Q&A

Do you recommend 00 flour for sourdough?

Yes, we do recommend it. This flour is great for slow fermentation, so oftentimes we put our dough in the fridge for 1-3 days for the bulk fermentation.

Can you use 00 flour as all purpose flour?

Our 00 flours range from 13-13.5% protein. Typical all purpose flour is 10-12% protein. So they are very similar and for most baked goods, they are interchangeable. 

How long does olive oil last?

Olive oil is good for 24 months from packaging. Once opened, olive oil is best if used within 60 days. For best preservation, store oil in a cool, dry place. 

Do you sell Einkorn flour?

No. Einkorn is well-distributed in the US and can already be found at low-margin price points.

The cheapest place to get Einkorn flour is from Jovial website on sale. A couple times a year they have pretty deep discounts on their products (~15-25% off). Lockrmail is a great tool to setup a price watch without cluttering your inbox.

Will you have more products in the future? 

Yes! We are working on sourcing a variety of pantry staples, but if you have something particular in mind, please drop us a note and we will look into it further! 

Why do you only have one type of pasta right now?

We are committed to offering pasta that is only 100% Italian grain and is not enriched with anything else. As we find more pasta products that fit that description they will be added to our product lineup!

Is your pasta GMO free?

Does Old World deliver?

No, for right now we only have a local pick-up in Denver. Shipping costs were prohibitive for us because we really wanted to keep costs as low as possible.
