Casarecce Lunghe extend the traditional Casarecce shape into a longer, ribbon-like form that enhances both texture and visual appeal. Like all pasta produced by Selet in Tuili, they are made exclusively from the aromatic, heritage wheat Senatore Cappelli, which has long been intertwined with Sardinia’s agricultural identity.

The wheat is gently milled to preserve its natural characteristics. As with all Selet pastas, the dough carries the distinctive signs of careful, traditional processing: subtle white speckles from dried semolina and darker flecks from the grain’s inner layers. These authentic visual traits reflect the purity of the grain and the absence of industrial shortcuts.

The pasta is shaped using bronze dies, creating a slightly rough, porous surface that grips sauces exceptionally well. After shaping, the Casarecce Lunghe are placed in wooden frames and slow-dried at temperatures not exceeding 38 °C for roughly two days. This method protects the grain’s aromatic profile, nutrient quality, and characteristic texture.

The story of Senatore Cappelli dates back to the early 20th century, when agronomist Nazareno Strampelli developed the variety through selective breeding. Named after Senator Raffaele Cappelli, who supported these agricultural innovations, the wheat grows tall, forms deep roots, and thrives in dry climates — though with lower yields and a more demanding cultivation process than modern varieties.

In the heart of Sardinia — the island celebrated for its longevity and culinary heritage — Selet has become a reference point for pasta crafted with a deep respect for taste, quality, and tradition.

The story begins with Santino Accalai, the visionary at the head of the family. In the 1990s, he played a decisive role in bringing Grano Senatore Cappelli, a nearly forgotten heritage durum wheat variety, back into the spotlight. Esteemed decades ago for its exceptional aroma and character, this wheat was once a cornerstone of Sardinian agriculture. Santino’s dedication helped restore its place in the region’s fields and kitchens.

For more than 30 years, Selet has cultivated this remarkable grain. The company is also a founding member of the Consorzio Grano Cappelli Sardegna, established in 2014 by local farmers and processors in Tuili with the goal of preserving and promoting this historic wheat variety.

Today, the Accalai family runs Selet together, combining craftsmanship with an unwavering respect for the land. Their flour and pasta are produced exclusively from regional cultivation in the Campidano, Sardinia’s traditional grain valley. Every step — from sowing to milling to shaping the pasta — reflects their commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and the cultural roots of Sardinian food.
