Italian 00 flour-Chicago sources
I thought I remembered someone looking for a source in the Chicago area. Caputo's (Italian) grocery stores carry it, and inexpensive, too. Only $2.59 a kilo, (2.2 lbs). Sure beats $4.00 and up plus shipping (never cheap for heavier things like many pounds of flour). They also carry about a gazillion (estimate only) types of canned tomato products, from the San Marzano ($4.59 a can. Yikes!) to reasonably priced options. I bought the 6 in 1 brand for $1.79, and used it to make one of Reinhart's sauce recipes. Excellente! There are several Caputo's locations, too.
