Description
Caputo Durum Semola Flour 1 kg
Caputo Semola is a premium Italian flour made from durum wheat, also known as hard wheat. The flour is double-milled (semolato) to achieve a finer texture than traditional semolina, while retaining excellent baking properties.
Semola is often used for dusting pizza, as it doesn't absorb into the dough as easily and creates a crispier crust.
With a protein content of approximately 13% (W: 250), this flour produces a firm and structured dough, making it particularly well-suited for homemade fresh pasta. Its characteristic golden color gives pasta an authentic and appetizing appearance.
Durum wheat contains more protein and gluten than regular wheat flour, which results in a firmer consistency and better chewiness. This also makes the flour suitable for baking bread and certain types of cakes.
Caputo is a renowned Italian family business with a long tradition of quality, and this flour is a natural choice for both amateur bakers and professionals.
