Made with quality ingredients: special-purpose flour, cane sugar, organic corn or extra virgin olive oil.
The durum wheat semolina variety, Cappelli (or Senatore Cappelli), used in Fiorbì comes from a farming area known as the “granary of Italy”, in the Daunia hills overlooking the plains of the province of Foggia, home to Senatore Cappelli wheat.
Senatore Cappelli owes its name to the Abruzzo senator Raffaele Cappelli, who worked hard at the beginning of the 20th century to introduce agrarian reform which led to the distinction between hard and soft wheat. Selected in Foggia in 1915 from natural strains that were never genetically modified, for decades they were the most popular crops throughout Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia.
Quality farms in the Daunia area continue to produce Senatore Cappelli wheat from certified seed. The ancient wheat is pure-ground to obtain fragrant flours, scented with the characteristic organoleptic properties of yesteryear. Particularly resistant to dry climates and considered the king of Italian durum wheats, it has recently been rediscovered due to its excellent qualities.
