In Tuili, at the heart of Sardinia’s historic grain-growing region, the Accalai family crafts Fusilli that embody the island’s cereal heritage. Made exclusively from Senatore Cappelli durum wheat, these spirals reflect the character of a grain once nearly forgotten but now celebrated for its rich aroma and robust structure.

The wheat is gently milled to preserve its natural qualities, and each batch of pasta reveals authentic visual markers: delicate white speckles from dried semolina and small darker flecks from the grain’s core — both signs of traditional processing.

Selet shapes the Fusilli using bronze dies, giving them a slightly rough texture that holds sauces beautifully. After shaping, the pasta rests in wooden frames and undergoes a slow drying process at temperatures not exceeding 38 °C, taking around two days. This gentle method protects the grain’s flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties, resulting in Fusilli with genuine Sardinian character.

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.
