The Caputo Aria flour 1kg is a unique Tipo 0 flour enriched with natural dried sourdough. It stands out for its ability to create doughs that are light, crispy, and full of aroma. With protein around 13% and strength W 300–320, this flour offers excellent stability, making it suitable for both professionals and home pizza lovers.
Unlike classic 00 flours, Aria belongs to the Tipo 0 category, which means it has slightly higher bran content and greater strength. This gives it the resilience to handle higher hydrations while maintaining dough elasticity. It is especially recommended for pinsa, pizza in pala, and pizza in teglia, where airiness and crisp texture are key.
One of the biggest advantages of Aria is the addition of sourdough. This not only enhances the flavor with subtle depth and character but also supports longer fermentation processes. The result is dough that rises beautifully, develops a golden crust, and remains light without losing structure.
At Crusters, we are proud to be among the few to offer Caputo Aria in 1kg packaging. Traditionally, this flour is only available in large bags of 25kg or 5kg, making it difficult for home bakers to access. This rare format allows you to test and enjoy a professional-grade flour without committing to large quantities.
