If you've ever found yourself in the baking aisle in Italy, you might be confused. What does "00" actually mean? Many people assume it refers to protein or gluten, but it's actually much simpler. The "00" or doppio zero is a grading of the flour's texture. This is the finest, softest, most "baby powder-like" texture in the Italian milling system.

The Italian classification system (which grades flour from the finest "00" to the coarsest "2") is all about matching the tool to the job. This Chef's Flour 00 from Campania, Italy is the gold standard, milled only from the soft, starchy center of the wheat kernel.

For generations, pizzaioli (pizza makers) in Naples have sworn by it. Why? Its unique combination of fine texture and specific gluten strength allows them to stretch dough paper-thin without it tearing, creating the legendary Neapolitan pizza crust.

For the American home cook, this flour is a game-changer. Using it instead of all-purpose flour is the difference between making pasta and creating silky, tender, restaurant-quality pasta that holds sauce perfectly. It's the secret to a pizza crust with the perfect balance of a crispy, blistered exterior and a soft, chewy interior.

Unlike many American flours, this authentic Italian staple is unbleached and unbromated — no additives, no shortcuts. Its elastic gluten structure makes it especially ideal for long-leavened doughs, giving your bread and pizza time to develop real depth of flavor. Non-GMO certified and milled to the exacting standards of Campania's finest milling tradition, this 1000gr / 35.2oz bag is the true foundation of your Italian pantry.
