CAPUTO…The Flour Choice of Many Aficionados

The Italians and Americans use different terms to describe their flours, which can cause some confusion. While the American baker is accustomed to seeing gluten % on the flour package, the Italian producers often don't publish gluten, but rather use Tipo (type) 0 and Tipo 00 to describe how finely the flour is milled. Tipo 00, which is finer, can be used to make different types of bread, cookies and pastries – as well as pizza. In fact, the glutting % in Tipo 00 flour ranges from 6% -12%, and it can be used for everything from biscotti, to ciabatta, to pugliese to pizza.

There are two types of 00 flour that Native Maine now has in stock. Italian Tipo 00 flour for pizza, and Tipo 00 flour for pasta, which can be very light light and have gluten as low as 5%-7%. The best Italian pizza flour comes from Molino Caputo, has 11.5%-12.5% high quality gluten, and is selected and milled to make perfect Pizza Napoletana.
