My daughter married an Italian and lives in Italy.  She uses Tipo 00 
Farina di Grano Tenero to bake with and her mother-in-law makes pasta 
from it as well.

I would love to know the difference between this and other Italian 
flours and how it compares to our flours.

We visit her every year and I would bring some back if I understood 
exactly what it is as what it is good--or better--for.

Thanks much!

By the way, I, too, cannot fathom why people don't want to share recipes!!
