WHY IT WORKS
-
Superior "00" Milling: The ultra-fine extraction process removes more bran and germ than standard flours, resulting in a silkier dough that is easier to stretch without tearing.
-
High-Temperature Stability: Specifically formulated to withstand temperatures exceeding 700°F (370°C), preventing the crust from becoming tough or overly charred.
-
Optimal Gluten Quality: Features a high-quality protein content (approx. 12.5%) that creates a strong, flexible network capable of holding long fermentation bubbles.
-
Authentic Italian Heritage: Produced using only high-quality wheat with no additives or enzymes, following traditional Neapolitan milling techniques since 1924.
-
Consistent Hydration: Absorbs water predictably, allowing bakers to maintain precise hydration levels for consistent dough texture batch after batch.
-
Tender Crumb & Crisp Crust: Delivers the classic contrast of a light, hollow cornicione (crust) and a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth center.
USE CASES
-
Authentic Pizzerias: Used as the primary flour for AVPN-style doughs that require a soft, thin, and foldable base.
-
Home Pizza Enthusiasts: Solves the problem of "rubbery" or dense crusts by providing the exact same professional flour used by the best pizzerias in Italy.

FAQ
What is the difference between Caputo Blue and Caputo Red? Caputo Blue (Pizzeria) is designed for short-to-medium fermentation and high-heat ovens. Caputo Red (Cuoco) has a higher strength and is intended for longer fermentation times (over 24-48 hours) and slightly lower oven temperatures.
Can I use this flour in a standard home oven? Yes, though it excels in high-heat pizza ovens, it still produces superior results in home ovens. To get the best char in a home oven, we recommend using a pizza stone or steel at the highest possible temperature.
Does "00" mean it has more protein? No, "00" refers to the fineness of the mill, not the protein content. Caputo Blue has a protein level of about 12.5%, which provides excellent structure while remaining easy to stretch.
Is this flour non-GMO? Yes, all Caputo flours are made from high-quality wheat and are non-GMO and additive-free.
How many pizzas can I make with one 2.2 lb bag? Typically, one 1 kg (2.2 lb) bag will produce about 5 to 6 standard Neapolitan-sized dough balls (approx. 250g each).
