Antica Pizzeria Uses Caputo 00 Chef’s Flour

History

     Caputo flour comes from Naples, Italy. Over three generations have produced this product. Winter wheat is ground to a fine powder and it is the highest quality.

      It is finely milled so it is easy to knead and mold. It has become the gold standard for pizzerias throughout Italy and the U.S. It is soft and easy to work with.

Why Does Antica Pizzeria Use Caputo?

     There is two kinds of 00 flour, blue and red. Red Caputo 00 flour is used at Antica Pizzeria. It has a protein/gluten contact of about 12.5 %. Caputo has a lower gluten content than most flours.

      Gluten activates and combines all the ingredients when the dough is kneaded. It is for this reason that the pizza dough stretches easily. It produces a nice chewy and crispy thin crust pizza that is delicious.

 Antica Pizzeria only uses the finest ingredients when making pizza. Caputo 00 flour is essential for producing the best Neapolitan-style pizza for you to enjoy! You can purchase Caputo 00 flour in our market to try for yourself!
