La Napoletana is a high protein, high gluten flour. The high gluten is important in wood fired pizza making, because the strength of the gluten net is what keeps the water in the dough when it touches the heat. A weak dough will release the water quickly and deflate, leaving a lot of small holes in the dough. A strong high gluten flour will hold the steam in, making big crunchy bubbles.
La Napoletana is suitable for cold fermentation of up to 72 hours. To check how durable a flour is, you need to know the ash weight rating. La Napoletana has a W of 310 which is very strong.
During cold fermentation, the yeast will expel gas bubbles that will permeate the dough. A weak dough will just let all the gas out, but a strong dough will maintain the gas and this is what makes increasingly complex flavor profiles. The taste of a rich sourdough with a nutty profile is the result of a long fermentation of the dough.
La Napoletana is an AVPN certified pizza flour, which is the Italian standard for professional pizza makers. That means Associazione verace pizza napoletana. To find an AVPN certified pizziera in the states indicates that they uphold the most rigorous standards in pizza making and is not common.
