Caputo Flour: Crafting Excellence from Naples to Your Kitchen
Tradition, Quality, and Innovation – The Caputo Commitment.
Established in 1924 by brothers Carmine and Pasquale Caputo, Caputo Flour is a family-run business deeply rooted in Naples, Italy. Over the past century, three generations of the Caputo family have dedicated themselves to producing high-quality flours, honoring the ancient Neapolitan art of baking.
Family Heritage and Commitment to Quality
The Caputo family's journey began with a return to their hometown of Capua after gaining experience in the United States. They founded the Caputo Mill and pasta factory, laying the foundation for a legacy of excellence in flour production.
Sourcing and Manufacturing Excellence
Caputo Flour sources wheat from around the world while keeping to the European standard, selecting varieties that provide different levels of protein to create flours with specific characteristics. The company employs a slow, natural milling process, involving over 25 milling passages per wheat kernel, to preserve the grain's natural structure and enhance dough elasticity.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Caputo Flour is committed to sustainability, implementing a Zero Waste Policy where byproducts like husk and bran are utilized for animal feed. The company ensures that no chemical agents intervene in the production process, maintaining the natural integrity of their flours.
By choosing Caputo Flour, customers are not only selecting premium flour but also supporting a brand that values tradition, quality, and sustainability.
