Beyond the dough: Cala Roca’s gourmet immersion
Not all pizza classes in Medellín are the same. At Cala Roca, we ensure total immersion in the art of pizza making. When you book, you’re securing:
- Highest-Quality Ingredients: Forget pre-made crusts. We use Italian “00” flour (for perfect texture), San Marzano tomatoes (for a sweet and balanced sauce), authentic mozzarella di bufala cheese, and fresh, local toppings.
- Professional Wood-Fired Oven: You’ll learn to use the soul of authentic pizza. You’ll have access to our impressive wood-fired oven, which is key to achieving that characteristic “leoparding” (those distinct, slightly charred bubbles).
- Guidance from an Expert Chef: Our instructors are pizza artisans. They’ll patiently guide you through everything: from activating the yeast and the stretching technique without tearing the dough, to the exact moment for baking. You’ll learn the science behind the fermentation.
- The Final Result (The Tastiest Part!): The class culminates with the pleasure of eating the pizza you just created. A truly unique social experience.
Class Flow: 2 hours of intensive learning and fun
We’ve designed the session to maximize your learning without stress:
- 0-15 min: Welcome with a refreshing drink and crucial ingredient theory.
- 15-45 min: Hands-On! Practical phase of kneading, folding, and resting your dough.
- 45-75 min: Assembly and Baking. You’ll learn how to stretch the dough, add toppings, and use the peel to handle your pizza in the wood-fired oven like a professional.
- 75-120 min: Time to Enjoy. It’s the moment to slice, taste your achievement, socialize, and ask the chef questions.
The master touch: Perfect pairings for your creation
An incredible pizza deserves a liquid companion to match.
We offer pairing options (at an additional cost):
- Local Craft Beer: We suggest an IPA (its bitterness cuts through the cheese’s richness) or a balanced APA (great for smoked meats).
- Wine Selection: Choose a young, fruity Italian Montepulciano d’Abruzzo or a full-bodied Argentine Malbec. Our staff can advise you.
Important: Classes are held in small groups (max. 8-10 people) to ensure personalized attention. Spots are limited!
