Caputo Farina 00 Sacco Rosso 25 kg Professional Flour

Caputo Farina 00 Sacco Rosso is a finely milled wheat flour designed for professional kitchens that demand consistent, elastic dough across long and short fermentation cycles. Tipo 00 classification indicates the finest grind available, producing a smooth, light-coloured flour that blends evenly and creates a uniform crumb in baked goods. The milling process preserves the natural proteins in the wheat, resulting in a high gluten content that gives dough its structure and stretch. When mixed with water, these proteins form a network that traps carbon dioxide released during fermentation, allowing the dough to rise without tearing and hold its shape during baking.

To use, measure the required weight of flour into a mixing bowl or dough sheeter. Add water gradually while mixing until the dough reaches the desired consistency—typically a smooth, slightly tacky ball that pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl. For pizza, pasta or bread, knead the dough until it becomes elastic and resilient, then allow it to rest and ferment according to the recipe. The flour's high W rating (around 300) means it can withstand prolonged fermentation without breaking down, making it suitable for overnight doughs or high-volume production where timing is flexible.

The flour is packed in a 25 kg paper sack, which protects the contents from moisture and light while remaining breathable to prevent condensation. The sack is designed for easy handling in professional kitchens, with reinforced seams and a flat base that allows it to be stacked on pallets or stored on shelves.

Controls are minimal: the flour requires no adjustments or settings. The key variable is hydration—the ratio of water to flour—which the operator sets based on the desired dough texture and the specific recipe.

The 25 kg weight of each sack is a practical specification for professional use. It balances manageable handling with sufficient quantity to support high-volume production, reducing the need for frequent stock checks and reordering. The paper material of the sack is standard for bulk flour, offering durability during transport and storage while being recyclable and compliant with food safety regulations.

Cleaning and upkeep are straightforward. The paper sack should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the flour's quality. Once opened, the sack should be folded closed or transferred to an airtight container to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. The flour itself requires no maintenance beyond proper storage, though it should be sifted before use if lumps have formed during transit or storage.

This flour is a single variant, with no additional versions or options available. It is suitable for use in wood-fired ovens, electric deck ovens, and commercial production kitchens, as well as food trucks and smaller professional setups. The minimum order quantity is 40 sacks, with a surcharge applied to orders between 20 and 40 sacks.

Caputo Farina 00 Sacco Rosso is categorised under professional baking ingredients, specifically within Italian flours and Tipo 00 milling grades.
