The fine 00 grind ensures smooth dough that's easy to work with, while the natural golden color creates visually appealing pasta without artificial additives.
 
Professional Tip: 
 
Works excellently with eggs for fresh pasta. The higher protein content means dough may need slightly more hydration than regular wheat flour. Rest dough adequately for optimal workability.
