Mulino Caputo, the mill of Naples since 1924

Mulino Caputo has milled flour in Naples since 1924 and is a reference for Neapolitan pizza worldwide. It selects and blends wheats and grinds slowly to preserve the proteins and a clean, natural taste. The Saccorosso (red sack) is its flagship professional pizza flour, used in pizzerias across Italy and abroad.

Saccorosso: the classic pizzeria flour

Saccorosso is a balanced, strong type 00 flour designed for the elastic, extensible dough of Neapolitan pizza. It handles well, opens easily into a base and bakes to a soft, leopard-spotted cornicione in a hot oven. Versatile beyond pizza, it also gives good results in bread, focaccia and fresh egg pasta, which makes it a practical single flour for a busy kitchen.

How to use it

Use for direct or biga-based doughs with medium to long leavening (typically 8 to 24 hours), at a hydration of around 60 to 65% for classic Neapolitan pizza. The strong gluten tolerates handling and proofing well. Bake at high temperature in wood-fired or electric pizza ovens. Adjust hydration and times to your recipe and oven.
