Caputo Nuvola Super at a glance
Caputo Nuvola Super is a type 0 soft wheat flour in a 25 kg sack, formulated for light, airy, high-hydration pizza. It supports long leavening and high water absorption, giving a tall, alveolate, crisp-yet-soft crust, the signature of contemporary and canotto-style Neapolitan pizza. With about 12.5% protein and a strong, elastic gluten, it is a professional pizzeria flour milled by Mulino Caputo in Naples.
Mulino Caputo, the mill of Naples since 1924
Mulino Caputo has milled flour in Naples since 1924 and is a reference brand for Neapolitan pizzaioli worldwide. The mill selects and blends wheats and grinds slowly to protect the starch and proteins, producing flours with consistent strength and a clean taste. Nuvola Super belongs to its specialty pizza range, designed for high hydration and long fermentation.
What is Nuvola Super for?
Nuvola Super is built for a light, cloud-like crumb (nuvola means cloud): it absorbs a lot of water and tolerates long, cold fermentation, so the dough develops big, irregular alveoli and a crust that is crisp outside and airy inside. It is the go-to flour for the puffy-rim canotto pizza and contemporary Neapolitan styles, and also performs in focaccia and leavened breads.
How to use it
Use for high-hydration doughs (typically 70 to 85% water) with long, cold fermentation of 24 to 72 hours at 4 °C. Its strong gluten holds the structure through long proofs and bakes well in both wood-fired and electric ovens at high temperature. Adjust hydration and leavening time to your oven and workflow; it rewards experienced pizza teams.
