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.

If you are from the Tri-state area (Mi, In, Ill.) you may find that "Gordon Food Service" (GFS) in you area carries No.10 can of 6 in 1 tomato product. I buy 6 or more a year there. I buy my flour there as well. And don't forget the parchment, it's cheaper there than anywhere else that I have found
Do you need to have a business to purchase from GFS? I'm looking to order some bread bags, as well as styrofoam trays for danishes.
Thanks,
Darren
I'm looking for a source to purchase this flour in the Kansas City, Mo. area, please if anyone knows let me know! thanks
To find a source/distributor in your area, you might want to Google the main North American importer: Olando Foods. They're located, I think, in Newark, NJ.
