Caputo flour embodies more than just an ingredient: it represents Neapolitan heritage, the know-how passed down by generations of millers, and the art of enhancing artisanal preparations where texture and aroma tell a story.
Since 1924, Caputo mills have selected Italian and European wheat according to criteria of rare excellence. Each grain is processed with a slow milling, designed to preserve the purity of the starch, the fineness of the flour, and the consistency that today makes its reputation worldwide. This extreme care explains why pizzaiolos, artisans, and chefs seek this Italian signature, a symbol of tradition and precision.
The silky texture of Caputo 00 flour allows for soft and airy doughs, capable of withstanding high hydration without losing their shape. Its natural elasticity perfectly accompanies long fermentations, essential for developing flavors and aromas. This mastery of gluten gives rise to a lively, expressive dough that stretches without breaking and reveals all the magic of Italian baking.
In pizzaiolo schools, in the lively squares of Naples, or in the workshops of Italian artisans, Caputo flour is a cultural landmark. It accompanies the precise gestures, patient rises, and creations that have made Neapolitan pizza renowned worldwide. Choosing Caputo means adopting a piece of culinary history and the assurance of professional quality.
