Organic Angel Hair, Durum Wheat Semolina - Girolomoni

We are VERY proud to carry Girolomoni’s organic, ancient wheat pastas in Thailand. This is their Organic Durum Wheat Semolina Angel Hair. Angel Hair, or ‘Capellini,’ is an extremely thin, delicate pasta that cooks quickly and pairs well with light sauces. Made from high-quality durum wheat semolina, this pasta has a subtle, nutty flavor and a fine, tender texture. Classic recipes for Angel Hair include Capellini Pomodoro, a simple yet delicious dish with fresh tomatoes and basil, Angel Hair with Garlic and Olive Oil (Aglio e Olio), a light and flavorful option, and Angel Hair with Shrimp and Lemon, combining seafood and citrus for a fresh, vibrant meal. The delicate nature of Angel Hair allows it to absorb flavors beautifully while maintaining a great al dente bite. About the producer: Gino Girolomoni was one of the pioneers of organic farming in Italy, or as he called it, restoring dignity to the land. He saw industrialization as a step backward for the health of the land, the food, and the agricultural communities that he had grown up in. Starting in the 1970s, he gave more than 500 lectures on organic & regenerative farming techniques across Italy, teaching farmers how to get the most from their land without synthetic or chemical inputs. He was one of the early advocates of growing the ancient wheat grains varieties because they are superior in nutrients and taste - not optimized for mass production. Fifty years later, there are more than 400 organic farms in Girolomoni’s “Montebello” coop, with most of them in the Marche region. They control the product from the seed and soil, into their own mill, and finally to the pasta factory where it’s mixed with their spring water to become exceptional pasta. The coop reinvests profits into further development of farmer education and agrotechnology that works in concert with the land rather than against it, and today the Marche region is aiming to become the largest “Single Organic District” in Europe.
