Caputo Cuoco – 1 kg

Product Overview

Caputo 00 Cuoco Wheat Flour 1 kg is a classic Italian pizza flour with a very finely milled texture, specially developed to meet the demands of traditional Neapolitan pizza-making. The flour comes from the renowned Italian company Caputo, which has been known for generations for its strong craft tradition and high-quality flour products. Caputo originates in Naples, Italy’s pizza capital, and its philosophy is based on preserving authentic methods combined with careful ingredient selection.

The designation "00" refers to the flour’s superfine milling grade, which produces a soft, silky dough with high elasticity. This makes the flour particularly suitable for doughs that need a long proving time and development to achieve the right consistency and texture. The 1 kg pack is practical for both home bakers and professional pizza makers who want to experiment or stick to authentic Italian recipes.

Active Ingredients & Science

The protein in the flour plays an important role in the dough’s structure and elasticity, facilitating long proving times and producing an airy, crisp crust. The "00" milling grade means that the flour is very finely milled and has a low ash content, which affects both the colour and texture of the finished product. The careful balance of protein and gluten content makes this flour particularly suitable for fermentation processes that produce a soft, elastic dough.

Benefits & Uses

• Excellent for Neapolitan pizza, where long proving times and high elasticity are needed to achieve the classic, airy dough.
• Also well suited to other Italian baked goods such as focaccia, ciabatta and rolls, where both texture and flavour matter.
• Suitable for both professional pizza makers and home cooks who want to create authentic Italian breads and baked goods.
• The fine milling makes the dough easy to work with and creates an even, silky consistency that makes rolling and shaping easier.
• High baking strength makes it well suited to doughs that need to rest and prove for a long time, often resulting in better flavour and structure.

Directions & Dosage

Use Caputo 00 Cuoco Wheat Flour as the base for your pizza dough or bread recipes. The flour can be mixed with water, yeast, salt and, if desired, olive oil according to your own recipe or traditional methods. As directions may vary depending on the recipe and desired dough consistency, we recommend following the instructions on the packaging or in the specific recipe you are using. The flour is versatile and can be combined with other types of flour as needed to adjust texture and flavour.

The flour is produced under controlled conditions, with careful quality checks to ensure purity and consistency in every batch.
