HEALTH BENEFITS

• Malloreddus of Cappelli wheat pasta produced with durum wheat grown in Sardinia. The processing is handcrafted, with bronze dies and slow drying at a low temperature.

Much appreciated for its nutritional properties, Senatore Cappelli flour is rich in proteins, lipids, amino acids, B vitamins, E vitamins and mineral salts such as zinc, calcium, potassium and magnesium. It contains a rather low level of gluten compared to other durum wheat semolina on the market.

In fact, while this ancient grain contains about 10% of gluten, modern grains contain about 18% of it. The reason why the flours used for bread making are enriched with gluten is to allow the bread to swell during leavening.

Senatore Cappelli flour has a high content of flavonoids and antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties capable of promoting the reduction of intestinal inflammation and gluten intolerances.

In addition to being particularly digestible, it has a slightly lower amount of calories than other grains and has beneficial effects on cholesterol.

• Morgongiori‘s Lorighittas pasta is a Traditional PAT Agri-food Product of Sardinian pasta. It is made with durum wheat semolina pasta, grown and machined in Sardinia, water and salt.
  The ingredients are processed in a terracotta scivedda (container) to mix the dough and then on a wooden table for processing, and the creation of pasta “spaghetti” that will give life to the Lorighitta.

The spaghetti is then wrapped twice around the fingers: index, ring and middle fingers, the end is broken and compressed into two threads intertwined between the index and the thumb of the same hand, the two threads are twisted and the typical shape of an elongated ring.

The closed Lorighittas placed in su caisteddu (basket) are left to dry from 3 days to the whole week, depending on the season. Once dried, the pasta is ready to be wrapped for sale, or displayed in wicker baskets.

The traditional laying in the basket refers to ornamental motifs typical of filet crochet decoration.

It is a unique product limited only to the territory and municipality of Morgongiori.

• Ovodda’s Carasau bread is made with Sardinian stone-ground wheat. In the first phase of production, durum wheat flour, water, yeast and salt are mixed together. The mixture thus obtained is divided into various parts which are worked with extreme care to obtain thin pastry discs.

Then the discs are placed on linen sheets for an absolutely natural leavening. After having “rested” they go into the oven for the first cooking: the strong heat swells the pastry and separates it into two layers forming a large ball which is immediately taken out of the oven and divided into two sections. Here are the sheets of bread! The last phase of the process is the carasadura: the separated sheets are put back in the oven for the final cooking which gives the carasau a perfect roasting and a stronger flavor nuance.
It does not contain additives and GMOs. Contains gluten.

• Sheep ragout sauce. Sheep meat contains a good amount of iron, which is an essential protein for the oxygen’s transport to organs and tissues, it also contains potassium, which is important for muscles, the heart and for the transmission of nerve impulses.
  Sheep meat has several advantages: it has a low percentage of fat and a high amount of vitamins, iron and potassium.

Due to its nutritional properties, the consumption of sheep meat is recommended as part of a healthy and balanced diet. It always depends on the amount you take, but within a healthy diet controlled by a nutritionist, sheep meat can be consumed without worrying.

• Campidanese sauce with sausage Exquisite ready-made sauce, typical of the Campidano area, a ragù prepared with fresh pork sausage and tomatoes grown in Sardinia. Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. Fresh tomatoes are low in carbs. The carb content consists mainly of simple sugars and insoluble fibers. These fruits are mostly made up of water.
  
  And the sausage provides a good amount of protein, fat, and sodium. It contains several other micronutrients, including vitamin B12, niacin, and zinc.
• Evo extra virgin olive oil with myrtle is obtained from the cold pressing of olives with myrtle. Olive oil is beneficial as an antioxidant since it contains high levels of vitamin E. When consumed, olive oil promotes digestion, stimulates metabolism, and lubricates mucous membranes (olive oil contains vegetable mucilage that helps protect the gastrointestinal tract).
  And Myrtle is high in a group of flavonols known as myricetins which are found in glycosides. A study on diabetic rats found that this compound can reduce glucose plasma levels, helping to regulate blood sugar levels in the body. The phytochemicals in Myrtle leaves work at the molecular level by fine-tuning the damaged insulin receptor, which is the cause of insulin resistance.
• Evo extra virgin olive oil with herbs from Sinis the production technique, unique in the sector, involves the use of only fresh selected spices and herbs that are ground in the mill. In this oil, you can enjoy the most authentic Mediterranean flavors as the freshness of basil, the sensual vivacity of hot pepper, the decisive character of garlic and the irresistible Mediterranean charm of the union of rosemary, sage, parsley and other herbs.

• Black summer truffle cream rich source of amino acids and minerals, including Phosphorus, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc, and Vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. Truffles are also full of natural compounds that protect you from “free radicals”, toxins that can damage your cells. Black truffles are good to lower cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, protecting your liver from damage, reducing inflammation throughout your body, fighting bacterial infections, help prevent cancer. Keep in mind, that the amount of truffles you eat is much smaller, so it’s unlikely to have that kind of impact.

• Aged Sardinian pecorino cheese contains higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, than other cheeses. CLA is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that has been studied for its ability to fight cancer and help prevent coronary artery disease. Pecorino cheese is rich in magnesium and calcium which helps keep bones healthy and strong, contains good amounts of vitamin D useful in optimizing calcium and phosphorus metabolism and helps prevent type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, heart attack, congestive heart failure and stroke. Furthermore, it is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E with great antioxidant power.

Bread and Saba at the Sapa –  typical Sardinian sweets Rich in mineral salts, it is an excellent tonic and a kind of food supplement. Furthermore, as a grape must, it is able to relieve the sensation of heartburn. It is made with: Sultana (raisins), water, soft wheat flour type “00”, almonds, walnuts, durum wheat semolina, sapa 3% (honey, flavorings), tasty (coriander seeds, cinnamon, caraway seeds, cloves, nutmeg, star anise), flavorings.
