00 Flour, Pasta & Pizza Flour

When it comes to making pasta, the flour can make or break your dish. If you choose to use the wrong type of flour, your pasta noodles will come out with an unpleasant texture and taste. But there’s no need to be intimidated - because there’s one type of flour that’s the secret to perfect pasta and we’re going to tell you all about it!

What is 00 pasta flour?

Pasta flour, also called 00 flour, is the best flour to achieve perfect pasta. A finely ground wheat flour, it is specifically ground for cooking pasta (and pizza!) where a soft and lighter texture is needed. It is made from hard durum wheat, which has a smoother texture than regular all-purpose flour, so forms a more elastic dough. This is ideal for making pasta shapes and long noodles.

It differs from other types of flour because it has a lower protein content, which helps create a softer dough. It holds better shape and is less likely to break or stick together during cooking.

What is best pasta 00 flour to buy?

Farina 00 flour is a fine white ground, perfect for egg pasta doughs, as well as patisserie and Italian focaccia bread. Mulino Marino produces some of the best flour in Italy, using the finest organic grain. You can also try semolina flour if you want to make dried pasta.
