A silent symbol of Italian know-how, type 00 flour has accompanied daily gestures for generations. From lively trattorias to family kitchens in Bologna or Parma, it embodies the art of transforming simple ingredients into a vibrant cultural expression, made of traditions, sharing, and culinary elegance.
Type 00 flour is the result of a long artisanal refinement. In Italian mills, grinding is done slowly, with clock-like precision. This process yields an extremely fine flour, sought after for its silky texture and its ability to integrate harmoniously into the peninsula's pasta. It has become a cultural pillar, associated with the emblematic preparations of Italian families during Sunday meals.
Unlike the French system that classifies flours according to their mineral content, Italy distinguishes flours by their degree of refinement. Type 00 corresponds to the finest degree, with a nearly impalpable granularity. Each grain is sifted according to rigorous standards, ensuring a homogeneous texture and a controlled absorption of moisture. The result: a soft, regular dough with great stability, ideal for highlighting the natural aromas it is paired with.
Type 00 flour reveals all its potential when used in preparations requiring finesse and elasticity. It enhances traditional fresh pasta, airy pizzas from Neapolitan trattorias, or certain typically Italian light pastries. Its aromatic discretion allows the ingredients it accompanies to shine, creating a sweet and balanced harmony in the mouth.
Why is type 00 flour so prized in Italy?
Because it offers unique finesse and stability, allowing for soft, light, and perfectly balanced preparations.
What is the difference with French flours?
The Italian classification is based on the fineness of grinding, whereas the French system relies on mineral content. Type 00 is thus finer and more regular than most traditional French flours.
Can it be used daily?
Yes, it adapts very well to everyday preparations requiring a soft and homogeneous texture.
