Caputo Lievito is a high-activity dry yeast made in Italy by Mulino Caputo. It’s crafted using Saccharomyces cerevisiae fed with Italian molasses (from beet & sugar cane), offering reliable leavening, gradual rise, natural flavour, and versatility across doughs. 

Key Features & Specifications

• Ingredients / Composition:
  Natural dry yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), with emulsifier sorbitan monostearate. No artificial preservatives. 

• Origin & Purity:
  Fully Italian-made; yeast fed with natural Italian molasses; NON-GMO; vegan; kosher; halal. 

• Formats & Shelf Life:
  Typical size 100 g in a resealable jar/can; shelf life around 18-24 months unopened. Once opened, store in cool, dry place (or refrigerate) with the lid tightly closed.

• How It Behaves in Dough:
  Works a bit more slowly at first, then releases gas more steadily in later fermentation phases. Excellent stability, especially in long ferment loaves, pizza, breads. 

• Heat Tolerance:
  The yeast loses activity / dies at ~58 °C, which means it’s digestible and doesn’t survive harsh heat. 

Usage Tips

• Substitution rate: Use about ¼ to ½ the weight of fresh yeast. Dry active yeast is more concentrated.

• Mixing: Can be mixed directly into dry ingredients; no need to dissolve in water first. 

• Ideal for:
  • Neapolitan-style pizza doughs (long ferment)
  • Artisan breads
  • Focaccias
  • Sweet leavened doughs
  It’s also suitable for gluten-free preparations.

• Storage after opening: Keep sealed, in fridge (0-10 °C) or a cool dry place; use within ~2 months once opened.
