Caputo Flour in Houston?

Are there any reliable places to find Caputo 00 flour in Houston?

I live in Louisiana and usually stock up at Jimmy's when I go to Dallas. I have had no luck finding it in this state, but am hoping I can pick some up on a trip to Houston later this month.

    I think I've seen it at Central Market.

    Westheimer at Weslayan.

      Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. I love Central Market so I will be stopping there already. Are there any Italian markets in Houston?

        Nundini's is a wholesaler. They have Farina 00 (but you have to buy a whole case).

        D'Amicos Italian Mkt Cafe in the Village has a small selection. You might contact them to see.

        There was a thread on this board a year or so ago on Italian markets.

        EDIT TO ADD: It's been a few years since I've been to Nundini's but there used to be a small market associated with their cafe/gelato bar.

          Nundini isn't just a wholesaler. They have a pretty big retail store (where you don't have to buy by the case) and have 00 flour. Don't recall if they have Caputo, but you should call and ask.
