Pumpkin Cappellacci
Tradition, quality and heart
Our pumpkin cappellacci are made with respect for the Ferrara tradition and with special attention to the quality of the raw ingredients. The pasta is prepared with eggs from free-range hens and the finest Italian flours, while the tasty and balanced filling is made with pure Italian pumpkin.
We don't add preservatives, artificial flavourings or additives: just genuine ingredients, carefully selected and processed with passion.
A product that tells the story of our land, loved throughout Italy — and that, with the Pasta della Vita project, also brings a message of hope.
