Blue Bird flour/ Cortez Colorado

I was given 5# Blue Bird flour grown and milled in Cortez, Colorado, for Christmas - from Colorado relatives. I read that it is 8% protein, good for fry bread and tortillas. Does this mean that it is good, too, for cookies and brownies? Does anyone know if it would also match 00 (Italian) flour?? Just curious. The cloth bag is beautiful.

and it's on the low side for pastry flour.  I suspect that this is really cake flour.

Thanks so much. They say it is good for fry bread and tortillas. Thanks for the good feedback. TFL is the best. Happy New Year.
