FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between "Pasta Fresca" and regular "00" flour? While both are finely milled, the Pasta Fresca blend is specifically designed to keep fresh dough from oxidizing (turning gray) and is balanced for egg-based recipes.
Can I use this flour for pizza? While you can, this flour is optimized for pasta and gnocchi. For pizza, the Caputo "Pizzeria" or "Saccorosso" flours are better suited for the high-heat requirements of crusts.
Why is "00" flour better for gnocchi? The extra-fine grind prevents the gnocchi from becoming heavy or "bready," resulting in the traditional light, pillow-like texture.
Does this flour contain any additives? No, Caputo flour is an all-natural product made from 100% soft wheat without added enzymes or chemical treatments.
How should I store such a large bag? It is best kept in a cool, dry pantry. If your kitchen is humid, transferring the flour to airtight commercial bins is recommended to maintain its milling quality.
Is this flour suitable for vegan pasta? Yes, it performs exceptionally well with just water and semolina or as a stand-alone flour for vegan pasta doughs.
