just cooked or sauté it in a pan before serving. How to eat: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil (around 1 litre for every 100 grams of pasta that you want to cook), add salt to taste; add the pasta to boiling water and stir softly; cook for about 8 minutes, for authentic Italian "al dente" pasta, start counting the cooking time when the water returned to a boil. Drain the pasta and serve with your sauces and favorite toppings.
