Durum Wheat Semolina

Durum wheat semolina is a fine to medium-ground product milled from hard durum wheat. It is characterised by its pale yellow colour, firm texture, and higher protein and gluten content compared to semolina made from soft wheat. These properties make it ideal for producing pasta, where it ensures firmness and the ability to hold sauces. It is also used to prepare gnocchi, couscous, certain breads, and desserts. It is a key ingredient in Italian, North African, and Middle Eastern cuisines. It has a mildly nutty flavour and an excellent capacity to absorb liquids during cooking.
