Antimo Caputo Active Dry Yeast 500g (1.1 lb) Vacuum Pack — Reliable Rise for Pizza & Bread

Antimo Caputo Lievito Active Dry Yeast is a professional-grade Italian active dry yeast in a 500g vacuum-sealed pack designed to deliver dependable rise and authentic texture for pizza, bread, and pastries.

Made by the historic Neapolitan miller Antimo Caputo, this active dry yeast is formulated for consistent fermentation whether you're making quick breads or long cold-risen doughs. The vacuum packaging preserves potency until you open it, and the neutral flavor profile pairs especially well with Caputo 00 flour for classic Italian results.

How does this yeast perform with Neapolitan pizza and 00 flour?

This yeast produces a steady, predictable rise that helps create the airy yet chewy crumb prized in Neapolitan-style pizza. It works well with high-protein 00 flour, encouraging proper oven spring and the characteristic blistered crust when baked at high temperatures.

• Consistent leavening for high-temperature bakes
• Compatible with long cold ferment or short proofing schedules
• Neutral taste that highlights the flour and toppings

What are the best ways to use and store the 500g vacuum pack?

You can mix the active dry yeast directly into flour for many recipes or rehydrate it briefly in warm water to ensure activation. After opening, transfer unused yeast to an airtight container and refrigerate to extend freshness.

• Mix straight into dry ingredients or proof in warm water
• Store unopened in a cool, dry place; refrigerate once opened
• Vacuum seal helps maintain potency until first use

Can this yeast handle different dough types and fermentation schedules?

Yes—Antimo Caputo active dry yeast is versatile across doughs from chewy pizza bases to enriched sweet doughs. It performs in both short, rapid rises and longer, slow fermentations, offering bakers flexibility in timing and texture outcomes.

• Suitable for pizza, rustic loaves, focaccia, and enriched pastries
• Reliable for both quick proofs and extended refrigeration
• Delivers even gas production for stable dough handling

What practical advantages does the vacuum packaging provide?

The vacuum-sealed 500g bag minimizes air exposure to preserve the yeast's activity until you're ready to bake. That helps reduce waste and keeps a larger quantity on hand for frequent bakers or small professional kitchens.

• Extended shelf life prior to opening
• Larger pack size reduces the need for frequent purchases
• Easy to portion for home or professional use

Who is this for? Home bakers who want authentic Italian results, pizzerias seeking a reliable supply of active dry yeast, and pastry professionals who appreciate a neutral-flavored, consistent leavening agent will all benefit. If you work frequently with Caputo 00 flour or aim for traditional Neapolitan textures, this 500g vacuum-packed yeast gives you the control and shelf stability needed for repeatable bakes.
