At Cala Roca, we’ve transformed the creation of vegan pizza into a gourmet scientific discipline. We reveal a process that defies convention, setting a new standard for plant-based pizza in Latin America. Every pizza is the result of months of research and technical perfection.

1. The dough revolution: 72 hours of bioengineering

The difference in our pizza starts with the dough. We use a controlled cold fermentation process that isn’t just resting—it’s a three-day molecular transformation.

The magic of controlled patience:

  • 72 Hours of Bioengineering: We monitor biochemical variables with digital sensors, tracking enzymatic activity and the development of natural microbiota.
  • Superior Digestibility: The extended fermentation achieves complete gluten hydrolysis, developing bioactive peptides that make the dough remarkably lighter.
  • Complex Flavor: Complex aromatic compounds form, giving our dough a deep, natural flavor without additives.


Technology Serving the Dough:

Our state-of-the-art fermentation chambers use a variable compression refrigeration system and humidity control via ultrasonic nebulization, ensuring perfect consistency batch after batch.

2. The vegan miracle: Cashew-tapioca cheese with nanotechnology

Our R&D department developed a unique colloidal matrix that perfectly simulates the behavior of dairy cheese. It’s real-time food engineering.


Exact fusion composition:

  • Organic Cashews (43%): Sourced from Brazil for the nutritional base.
  • Modified Tapioca (28%): Provides the essential elasticity.
  • Patented Formulas: We incorporate pH-controlled structured water and natural flavoring compounds.


Nanotechnology process phases:

  1. Nutritional Activation: 24-hour soaking and controlled enzymatic activation to eliminate anti-nutrients.
  2. Molecular Transformation: Cryogenic grinding at −18 ∘C and high-pressure homogenization.
  3. Directed Maturation: Controlled anaerobic fermentation with vegan probiotics to stabilize texture and flavor.


Exceptional physico-chemical properties:

  • Ideal Melting Point: 87 ∘C, perfect for stone-oven baking.
  • Superior Elasticity: Reaches 320% extension before breaking (similar to mozzarella!).
  • Thermal Stability: Doesn’t separate or break even at 250 ∘C.

3. Applied thermodynamics: The volcanic stone oven

The baking is the climax of the science. Our custom oven, the result of 2 years of development with Italian engineers, guarantees perfection in every pizza.


Precision thermal engineering:

  • Unique Material: Built with volcanic stone from Mount Vesuvius.
  • High Capacity: 18,000 Kcal/hour with a thermal recovery of just 45 seconds between pizzas.
  • Total Consistency: Maintains a constant temperature of ±2 ∘C throughout the chamber.


Perfect baking algorithms:

A computerized system regulates infrared radiation heat transfer, natural convection flows, and exposure time. We mathematically model the vegan cheese’s behavior under non-linear temperature curves for an optimized Maillard effect and perfect melt.

4. Quality control: AI and texture analysis

Our obsession with excellence is sealed with monitoring technology:

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Computer vision analyzes baking colorimetry, uniform topping distribution, and bubble structure to ensure the perfect “leoparding” index.
  • Flavor Guarantee: Every batch undergoes mass spectrometry and texture analysis via laser penetrometry.

5. Our commitment: Sustainability and circular economy

Innovation is useless without responsibility. Our process is integrally sustainable:

  • Zero Waste: We use cashew waste for composting and soaking water for hydroponic irrigation.
  • Negative Carbon Footprint: Local suppliers within a 50 km radius, solar energy for 80% of operations, and certified carbon offsetting.
