Granoro Capellini #16 Angel Hair Pasta — 100% Puglia Durum Semolina, Bronze-Cut, 2 x 1 lb

Granoro Dedicato Capellini #16 is a thin, bronze-cut angel hair pasta made in Puglia from 100% durum wheat semolina for a light, resilient bite. Made by Pastificio Granoro in Corato, this Capellini #16 brings a traditional Italian pasta experience to your kitchen. Crafted from certified Apulian durum wheat, extruded through bronze dies and slow-dried at low temperatures, it preserves the grain’s natural color and firm texture. Each 1 lb bag in this two-pack is non-GMO, vegan, and produced with a fully traceable supply chain rooted in local Puglia agriculture.

What makes Capellini #16 different from other thin pastas?

Capellini is finer than spaghetti but sturdier than the very finest angel hair; Granoro’s bronze extrusion gives the strands a slightly rough surface that holds light sauces and dressings well. The slow-dry method at low heat keeps the pasta resilient so it finishes al dente without becoming mushy.

• Bronze-cut texture for sauce adhesion
• Slow drying to preserve aroma and color
• Made with 100% Puglia durum wheat semolina
• Consistent thinness ideal for delicate sauces

How should I cook this angel hair for best results?

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil and add the pasta, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Capellini cooks faster than thicker shapes; check for al dente after a short boil and finish quickly to keep the fragile strands intact.

• Use 4–6 quarts water per pound and 1–2 tablespoons salt
• Stir initially and occasionally to avoid clumping
• Start checking for doneness at 2–3 minutes
• Toss immediately with sauce to prevent overcooking

Which sauces and recipes best showcase Granoro Capellini?

Because of its fine diameter and slightly rough surface, Capellini pairs beautifully with light, oil- or butter-based sauces, delicate seafood, simple tomato dressings, and spring vegetable sautés. It also works well in chilled pasta salads where a tender yet defined strand is preferred.

• Garlic-and-olive-oil with lemon and parsley
• Light seafood (shrimp, clam) tossed gently
• Fresh tomato, basil, and EVOO for a quick frutta di mare
• Cold pasta salads with crisp vegetables and vinaigrette

How does Granoro ensure quality and traceability?

Granoro sources durum wheat exclusively from Puglia and follows an ISO 22005-traceable supply chain, so each batch can be linked back to its regional origin. The company uses traditional production techniques—bronze dies and low-temperature drying—combined with modern quality controls to maintain purity and consistent texture.

• ISO 22005 traceability standard applied
