TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Also called doppio zero flour, 00 flour is the gold standard for pizza dough flour. Italian flours are classified according to how much they’re ground, and 00 is very finely ground, almost powdery fine, with a silky softness. It’s made from soft wheat, or durum wheat, and is high in protein, and produces strong gluten. This makes it just chewy enough, and gives your pizza a nice crispy crust, and good pockets of air.

Storage Instructions

Store all-purpose and other refined or specialty flours in a cool, dry place protected from sunlight. Refined flour keeps up to one year in the pantry under these ideal conditions. For longer storage, or in a warmer climate, stash the flour in the freezer, where it can last for up to two years. The cold does not noticeably affect the texture, so you can easily scoop out just the amount you need, but let the flour come to room temperature before you use it for best results, especially when baking.
