It makes a huge difference in the color of fresh pasta. Typical American egg yolks leave pasta looking very pale, but if you can find dark orange yolks, the pasta will have a beautiful gold color.
I have always noticed about the dark yolks, which we saw decades ago, but you've never seen again. Its great to read about someone who thinks it is very important.
Dark Yolks..you are so right..the best! Lived in Parma for 6 months and the eggs were delicious! Buy Farm eggs here in Maine, good but not as good as Italian Eggs and yes..food scraps are the key to better yolks!
I like the dark yolks as well but read recently that America's Test Kitchen found no discernible taste difference. Is it simply aesthetics?

I don't agree with America's Test Kitchen; I do think you can tell the difference.
(But who can get them?)
Brings back memories of agriturismo in Urbino.
