Capoccia Bio has its roots in the early 1900s when Cesare Capoccia moved to Morano Osteria, a hamlet of Gualdo Tadino, to passionately cultivate the fertile land of Umbria. Since then, the company has grown alongside the family, passing down through generations while preserving the agricultural traditions of the region. Today, the company has embraced organic farming, reviving ancient local crops that represent a valuable heritage. Capoccia Bio follows a complete and integrated production cycle.
The story of Capoccia Bio's organic soft wheat flours is simple and authentic. The grains are grown in the Umbrian fields, stone-ground in their slow-rotation mill, and packaged in a unique and controlled supply chain. This process preserves all the aromas, flavors, and scents of the grains, whether modern or ancient, like Gentilrosso. Additionally, stone milling preserves the biodiversity and nutritional characteristics of the wheat.
These 100% Italian flours are versatile and suitable for a variety of doughs: bread, focaccia, biscuits, tarts, pizza, and flatbreads. Capoccia Bio also uses them for their sourdough, ensuring genuine products rich in flavor.
Between the Umbrian land and the consumer's table, there are no intermediaries—only healthy, sustainable, and authentic products. Capoccia Bio is committed to bringing the best of Italian food tradition to its customers, maintaining a strong connection between field and plate.
The organic ancient Gentilrosso flour, type 1, is obtained from the milling of soft wheat grown through a fully internal and certified organic supply chain. This flour comes from the ancient Gentilrosso wheat, a Tuscan variety that was widely used until the early 1900s, and has a low gluten content along with a wide range of proteins. Products made with this flour take on a characteristic reddish hue, from which the name derives, accompanied by distinctive scents and aromas that enhance the final flavor.
