I know that we previously told you that the whole-wheat, Caputo Integrale, was no longer imported.
Well, it appears now that it is available to us and we are bringing it back in 5-, 9- and 12-pound repacks!
Caputo Integrale is not a 00 flour. It is ground more like a typical whole-wheat flour. The magic, as it is with most other Caputo flours is in the blend of wheat that Antimo Caputo puts through his mill.
We also recently started carrying Caputo “Extra” 00, and semolina flour.

Amazon’s Al Dente blog featured a post by one of their foodies who recently discovered Antimo Caputo’s 00 flour, and she raves about it.
When Amazon starts pushing something, let’s hope that the mill in Naples will be able to keep up with the demand. Ha ha!
For that matter, I better go check to make sure we have enough to meet the surge on the variety of Caputo flour that we need to have in stock.

Prompted by my cousin booking her Disney vacation today, Via Napoli popped into my head and I had to let her know that she has to go there. If you’re going to Disney World, then so do you!
Via Napoli is a fairly new restaurant that opened in the Italian section of Epcot. Traditional wood-fired pizza, made with Caputo 00 flour. The reviews I’ve seen of it are fantastic, and I wish I could give a first hand review of it. The last time I was at Disney was before Via Napoli opened.
If you’ve been, let us know how you liked it in the comments below
The delicious pizzas are made with real caputo flour imported from Southern Italy, San Marzano tomatoes, handmade mozzarella and water from a local spring similar to Italy’s Campania region. They are cooked in authentic wood-burning ovens named after the 3 active volcanoes in Italy—Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius and Stromboli.
To ensure every detail is perfect, Nick Valenti spent time in Naples studying the art of dough, crust, sauce and oven temperatures at the famous pizzerias Da Michele and Trianon.
Via Napoli was created by the renowned Patina Restaurant Group, which also operates the popular Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria at the Disneyland Resort and the Naples 45 Ristorante e Pizzeria in New York City, which was awarded the coveted La Vera Pizza Napoletana certification.
