For those who take their dough seriously, Caputo Chef's Flour is the professional choice. This bundle includes two individual 1kg bags, providing a total of 2kg of the famous Neapolitan "Mulino di Napoli" flour used by master pizzaiolos and pasta makers worldwide.
Caputo Red is a reinforced flour with a high-quality gluten content. It is specifically milled to be unbleached, unbromated, and free of additives, ensuring a clean, natural taste that allows the flavor of your yeast or starter to shine through.
This flour excels in versatility. While it is the premier choice for long-fermentation pizza dough, its strength makes it ideal for pasta that requires a firmer structure and specialty breads that need a high-volume rise. Check the FAQ below for details on the W Index and why it matters for your dough.

What is the W Index?
The W Index for Caputo Chef's is approximately 300-320. This indicates a "strong" flour. It is designed to withstand long rising times (24-48 hours) without the dough breaking down, resulting in a superior crumb and better digestibility.
Is this different from the Caputo Blue bag?
Yes. While the Blue bag is meant for shorter fermentation and standard home use, the Red (Chef's) bag is reinforced to handle higher temperatures and longer resting periods, making it more resilient.
Is this flour free of chemicals and glyphosates?
Caputo sources high-quality wheat from Italy and around the globe, following strict European food safety standards. This flour is 100% natural, unbleached, non-GMO, and contains no chemical additives or preservatives.
Can I use this for fresh pasta?
Absolutely. Because of the higher protein quality, this flour provides excellent elasticity, making it very easy to roll out into thin sheets for ravioli or lasagna without tearing.
