Traditional Senatore Cappelli Orecchiette

Biosolidale's jams are handcrafted using exclusively organic products, mostly sourced from local farms: this is how our Orecchiette Senatore Cappelli Tradizionali came to be

Orecchiette Senatore Cappelli Tradizionali

In our project we have embraced Organic farming as both a choice and a philosophy, respecting the land and its fruits. Our philosophy also includes supporting small businesses in our local area: we have created a network of small enterprises that share our same organic philosophy, positioning themselves as an alternative to the traditional supermarket. We aim to raise consumer awareness about conscious purchasing and the importance of short supply chains and organic products. For all our products, the philosophy is always the same: for jams and preserves we only use organic products, plenty of fruit and a little organic cane sugar. Our preserves in oil and spreads are made with the best local fresh vegetables, to which we add top-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Lazio, to achieve a product of unique excellence. The Orecchiette Senatore Cappelli are made following the principles of organic farming and the production process is artisanal. We are located in the wonderful Gargano region. This is where Sottolestelle was born, specialising in dairy-free, egg-free and yeast-free products. Our goal is indeed to offer unique and innovative organic products to contribute to the wellbeing of our customers. We are advocates of eating well and healthily for a proper diet and to stay in good health. Based on this principle, we produce with a focus on what is healthy and natural. To do this, we only use organic raw materials, partly produced on our own farm. We are located in the open countryside of Gargano, among olive trees, almond groves and vast grain fields. On our farm, as well as in our workshops, we work exclusively with organic raw materials. The excellent quality of our products is achieved through the use of carefully selected raw materials and only through natural processing techniques that preserve the quality of the finished products.

Senatore Cappelli durum wheat

The Senatore Cappelli wheat, once known as "the chosen breed", is a durum wheat obtained through genealogical selection in 1915 in Foggia by Nazareno Strampelli, and so named in honour of Senator Cappelli, father of the agrarian reform. It represents a perfect combination of Apulian tradition and noble raw materials. Made with Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina, an ancient Italian variety that has not been genetically modified, these are a genuine, nourishing product with a rich, authentic flavour. A pure durum wheat that has not undergone genetic mutations or man-made crossbreeding. It has excellent nutritional properties, a lower gluten content compared to other durum wheats, while still maintaining a high protein content. It is also characterised by a good presence of trace elements.

• With its rough, porous texture, orecchiette perfectly hold the sauce. Ideal not only for the classic Apulian-style turnip greens and anchovies, but also with a vegetable sauce. Try them with a rustic tomato sauce and salted ricotta. A legume ragù or simply extra virgin olive oil and pecorino!
